bourdaines, france

bit of a delay as we were flying in planes and roaming countrysides.

Walked up the beach to escape and found ourselves in the midst of the WorldTour crew, a few peaks and a nice French sunset.

Notorious freesurfing punters were floating around as well. Dion high above straighty.

Slob spinners are still so in!

Dion kicking out some French jams.

There were a few bankable opportunities... Here Fred is, spinning himself something easy.

We had a nice run of sneaky waves. Then everyone found out, so I figured I might as well take a few pictures of some friends. I'll add more all week, they're all pretty random. I like that.

Maybe you're in them?
Maybe you wouldn't like that?
