BRITTANY, FRANCE; intricacies of the emerald coast

  • čas přidán 4. 01. 2024
  • Thanks to a social media post, I connected with Ian Fountain and some of the locals in Brittany, France for a big winter storm. Brittany is the largest French peninsula in the NW of France and one of the hardest coasts to score, due to it’s massive tides, translating to short surf windows…
    Combine that with nearly 2000 miles of coastline, that’s a tough shoe to polish…
    So why come here?
    By now I hope you have a gist for my taste in waves and surf trips…
    And I definitely enjoy the going off the beaten path, especially when it comes to surf trips.
    I had always gone to South west France…
    So with interesting charts lighting up the north
    I thought…
    What would it take to score waves in Brittany??

    Sick! My in-laws live in Bretagne and it’s truly one of my favorite places on earth. The surf can get all time. But the food, scenery, people and vibes are all special. Also if you like wind sports there aren’t many places that are as fun as Brittany. So cool to see Gaëtan in the intro. He runs a surf school called Zephyr and has taught my nephews how to surf for many summers. He’s a standup guy.

    Yes! Yes! "Staying in the right mindset and keeping at it." That's how we do it up in Humboldt County Northern California. Cold, big, wild, and beautiful. When cold water surfing, you change your perspective. Being in the water daily becomes more than just about surfing 🏄‍♂️ The waves 🌊 sometimes are just the cherry on top. It's that connection with the ocean and nature that becomes your daily medicine for physical and mental well-being 🤙

We call it the “rock pile” here in Grand Haven, Michigan. We have such a sick crew and would be so stoked if you came out to surf it. Would be more than happy to give you some more details on it if you're ever interested! Cheers🍻
