Wow 1 week ago I set off- time flies. TBH the first 3 days were not much. All the pro is over now and I have left Hossegor- quel horreur. In fact the rain continued this morning to pour- the surf looked crap too. So I headed into town. Grabbed an expensive coffee, followed by quiche and croissant almond choc (amazing) and then bought a board sock for the unsurfed step up board.
I drove down to Anglet, stopping in Labenne to say hi to Paul who's hostel I'll probably stay at for a night next week when not camping. The rain continued. I had agreed to meet Fabian who surfed with me back at LSE in Anglet. When I arrived the surf lookded dribble and it was raining. We made the call to go in.
In fact Fabs brought the Sun because the afternoon was lovely. We had a fun surf in quite crappy waves- followed by a coffee and some deep conversation re careers and the need to surf regularly. It was good to see Fabs after all those years and at 34 he seems younger than me.
I stayed in the car park waiting to dry off some of my stuff and have car reorganise. This followed by checking out Anglet's golf facilities, but alas did not have time to play this afternoon.
As the surf is down this weekend I figured I would head to San Sebastian- for some tapas and a change of seen from the Hossegor. So here I am in a hostel which although clean is quite boring (where is everyone?). I think Ill spend Sunday nigh in San seba too but lets see how it goes. Just grabbed an icecream and tapas- that is what I cam here for. Also had a proper shower rather than one at the beach and am not camping for once. Clearly expensive weekend, but hey how often can you drive 1 hour to San Seba. Swell due Monday evening, maybe chance of a small wave tomorrow at Zurriola in town- but will have to top up the horrendously expensive parking here.
