hi Shem will be over there from about the 25thjuly for a month; poss going over the alps and then south to biscarrose as usual for the
sun.
you should try La Porge just south of lacanau, better as fewer crowds and you stop just behind the dunes as usual for free. have fun!

Good plan Shem, and wind is very variable there in the summer, sometimes we've had bugger all for 3 weeks (except sea breezes) Waves
are far more consistent, though obviously you can get prolonged flat spells.

hello folks.
If any of you are over in sunny France now...and it is sunny Im leaving
royan area and off to Lacanau tomorrow.
La Palmyre has been epic, I love the place, but its disappointing that the Royan town beaches have had kite surfing banned, even though
they still allow windsurfing, buggying, land yachting and static kite flying...as well as jet skiing and pretty much every other form
of water craft! ggrrrr. Hope your all having fun
