Last weekend was 15 august,a public holiday here with fireworks at Biarritz,great view overlooking the sea with a pretty amazing fireworks display.See photos.A very popular event and impossible to park within 2 ks of the centre

Beenspending plenty of time in front of the tv watching the olympics.Trouble is i havent seen very much of the aussies unless they are in the same event as the French

Still madness here with the tourists but it should calm down over the next 2 weeks as the kids go back to school on sept 2nd.

Surfs been ok,had some good punchy waves yesterday,4-5 ft at hossegor,onshore but someclean open faces,very sucky fast sections that improved as the tide dropped.Only 5-6 of us out there and what was going to be a quick lunchtime 40 min surf easily turned into 2 hours as it improved.Swell is too big today but should be ok by thursday when it settles down a bit

Craig Watto arrived in Biarritz Sunday,he's here with his wife and her parents for about 6 weeks;Had a coupla beers with them last night and i'm sure there will be more of that coz the big fella always has a big thirst.They are staying only a short distance from here. Howey arrives in a coupla days to stay with them so watch out Biarritz!!!!!
