Morgan Just tows in on Friday.

Saturday, once again Carly and I did the tourist thing while the skim contest took place at Hossegor. I heard the waves were much better. Herve LeDoux is down there from 7 am to 7 pm running the event. That is one heck of a lot of work, and I should know. I heard that Morgan Just entertained the skimmers on Friday by using Herve's homemade grinch to tow out to 2 meter faces. Good stuff! Bernardo and his partner in Bartardubreak will post up some shots of that. Go Morgan! He has been working hard on using the bungie cord for launches and pushing the sport forward with his willingness to experiment. A bit rainy today, expected to be clearer tomorrow. Today Carly and I visited Spain (San Sebastian) and St. Jean de Luz in France, a spectacular harbor that reduces a 3 meter swell outside to a 1 meter wave on the inner beaches. Castles and chateaus everwhere. Herve and Cree have displayed unbelievable hospitality to us and we are so grateful for the place to stay on our last minute trip to France. Kids grow up quickly and there is a very small window of opportunity to get in an educational trip with them before they no longer want to do these family activities. And as my mom always says, there is never a good time to travel, you just have to go. Couldn't be more true in our current economic crisis.
