Basque Country Kayak Surfing

In the nook of the Bay of Biscay lies an area of coastline absolutey awesome for surf kayaking. The spanish area is north facing with bays, points and reefs. The french section is west facing with extensive beaches directly in line with the Guaf deep ocen trench, directing any waves there. Wouter and I were unlucky to get flat seas for most of the trip, seems like summer came late to Europe this year! but the last week offered some waves. (that sparkly thing is my new surf kayak too, it rocks!)

The best line ups we had

Sunrise session

Classic europe big wave spot, not that day! Guethary.

Went sight-seeing to the Gugenheim instead, Bilbao

Crowds

...a great place to go, with a lot of culture. The Basque guys are certainly unique, no better seen than when we went to see the final of their local game of Cesta Punta; cross the concept of lacross and squash, play with a melon sized golf ball and you ahve a fair idea what it's all about!
