These past few days in the Bay – not much

Yeah, well, I guess we can’t complain. We had an interesting swell over the weekend: on-shore for most of Saturday and off-shore but unsettled on Sunday. We obviously surfed in France to get most of it. Since then it’s been very small at home, and a little better across the border, especially at low tide. I made the trip to Anglet on Wednesday and had lots of fun. There’s a little swell supposed to arrive tomorrow. Let’s see…
Here are some photos from the past days (for Monday at Home see the previous post):

(same thing, but the other end of the beach)

Not many news either:

(1) We finally know who the members of the Jury of the Surfilm Festibal are… although we only have their faces, not their names. Check them out here.

(2) The O’Neill Mission (to get waves?) finally ended in (presumably) 3-4’ waves… -although apparently they only took pictures of the 2 footers- with Julian’s Wilson victory. Check here. It’s fun how although half of the competitors are sponsored by O’Neill in the last two years (I can’t remember the previous editions) it’s always been a Quik rider who’s won.

(3) I finally received the Drift magazine. I’m really looking forward to check it out. Looks… different. And in my book, different normally is good.

(4) Oh, and they had some very good waves in the Med, specially on Monday. Check it out here.

Over & out.
