    I just got back from my 3rd trip to Brittany and even though we got washed away by rain, the way France has preserved its historical character is beyond amazing. I am Belgian so it's my neighboring country and i am glad to be discovering it as a beginning surfer. Waves here in Belgium are mostly lazy if we get any at all. We rarely get good surf (according to others).

      Brittany just wasn’t bombed as heavily in either World Wars as Belgium. Poor Belgium, would have been equally as beautiful were it not for that.

    Surfing in France is fun and can get really good but only when you can plan your all day of work around surf session.
    Otherwise the wind or the tide isn’t good. This is why so much international workers are around south west and works remote.
    As a normal worker you don’t get that many good sessions in France compared to other country….

    Kale. Question to you. Cost wise do you believe it is better to choose a single place to stay and rent a car vs. Having a trailer/motorhome? I did a surf trip to Portugal few years back and i wanted to do the same in France. But having to move around to find better/less crowded spots seems that the motorhome alternative could be a.little better. But i would like to know your opinion...did you look at the alternative? Or do you believe renting a place over MH is better costwise? Thanks!😊

    • @KalesBroccoli

      MH are super expensive but added benefit of being mobile. I prefer a wider and steady space for working holidays but MH for purely surf

      The Gouf of Capbreton, a deep submarine canyon, is at the origin of those beautiful, powerful waves. The water rises rapidly from the 50-100m depths of the gouf close to the coast. There’s a similar gouf off Nazare in Portugal.

    Perhaps you and your level (and fame) gives you the chance to actually get good waves, on the other hand as a beginner, France is a nightmare. There is no line up and people are rude, disrespectful, arrogant and just plain unconscious, specially the more advanced they are. And not only France but most of the coast down to Spain and Portugal. I have been surfing these coasts for the last 3 years, all seasons, i live in a van and man it is tough out there. People don't even say hi in the water, (just like on the streets) even when I look at them with a smile and a respectful "hello". Only beginners respond (some times, rarely), any body, even KIDS! If they are not beginners they are rude and vulgar in their manner towards other less experienced surfers. It's crowded and it is a zoo out there. In my experience as a beginner. I am still yet to find a spot where there is actually a line up of some kind and friendly people in the water...😢 one may think that by the price tag of the sport one may find better manner and education but the wealth in Europe as in America, lived in both, has nothing to do with manners and education as it used to be, it is full of "new rich" people that are nasty, vulgar and uneducated, specially in the water. Actually quit surfing for a few months last year because of it, i picked it up again not long ago but getting tired of the crowds and the unconsciousness again... glad you have a better experience.
