the scenic route to Hossegor?

[Waldo]

Hi, I'm heading to Hossegor from Belgium. Any suggestions for a scenic route with good (kite)wave spots? I have a few extra days on the way back. And this weekend I'd prefer to avoid Paris...

No idea but this was Hossegor last year - had some awesome waves there!

My favourite place. I had my best ever surf there in 1993!

Oh dear - I'll be calling there on my way home next spring - here's my most favourite photo of hossegor......

It's not all bad; the Winter storms kicked up some nice banks so we've had some rather French conditions at times:

This was a couple of months ago, me and one mate out. That wave I'm on was a smaller, inside one...



Where are you from BTW? I might well know you...!

Pembrokeshire (and Aberystwyth) but had to give up surfing some years ago (still do it in my mind!)

Oh no!

I went to Uni in Swansea so know that area well but only been to Pembs a few times. We did surf a lovely secretish spot once during a stag do (we snuck out!).
