So today was a long day. We woke up early and headed down to Biarritz to surf this right-hander that broke off of a castle. It was really fun, but crazy crowded and actually pretty dangerous. Taj Burrow called to tell us it was pretty fun back in Hossegor, so we headed back up. We found this really good sand bank with a wedgy right. The only problem was there was a fishing tournament going on on the beach and they had it all closed off. I've never seen any sort of shoreline fishing tournament like this, especially of this scale. The waves were too good not to surf, so we jumped the rope, ran past the fishing security and paddled out. Fortunately the tournament didn't last too much longer, so we were in the clear. We ended up getting in one last surf session in before dark later in the evening. Probably surfed eight or nine hours today and capped our day off at my friend Johnny B's sushi place. John and I went to Long Beach state together and he just moved here to Hossegor. The sushi was amazing and it was rad to see him. He's a photo recap of the long day.

I went to biarritz last summer and walked right by where you took that castle shot at. Unfortunatly, there were no waves. And more nude beach goers down the road in spain. Weird, no?
That looks like a fun day.
