The summer has started, well it did start and now i think we have gone back in time, to relive a realistic march in which we should of had.
I've been in france for a week now, my girlfriend and i ventured down here in my van, we plan to stay in france and spain for at least 2 months, in which is a test in many ways.
i love europe this time of year, but this time, so far has been pretty terrible, the ocean is a wind swept mess, and the weather, is atrocious, it feels like the middle of winter.
fortunately i have had some good luck in the first wqs of the european season, i battled through to the semi finals, in which is my best result on the wqs tour so far, so i'm stoked about that, its given me the confidence boost i think i needed to do well on the tour. I really enjoy competing, its something i have done since i was a kid, i love winning and hate loosing, just like anyone i suppose, the thing i don't like about it is that you arrive at the competition sight and don't really get to explore around the place before you go to your next venue. Thats what i love about having my camper, we can rock up anywhere and stay the night, check out the whole coastline, not just 1km of it.
Hopefully this summer will be for filled with adventure, fun waves, fine wine and good company along side with some more good results.
The wind a the rain finally stopped, for a few days, we managed to surf the world famous mundaka, in north west spain and get amongst hossegor’s finest beach breaks. This is what france is all about, this is why thousands of surfers flock here to enjoy these rare occasions in which the swell, wind, tide and sand banks all come together.
