Watch some beautiful impressions from La Torche, Brittany, France. The spot at the French Atlantic coast actually hosts the PWA Wave World Cup. During the first four days the spot saw some nice breaking waves, but not enough wind to run any heats. The pros are on stand-by mode and spend their time on the water catching some waves with their surfboard, SUP or biggest windsurfing set.
Here is a video with some nice views on the famous spot mixed with light wind action in clean waves. And if anyone wonders, why there wasn’t any competition, although the conditions look quite nice in the video, the answer is: top riders make conditions look much better than they were in reality.
