Session Report: Somewhere Las Landas

By Simon Murphy:

The great thing about living in the Bay of Biscay is the diversity of waves in different conditions within 150 km s. Rivermouths, bombies, slabs, ledges, wedging and peaky beachies are all there for the taking if you are in the know. This day we left our homes in north Spain under dark, cold rain 2-3 ft crossshore slop to cross the border 2 hrs away to find offshore slabbing 4-5ft madness in France! Reminds me a lot of doing the drive from the Gold coast back home in Oz down the NSW north coast…however the change in conditions is not the only eyeopener! A completely different culture, language and geography as the mountains of spain give way to the sand dunes of Las Landes in France. One of the big ups to living in this part of the world! Joined by Rui and myself were some first-time groms (Xabi, Dani, Richi) who were stoked on the power of the sand-bar slabs which magnify all its energy due to an outside deep water trench. After 4 hrs of pits it was back in the car , across the border to the land of tapas and bull-runs. Hasta pronto Simon”

Session Report: Summer is here!

By Simon Murphy:

  Well summer is definitely on its way...today was nearly 30 degs, skies were blue and a small swell meant the fun peaky shorebreaks of Sopelana were on the cards. Whilst the banks were abit funky and the swell was only 2ft it was a chance to let loose and enjoy the warmth! Joined by local chargers Javi and Iban a fun session was had by myself and Roo dog. Heres a few pics taken by myself and Roo dog from the session.....hope ya´s like! There´s a comp on this weekend so could be fun for the local Basko team....but for me Im heading south to a Bodega to drink,eat,drink,eat and drink some more....until next time Simmo”

Session Report: Santa Marina

By Simon Murphy:

 Last Sunday Roo dog, Eugene and myself went on a mission for waves and ended up finding a fun lil slab throwing out some nice small barrels in the light onshore breeze. Coming into summer now its hit n miss to get the 6 ft plus sessions we re used to in winter but hey the waters warming up, suns out, birds are chirping and was just the boys out on a sundy arvo....until next time”
