France Says, “To Hell With San Fran, We’ve Got Ocean Beach With Better Waves And Bare Breasts!”

The year of La Nord 2020.

By most accounts, or at least by most social media accounts, France has been the undisputed victor of this northern hemi winter. 

Massive swells, offshore winds, premium sand banks—what else can a neoprene queen ask for?

While shorebreak haven La Graviere originally provided the thunder, recent swells have focused more on Hossegor’s outer bar, La Norde, which bears a striking resmeblance to San Francisco’s Ocean Beach. One could argue it might be even better.

A point, however, must be allotted to OB for not (typically) allowing the use of personal water crafts. Because step-off tubes count for 15% of their paddle-in value.
