L'adventure De La Mascaret

Relates to Surfing

Just returned from an eye-opening expedition to surf the Mascaret in the vineyard region to the east of Bordeaux. This was our second outing to the area, and once again the hospitality of the local surfers was first class. We stayed at Chez Fabrice, right on the banks of the Dordogne in St Pardon, only minutes from the local pub/restaurant and entry point to the river.

The surfing was a totally unique experience relative to our own tidal bore on the River Severn, and we had some excellent rides. Uncountless memories, but I can reveal no more, since I am sworn to secrecy! Just a huge thankyou to all the local Mascaret surfers for making us so welcome, along with everyone at Chez Annie (Cafe Du Port in St Pardon). We hope you fancy joining us soon on the Severn, where we can return the favour, and, bon chance avec le English Take-Off!
