BRITTANY, FRANCE; intricacies of the emerald coast

Thanks to a social media post, I connected with Ian Fountain and some of the locals in Brittany, France for a big winter storm. Brittany is the largest French peninsula in the NW of France and one of the hardest coasts to score, due to it’s massive tides, translating to short surf windows…
Combine that with nearly 2000 miles of coastline, that’s a tough shoe to polish…
So why come here?
By now I hope you have a gist for my taste in waves and surf trips…
And I definitely enjoy the going off the beaten path, especially when it comes to surf trips.
I had always gone to South west France…
So with interesting charts lighting up the north
I thought…
What would it take to score waves in Brittany??

Sick! My in-laws live in Bretagne and it’s truly one of my favorite places on earth. The surf can get all time. But the food, scenery, people and vibes are all special. Also if you like wind sports there aren’t many places that are as fun as Brittany. So cool to see Gaëtan in the intro. He runs a surf school called Zephyr and has taught my nephews how to surf for many summers. He’s a standup guy.

@Nardvens 8 месяцев назад

I love Dylan! This reminds me of surfing monsoonal swell in Darwin with my mates back when I was a teenager. It’s far from perfect but you have the best time, and just sometimes at the right moment you can score the wave of your life.

@OspreyVision 8 месяцев назад

Yes! Yes! "Staying in the right mindset and keeping at it." That's how we do it up in Humboldt County Northern California. Cold, big, wild, and beautiful. When cold water surfing, you change your perspective. Being in the water daily becomes more than just about surfing 🏄‍♂️ The waves 🌊 sometimes are just the cherry on top. It's that connection with the ocean and nature that becomes your daily medicine for physical and mental well-being 🤙

@DylanGravesYT 8 месяцев назад

Hey Dylan! So sick. I know on “weird waves” you have already traveled to the Great Lakes, but here on the lakes we also have a wave that breaks on a pier just like the one in this video. We call it the “rock pile” here in Grand Haven, Michigan. We have such a sick crew and would be so stoked if you came out to surf it. Would be more than happy to give you some more details on it if you're ever interested! Cheers🍻

I actually surfed with and have been in touch with Matt Smolenski from there and have been trying to time a good swell, but haven’t synced one up yet … but down on coming and hanging and getting some surfs with everyone soon!

It takes real wave knowledge to navigate all the obstacles a wave like this throws at you…Steep, fast, backwash etc… it has it all. This is no wave pool!
