Much of Europe experienced some big storms and adverse weather conditions over the last few months. Those of us living on the coasts or visiting have experienced some amazing surf. Although much of it has been too wild or too big for us mere mortals, the big wave chargers found their perfect waves. During this time our beaches have been battered and it is so important we look after our beaches.

Hossegor and much of Europe have been firing recently and we are finally experiencing some warmer weather too.  So despite good surf and warm temperatures many locals turned up for a beach clean-up at the weekend. Hosted by Hossegor Surf Club the surf & beach community turned up to volunteer their help.

Supporting the Surfrider Foundation, the clean-up took place at 1:30pm on Saturday. There was a good turn out and a great deal of rubbish was removed from the Hossegor beaches. Making the beaches cleaner for everyone, locals and visitors alike.
