Biarritz airline policies. http://www.h2oholidays.com/blog/should-i-bring-my-surfboard-biarritz-airline-policies Is it worth paying the airline fees or should I just rent once there ? If it's too heartrending to make a surf trip without your own cherished and faithful board, here are some boardbag prices of airlines landing in Biarritz.  A few handy tips to travelling with your surfbag from our guests :  If traveling with a shortboard, look carefully at the airline's standard bag size rather than paying excess for large sports equipment. Always check the state of your surfboard on arrival  at the airport and report any dings or damage immediately.  Buy some nose and tail protectors or use foam padding, pipe insulation with duct tape is really handy or bubble wrap is light.  Double up your surfbag or sock with a coffin bag for protection. Fill it with your wetsuit, towel and clothes - but don't forget you have to carry it :) If these prices are above your budget, you could always rent one once here, generally around 15 euros a day or 10 euros for two hours at the beach.  Photo indosurflife This is just to give you an idea of the airline prices, it's still advisable to check the airline sites for prices and conditions before booking your ticket.  Or another option would be to sell on your surfboard here, for example at the @alltroc second hand-shop at the Soorts-Hossegor outlet, they have been known to do good deals for our guests, obviously depending on how much you paid for your board in the first place.   Laurent Sat, 07 May 2016 08:36:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:234 http://www.h2oholidays.com/blog/cheap-flights-to-biarrtiz-book-in-your-surf-session#Comments 0 http://www.h2oholidays.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=498&ModuleID=1122&ArticleID=267 http://www.h2oholidays.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=267&PortalID=9&TabID=498 Cheap flights to Biarrtiz - book in your surf session http://www.h2oholidays.com/blog/cheap-flights-to-biarrtiz-book-in-your-surf-session Really cheap flights to BIARRITZ.

Andy Sturt, chairman of the Newquay-based ESF, said in a statement: "The English Surfing Federation is committed to give equal status to men and women in prize money - this parity is long overdue. Other mainstream and British favourites such as football, cricket and rugby pay remarkably different figures to the men and the women at the top of their game" The male winners of the World Surf League (WSL)  $525,000 (£353,000) per event while women get $262,500 (£176,000).  According to the Western Morning News, Lucy Campbell, the UK’s top ranked female surfer, still has to work at a local bar to make ends meet. Hopefully this will change things for Lucy and the rest of the surf gals and equally, let's hope the other surfing federations will follow in their wake sometime in the near future.  Photo regram from @lucysurfer   Laurent Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:15:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:260 http://www.h2oholidays.com/blog/the-seabin-project-an-awesome-invention#Comments 0 http://www.h2oholidays.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=498&ModuleID=1122&ArticleID=259 http://www.h2oholidays.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=259&PortalID=9&TabID=498 The Seabin project - an awesome invention http://www.h2oholidays.com/blog/the-seabin-project-an-awesome-invention Not all marinas are as clean as the one in Capbreton, this awesome seabin invention could help others to clean up.

The Hossegor Roxy / Quikpro are on at the same period as in 2015. If you are interested in booking a private room with us, please think about contact us early, the earlier the better.   J-Bay Open is also on despite this year's close call and despite all the dispositives the WSL uses to secure the spots  "technology is not 100% effective, our athletes know it and have always known" says Kieren Perrow, WSL Commissioner  So what's new ?  Not much. Apart from a few slight date changes (the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast starts 10 days later) otherwise the tour is identical.  The Margaret River leg will take place on 3 different spots, obviously depending on conditions : the main peak on Surfer’s Point, the slab The Boxet and the awesome right of  North Point, which gave some of the best free-surf sessions on the 2015 tour. 2016 going to be a good one.  The mens' CT tour calendar 2016 : Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast – March 10-21, 2016 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach – March 24-April 5, 2016 Drug Aware Margaret River Pro – April 8-19, 2016 Rio Pro – May 10-21, 2016 Fiji Pro – June 5-17, 2016 J-Bay Open – July 6-17, 2016 Billabong Pro Teahupo’o – August 19-30, 2016 Hurley Pro at Trestles – September 7-18, 2016 Quiksilver Pro France – October 4-15, 2016 Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal – October 18-29, 2016 Billabong Pipe Masters – December 8-20, 2016 For the ladies : No changes to the feminin side either. 4 new spots were already added in 2015 Fiji, Trestles, Hossegor et Maui, spicing up the feminin tour. The big final on now in Maui should confirm their added value to the tour.  The ladies CT calendar 2016 : Roxy Pro Gold Coast – March 10-21, 2016 Rip Curl Women’s Pro Bells Beach – March 24-April 5, 2016 Drug Aware Margaret River Pro – April 8-19, 2016 Rio Women’s Pro – May 10-21, 2016 Fiji Women’s Pro – May 29-June 3, 2016 Vans US Open of Surfing – July 25 – 31, 2016 Trestles Women’s Pro – September 7-18, 2016 Cascais Women’s Pro – September 24-Oct 2, 2016 Roxy Pro France – October 4-15, 2016 Maui Women’s Pro – November 22-December 6, 2016 Laurent Sat, 21 Nov 2015 21:41:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:255 http://www.h2oholidays.com/blog/indian-summer-on-french-surf-coast#Comments 0 http://www.h2oholidays.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=498&ModuleID=1122&ArticleID=254 http://www.h2oholidays.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=254&PortalID=9&TabID=498 Indian summer on French surf coast http://www.h2oholidays.com/blog/indian-summer-on-french-surf-coast What a start to November !

The first day of the Quik Pro drew in the crowds who gaped at the barrels and scrutinised the pros riding on the Atlantic coast's famous Autumn swell. The main site of the competition has been set up at the Culs Nus beach but on this first day the WSL roadies managed to haul several tons of equipment a few hundred metres up the beach in record time for the official call to finally declare the competition open.  Despite being a weekday and the brisk morning temperatures, the on-lookers were out, impatient to see some action, the atmosphere was intense after the two-day waiting period. Obviously the afficionados were out equipped with seats, blankets, picnic baskets, cameras and binocculars to catch every detail.  And we weren't disappointed by the show....  Laurent Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:58:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:244
