This time of year most surfers thinking of the north coast of Spain conjure images of perfect rivermouth lefts running past the harbour at Mundaka. They can have it. I would rather line up for the Tapas in San Sebastian than fight the other 100 surfers in the water fighting for their "Dream" wave at the famous left. This is probably the best bargain still going for those not earning Euro's at the moment.

Southwest France
Heading home to California soon. Feel quite fortunate to have had such amazing surf around the world on this trip. This day I surfed 3 sessions each better than the last. This was around lunchtime.

Autumn arrival
Headed out early this morning with JM looking for "the" spot. Always a bit of a challenge in France. Shifting sandbars, massive tidal swings and the mobile Swiss Surf Championships keep one on the move looking for the best combination of elements. Found a great spot this day.

Les Chasseurs de Lapin
Early morning surf checks can be dangerous in the south of France. Caffeinated baguette delivery boys, overloaded swell detonating onto shallow sandbars and of course les chasseurs. Hunting season, curiously enough, opens in September in France. Right at the same moment surfers arrive looking for their fix of beachbreak perfection. Wear orange if possible and move quickly through the forest.

Boscombe reef - UK
The artificial reef here is coming along nicely... There will be some very stoked locals if they can actually make this project work. The massive mountain of sand piled on the beach looks promising. Good luck!
