hossegor is high on my list of need-to-go-but-still-havent been-cause-i'm-to-poor-to-go-to-europe spots. it has to be one of the most unreal (the best?) beachbreaks in the world.

so many places in europe with unreal waves. kicks the west coast's ass any day.

The title of best/unreal beacbreak belongs to Puerto Escondido, Mexico .... basically Pipeline with out the reef.

As far as Europe kicking the west coasts ass, not quite. Yes it has some classic places but it lines the atlantic ocean which is fickle and not as consistant as the pacific ocean.

And yes the surf is pumping in France right now .... good webcast

Ahh I miss that life,
Take all the materialism away and give me an island with a 4-6 foot perfect left, light glass offshore , NE 20-25 knots, my girl, and my shaper thats my idea of paradise.

Hossegor has grown in popularity over the years, my favorite European break however is still Mundaka, can you believe its a rivermouth break .

Correction, Mundaka WAS your favorite surf spot. The sandbar is gone and the spot no longer exists...

Sorry I forgot to add that,
I know they fucked it up royally with all the dredging they did and over the year's the spot has become almost unsurfable, the government and the toursim industry have been depressed and uncertain of what to do.

My vote for most insane" beach break" goes to Witches Rock near Ollies Point in Costa, when surfable it's a monsterous and powerful and break's over very little sand.

I gotta try to dig up some photo's........................

I still dream of one day venturing to "Cloud 9" in the Phillipines, also Tahiti to witness "Teahupoo" in all it's glory.

Witches Rock is the tits, although hard to get to and not always breaking like may other spots in Costa. Boca Barranca and Pavones are up there as well, long waves that make you legs hurt (as well as you arms after paddeling back half a mile).

Tahiti is also a dream spot, but I think thats all I would be doing is "witnessing", i dont have any kind of death wish

Hahah paddling across that channel to get to Witches is a bitch, add on top of that the salt water croc's lol. The break is funny, because it's either flat or 7-10 feet and completely closed out lol, it reminds me of my old local spot that doesn't fire anymore"(Tresspass ".

The best surf in my life was October 1992 "Sweet Scream" I broke 4 stick's and surfed the outside on RC's I nearly lost my life and drowned several times that day.

As far as I know it's the biggest surf Florida has ever seen.

The fucking shore break was closing out at 7-8 feet .
