Spain

Well, it isn’t Spain, at least according to the people living there: the Basque Country. A sturdy, proud region with the most hospitable people, unless you call them Spanish. The foothills of the Pyrenees made them into that and it tells when you ride around. Highways that snake through valleys, small roads that snake along the coast line with another unridden wave down along the shore after every turn. Everything is green and lush, the history is amazing, the food is beyond belief and the people like you will never see anywhere else.

The Spanish north coast is dotted with surf spots, amazing roads, beautiful small towns and stunning views. These all connect the bigger cities that offer a different view of modern Basque life, while seeing all the traditions they proudly keep alive.

France

Naturellement! When you say surf in Europe, you say France. Some of the best waves in the world are in France. From Bretagne to the Spanish border there are countless beach breaks that will produce world class waves all your round, from a beginner to an advanced level. With quality comes popularity, so we will always try and find the best wave with the smallest crowd that suits your level best.

The different types of countryside make it perfect to do rides in all directions. From an endlessly meandering strip of road through fields of giant sunflower and twisting roads through pine forests in the south, to the rough and rugged domain of the Bretons in the north. There will always be something there for you.

Riding makes for a hungry rider and its a good thing the French know food. “Know how?” you ask?Its France, they pretty much invented good food, so we don’t have to go into that much more.

Ireland, Scotland, Wales & England

This is one for our scout missions, because one doesn’t just ride across the Channel! Well, you do on a ferry, but we haven’t as much as we should to give paint you a Bob Ross picture, complete with happy little accidents that turn into trees. To look at and ride past!

Being an island, having a coastline is a given and with coastline comes surf, and lots of it. The land across the Channel is much less crowded when it comes to surf, but the quality of waves is high.

We have all seen what the rolling hills that go into the Scottish mountain ranges look like and we have all dreamt of riding those roads. So, thats what we will do!

Norway

When you think adventure, you think Scandinavia. Simple.

Thats what the Scandinavians like: simple and clean. Its in their design, its in their architecture and culture. Like in many cases: opposites attract. There is nothing that you can do to outdo the nature in Norway, nothing you can design or build that would cast a shadow over what splendours nature created.

We want to take you and dive head first into that overwhelming adventure. The endless forests, countless fjords and the roads that connect them. You will want to bring an extra set of all your senses so you can take it all in, but you might have to come back to soak it all up.

The surf spots are surreal with the cliffs surrounding you and the sun shining on the cold water. With almost no crowds you can stay warm by catching wave after wave and then ride empty roads back home.
