The last week

Sorry for not updating this sooner – my laptop has decided to completely die so it has been a mission trying to get it sorted. Not too many Internet cafe’s where we have been staying either!

Been having an amazing time the past week – surfing at least twice every day and the weather has been incredible. Mark and Fraser arrived on Monday after managing to get lost several times on the way down. Their van is probably 3 times the size of ours so quite a comical site when we are parked up next to each other. We have been camping down at Anglet the past few days but back up at Hossegor now to watch the final of the Quiksilver Pro – the surf has dropped a little but still should be an awesome afternoon. Tom and I were out surfing at Anglet a few days back and the only other surfer was Peterson Rosa (WCT pro) and when we came in Slater headed out for a free surf. Was good times sitting on the beach watching him put on a bit of a show. Managed to get tom some good photos so will post them soon.

A couple of days back we headed down into Spain for the afternoon (San Sebastien & Zarautz). Incredible little places but the waves were average so we headed back up into France for an evening surf at Anglet.

We are all consuming and unhealthy amount of baguettes, camembert and red wine but have not done any partying. Each night we are all so buggered from the day’s surfing that we are in bed at 9pm. Having some shocking sleeps – partly due to Tom’s snoring and partly due to the incredibly lumpy mattress. Haven’t had a hot shower in over 10 days now and only had my first shave yesterday so things are slightly feral. There are cold water showers at each beach though so we aren’t living as complete pigs. Looking forward to a proper bed again though and more than 4-5 hours of sleep a night!

Thinks that’s all for now, but will work on getting some photos posted.
