Surf trips should leave the stresses of life behind us but all too often we find ourselves taking the trappings of the rat race along for the ride. Our cycle surfari is about fresh air, searching out less crowded waves beyond walking distance of the car parks, and living our days by the tides, the swell, the wind and our puncture repair kits. So, leave your laptop at home, pack your compass and a torch, lock your iphone in our van, get on your bike and come on an adventure with us...

Our cycle surfari will take us from Hossegor to Lacanau in South West France, surfing as we go! You will be cycling with your board either pulled behind using a mule or carried on a cycle hook. Our support van takes all of our camping equipment and baggage so you will only need to cycle with your daily surf needs and lunch! We pitch and collapse our camp as we move, and cook up a storm for breakfast, lunch and evening meals, so you can concentrate on cycling, surfing and exploration!

This is a mixed trip run by Big Friday but we want to share it here with Surf Sistas because we know you will love it!

We camp in official campsites with full shower facilities. Some campsites that we visit offer a swimming pool. We have two person tents which we will pitch for you each day, we will also have a communal area for eating and relaxing together in the evenings.

All your meals are included except one evening when you will have the opportunity to sample the local restaurants (or feel free to use the cooking equipment in camp).

Breakfasts and lunches will be served up in the camp or packed up and loaded in the bike panniers depending on the plan for the day and how early we are up for the surf.

Our menu is healthy and filling using local produce... And some treats of course!

To come on this trip we ask that you have surfed before and are happy to surf without supervision. We recommend that you bring your own board however this is not essential and rental boards are available. Let us know what you need when you book and we will arrange this for you.

Surf coaching is not inclusive on this trip but if you would like any one to one lessons with our coach during the week then we can arrange this no problem!

Arrival in Biarritz and transfers to our first camp site in Seignosse where your bikes and board mules/hooks will be waiting. Time to get used to cycling with the mules/hooks and boards and go for a surf! An evening feast at the campsite and then the option to explore by pedal power the local Hossegor night life.

We will be relocating to Vieux Boucau today, its a short ride so we will make a decision according to conditions and tides when to go. Depending on that choice we will surf either the breaks of Seignosse or Vieux Boucau .. or more than likely both!

[Cycle distance approx 9 miles]

After a morning surfing Vieux Boucou we will set off on our first big cycle to Contis-Plage. Good to know a hearty meal and a new surf break awaits us!

[Cycle distance approx 28 miles]

Today we head to Mimizan, again our camping spot is right by the beach and a lovely chilled out space.

[Cycle distance approx 20 miles]

Onwards to Biscarosse Plage today and plenty of time to surf.

[Cycle distance approx 26 miles]

Today we head to Pyla Plage to camp in an epic campsite in the pine forest by the largest sand dune in Europe. Our route hugs the coast and we will explore places to surf as we cycle.

[Cycle distance approx 24 miles]

This is the big one, the cycle from Pyla Plage to Lacanau. After a morning surf we will load the boards in the van and hit the road boardless for the big ride. A ferry ride across the stunning Archachon basin breaks up the ride. We arrive in Lacanau in time for a sunset surf and our final night feast.

Time to surf and relax before transfers to Bordeaux airport.

We are lucky to have the support of some amazing brands! Big Friday is sponsored by Oakley and they are getting behind our cycle surf adventure with some amazing goody bags which include Oakley clothing and sunglasses from the male and female summer 2013 collection for everyone on the trip.

Travel Insurance - It is essential that you take out a comprehensive personal travel insurance policy. Please check with your insurer that you are covered to surf and cycle each day.
