Locals fever
As waves were big and good the last weeks, locals were pretty aggressive (but fun in fact) I got fun waves to surf. It was a good session.

Power on my head !
Ouch: 1.5m, 12 s period... we went to the north  and found some really powerful waves. It was in fact a big shorebreak which opened from time to time. I get tubes and mutant waves (larger than high...). It was a hard but fun session.

Le Porge Bordeaux, France
went down to Le Porge with my family, to taste the wine and to teach the kids to surf. Le Porge is the closest beach from Bordeaux. This wave can get some very good swell, but its also a good beginners wave. The surf school we put the kids in was fantastic, they get a weeks lessons with a very nice professional instructor. you can just drop me an email if you want any info.
