Join the idle class in a hothouse of surfer opinion…
Who can regret the sins of the flesh? In the sand dunes behind Les Culs Nuls, site of this year’s Quiksilver Pro, the windless summer nights reverberate to the noise of indiscretion and reckless escapades.
To deny these experiences, as we know, is a denial of the soul.
It’s autumn in Hossegor now, the offshores have kicked, the holidaymakers have been stuffed back into their classrooms and office cubicles and the dunes are silent.
And, here, Saturday morning, October five, my birthday as it happens, The Quiksilver Pro France turns back on.
Today, blood on the sand as four surfers are removed from the event in the prosaically named Elimination Round, formally round two.
Watch, make a noise.

Because they profoundly suck at their job on a cellular level.
