Surfing under castles in FRANCE | European adventure

I love France and have always wanted to move here for a while - I'd surf every day, eat great food, drink good wine, practice my French and become fluent eventually... that's always been the plan.
I'm definitely surfing a lot - but my French is still coming along.

This is literally the best place on earth. Great waves, wonderful food, very relaxed vibes and perfect location between ocean and mountains.

It reminds me how much I love my country, I'm lucky to have family in the Basque country, I'm still new to surfing but whatever, I love going to the water. I look forward to summer.

[@victordehaze285]

Amazing to meet you out of nowhere in the water and we’re open for a quick chat. Thank you for depicting Biarritz like this. With that attitude you will always be welcome in France!

Hello you are right for the drone fly. You need a special licence for it and you cannot film private zone…Nice video anyway as usually 🎉

[@hug00x]

Glad you like the french art de vivre. Enjoy your trip in France, entraine toi en Français and have fun surfing Hossegor.

[@thebuildingbuyer2]

Need to stay in Hossegor. I was there two weeks ago. It's firing.

[@hommedesdunes1150]

J'ai vécu à Biarritz, l'ambiance est géniale et c'est vraiment un ville sympathique et les habitants sont adorables. If you stay in France, you should check the Ile d'Oléron where there's a really good reef break near a lighthouse at Chassiron. Wonderful place to surf

[@hommedesdunes1150]

@@digitalcp01Ah je ne savais pas, ca fait plus de 10 ans que je n'y suis pas retourné. Mais c'est vrai que tout le littoral devient inhabitable, surtout post covid les parisiens achètent en masse des logements.

I love France as well super fun surf, great food! BTW you killed it on that Album Twinsman!

45 years ago the Chamber D'Amour was a must destination for surfers from northern Europe escaping cooler climbs thats why I live in OZ now.

What!!! You here!!!

😍 Merci!

[@mikeuptegrove]

Nice man. My young surf buddy, Rory, from Big Island Hawaii, is following right behind you it sounds like. He’s heading to Biarritz and Hossegor in a few days, then over to Portugal, doing the reverse. I told him to hit Donostia too whilst he’s in the vicinity.

[@chaneltheunissen1049]

Sweet! I’m planning on moving to Europe in the near future from South Africa, but I was stressing about where I will be able to surf 😂 so glad I saw this! Thanks man, so lekker!

[@paulforbes1319]

[@zolen3046]

You have plenty of surfing here man! west France, northern Spain, and Portugal are EPIC, also good weather and no sharks.

[@chaneltheunissen1049]

@@zolen3046 Ah thanks for that, dude. What a relief, our waters here in SA are super sharky.

Good on you for speaking the language. I moved here 6 years ago and it’s not easy to pick up. Great vid brotha!

[@PianoFAB95]

Mais non on ne parle pas trop vite, c'est juste une question d'habitude. 😂 I'm not far from Hossegor and it should be great to meet you there. Just poke me, I'll be there to improve your french 😆

[@carloslukather6658]

do you have the video in hossegor also? where? nice rewien

[@CarbCrunchingVegan]

Ah shit I missed you by like 3 days!! You gonna hit Portugal again when there's some actual swell...? Would be sick to surf bro 🤙🏾

[@clayton_1000rr]

Very cool

[@Andrew-tl9gk]

Did you just put the wetsuit over boardshorts?

[@KalesBroccoli]

🤦🏼‍♂️

[@benjaminpotts2097]

Awesome that you made it to France. Probably too late... but if you're ever coming back to Bordeaux - explore the Gironde and Medoc... fun beachies all the way 👍🏼 Also Bretagne (Brittany) is worth a trip all on it's own - it's magical. I landed in France 7 years ago... never left 🤣😎🇨🇵 Passez une bonne aventure! 🏄🇨🇵

[@alexandersumin2519]

You're most likely not there any longer, but you should check out San Sebastian! Absolutely loved it!

[@gregorkoban]

One of my favourite places in europe! Also I love the video and how respectful and authentic you interacted with everyone :) Cheers from Austria

[@hbr6545]

Quick question: I'm planing on driving there with my car and stay on Airbnb but everywhere i look it says its paid parking and the apartment is 3km away from the center. I wonder how on earth people do to carry their stuff when they go surfing? Is there any free parking or something?

[@AlexBoultz]

Please come to Cornwall Brother! i live here and right now is our opening season for swell, id love if you could come over to the UK and surf down in Cornwall, we have some world class waves here🤙

[@Pa7NaSS]

Wow!!! Just from the thumbnail i clicked and 😮

How cold is the water?

[@matthiassaure4074]

I'm verry happy to see you enjoying France and Biarritz ( La plus belle ville de la cote Atlantique ! ) I really liked the vibes of your video and wish you a nice trip

[@borjazarate4085]

Southwest France always delivers, although sometimes find the good spot is hard! My fav wave "Les estagnots" in Hossegor, rippable fun wave!

[@jackmcaustin]

Yo Kale! Did you rent the shortboard there or did you pack it in luggage? Any go to rent shops for high performance boards in hossegor / Biarritz? You’re the man!!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Mine :)

[@bennyb.1742]

Aww man, should have tried to meet up with Julian and test the Son Of Cobra twinnie!

[@eoinkerrane3230]

You need to get to Ireland 🇮🇪

[@marsupiomarsu7377]

The "castle" ;) is called "Villa Belza !! The crime is the horrible building just behind, a cube of concrete build in the 70's... This buiding is a shame (but i've to admit, when you're on the last floors, you have an amazing view on the coast and the montain (even spain) !!!

[@zolen3046]

Visit Erromardie and Lafitenia, also Parlamentia if it is a big forecast. Vieux-boucau if you want to get some barrels all alone. But you definitely have to come to Spain, the best food and vibe, also epic spots around, just ask.

[@remyem3929]

Biarritz vibes haha !! If you plan to come in Paris give me a sign i’ll bring you to the best places (specially for surfskating) ✌🏽

[@TanguyBayard]

Speaking. Slowly. A language. That you master. Is super hard 😅

[@kookvision9295]

You can surf under a real 13th century castle in Limerick city Ireland on a tidal standing wave🤟

[@szontomkiewicz6549]

I love the welcome “yo” - when you’re meeting the French guys. Mine turned out to be a bit too loud, with 50 people starting at me afterwards haha
