Hossegor, France: Beach break surf action

After sleeping in the rental car on the beach after the Pirate Ship Beers & Brats party, I awoke freezing bloody cold in the parking lot of world renowned surf spot HOSSEGOR. There happened to be a world championship surf contest underway just up the beach from where we were parked. After a coffee and Pain au Chocolate, we rolled up through the dunes and checked out some of the best competitive surfers in the world surfing one of the best beach breaks. The waves weren’t ALL TIME, it really gets good at Hossegor, but good enough for a short video clip and a few photos… then we packed up and headed away from the scene, to rural Basque Country.

Pirate Ship: Hossegor, France – OMA Brats & Beers

he idea behind the Brats & Beers skate Sesh was to celebrate the launch of my Old Man Army deck with Mike, OMA co-founder, paying for the brats. Carlsberg offered a few stacks of brew, and Carhartt was happy to let us use their more than sick Pirate ship bowl in Hossegor… Nothing more was needed to get the session going and sharing good times with a few old schoolers and some up and coming young bloods!” – Greg Poissonnier
