A trip to France is a must for anyone who surfs. With its long sandy beaches, hollow green waves and crazy nightlife – why wouldn't you want to go?
Headline acts like Hossegor, Biarritz and Lacanau draw the biggest crowds, but head further north and you'll find the coastline becomes much quieter and whole lot more varied. There are consistent reefs and beaches that break in virtually any wind direction, and hidden spots where you can score waves all to yourself. Check out places like La Torche, La Sauzaie, and Sauveterre – you won’t be disappointed.
