Hi Eddie, thanks Jimmy! That's us! We're based in Hondarribia which is between San Sebastian and Biarritz. Surfing and biking! You can check out the website but it's within a week of getting an update for a new shiny one. You can see the sort of riding at FLICKR LINK

Also try the Italian riviera – Probably finale ligure would suit you best.

The med is not known for its surf though.

isle of lewis and skye ?
hebridean adventure ?

Never mind that….Eddie Fiola! Great name!

😀

One of the Canaries ? Just about Europe

Doug – if they did flights from Scotland I'd be there myself right now 🙁

That pic is awesome. I saw him at bmx beat the other year. He kicked ass.
Thanks for the suggestions. Scotland though???? Warm not cold, im thinking board shords and rash vest not a scooby doo diving suit.

Hi Jimmy, yeah it's a pity there aren't direct flights. You need to go via Paris or Stanstead. The flights via Stanstead aren't that bad, you leave mid afternoon and get here about 9pm I think.

I think northern spain is your best bet, some cracking breaks about. Be sure to see Mundaka but only try and surf it if you are very confident. Sadly the locals were the most aggro spastics i have ever encountered. The **** we met at Rodilles were utter scum.

when i went to mundaka the surf was rubbish, about a foot or really choppy nothing and yet there were still 3 or 4 people who were persevering who looked like they were having a rubbish time. odd really given that some of the beach breaks along the coast were a good clean 4' that day.
