france with out a car

[joem]

is there anyway you lot can think of that i can surf fracne cheaply without the use of a car?

Fly to Birritz Airport... Bus to Anglet and camp near the beaches. Then you have a nice selection of breaks/groyns from the cliffs to the river all in walking distance and still near shops/pubs/town.

Or bus to Capretonn/Hossogor and do the same (tho there arn't many campsites in/near town

[joem]

would i be able to do that with my board in tow? and how crazely crowded will that area be in the summer?

[PapaW]

All of Biscay is crowded in summer, your not going to escape that!

I didn;t have any probs on the bus a few years back with a board.

[joem]

thanks for your help and yeh i know its going to be crowded its the scale of it i was wondering about?

Avoid July and August which are insane, the population in Biarritz swells from 30,000 to 250,000.

Go in September (best time of the year for waves too).
