A couple of perfect days at Cotes des Basques near Biarritz on Monday and Tuesday. Perfect clean a-frames, and warm sunshine.

Last night we went for a lovely meal at Cream cafe, and saw the Hobgood brothers - chillaxin with their children. A powercut called a halt to the night, which was going to be an open-mike night, but instead turned into candlelight drinks and an acoustic set from the band. All fun…… but when we got back to the camp we were locked out by 10 mins! We had to abandon the van at the gate and walk the rest of the way to bed!

Today’s been brilliant for all of us. Conditions were a bit messy at dawn but we got in anyway!  As the day progressed it got cleaner and cleaner. Rachel had a storming day! She rode some long left handers at le Penon. Sarah had a barney with a German, but got the better of him, and got the wave! Everybody got a good days surfing.

For dinner Paula and Claire made a fantastic meal of pasta and salad for the whole tour, and the alcohol was flowing!  The day is still going on with card games looking set to go way into the night!  Not everybody is likely to make the dawny tomorrow!!!!

Surf report looking good for the next few days, and we look forward to the Pro France kicking off at the weekend.
