May in france has been full of surprises, from perfect la Gravier, to catching the biggest Sea Bass, i have ever seen.
I spent a week in Mimizan to do my level 1 surf coaching, with legend himself Dean Gough @outer reef surf school http://www.outerreefsurfschool.com/ A good surfer and coach from wales. We stayed @http://www.puravidalodge.com/, which is a beautiful lodge about 5 mins away from the beach. All the staff were really friendly and made us feel at home. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mimizan, or wanting to do there level 1 surf coaching.
Catching your own food is 1 of the best feelings in the world, well i think so anyway, France has a lot of tres bon sea food to offer, like these oysters. I’m not a massive fan of them to be honest, but all the old geezers over here seem to think they do the job !
Cat walks aren’t really my thing - Rip Curl held there sales meetings and fashion show, for 2013, the girls seemed to know what they were doing up there, but myself and the rest of the guys just looked like muppets, not a bad view on stage though, to say the least. Looks like some funky shorts coming out next summer, so keep your eyes open : )
