Police hard at work in south-west France…
Three weeks ago, BeachGrit’s Paul Evans reported exciting stories of subterfuge coming from the hissing beachbreaks of south-west France.
It was, it seemed, as if the French Resistance had been reanimated in 2020 as it had under the grip of the Third Reich and its French collaborators in 1942.
Today, via an old pal from Hossegor, we see the latest work of the Vichy Gendarmerie, who will hit you with a thousand-Euro fine ($U1100 or $A1800) for surfing and one hundred and thirty-five Euros for being more than a click from your house.
The Republic’s president, kinky Manny “My bodyguard is not my lover” Macron, a man who began dating his teacher, later his wife, when he was sixteen, says the lockdown is going to stick until May 11, almost four weeks hence.
The photos make for good viewing, I think.
Here, a man who may not have the necessary chops to be riding a low-volume Pyzel although his fin cluster may be the next breakthrough following the Backwards Fin Revolution.
Here, VG storm the beaches.
And, here, drawing various invasion routes across Hossegor’s beaches.
Of course, while the government and its collaborators want you to stay locked in your room, terrified, watching television, I’m of the mind that sunshine and giving yourself to the abandonment of the waves are much more useful, to health and mind.
There’s been a quite frightening outbreak of ‘common sense’ in the UK, where the police have stopped fining surfers and instigated a rule that you can surf and even drive to the surf if your journey is less than the time spent surfing! It’s gonna get crowded!
Should have rode it as an asym
Maybe that’s why the guy put his fins in uniquely
Qui vivra verra.
Or the kitesurfer/SUP special: boardies over a steamer :-/
Dude ! You better go easy with comparaison with Vichy regime during occupation by the German and our local police who is working hard here in France. I know there is not much chance of spreading or catching anything by going surfing alone but your comparaison is just silly provocation for click baits and generally there is a lot of hate in your newsletters and your social media posts. I get the jokes and tackles and your content is not to be taken seriously, but it’s less and less funny and more and more hates… Specially the sharks thing. Going back to Vichy and Général Pétain it’s one of the most if not the saddest and a shame time France has ever lived, and jews people were arrested by French police and given to the Gestapo and SS then deported for the most to death concentration camps. You probably heard about it at school, so i think your comparaison is neither funny or appropriate. Again we can laugh about everything here in France, we even have some famous humorists here who posted some pretty good ones about it and there was no problem about it, it’s freedom of speech here but again it was funny and well put. This one is pure click baits, irrelevant and it’s not cool for the french cops who doesn’t have choice anyway, it’s emergency state here, so if they refuse to arrest surfers and people breaking confinement they can loose their jobs. + In my town they’ve been working without any protections during the 1st part of the outbreak and they were always cool and polite.
Final note : If they send this 3-fins guy french surfer on a plane to Guantanamo, then let me know, i will apologize to you and for this froggy dumb long comment.
And dude ! no hate and bash on you or Beachgrit here, but i miss the time when you posted real funny bits or completely tripping content but it’s been quite a lot of on purpose trash, fake and hates headlines lately IMO… I suggest that you and your crew get your hands on large quantity of potents shrooms, ingest a heroic dose, and go back to your roots.
Feels good to flush the toilets time to time.

cops are completely worthless
As already suggested on this forum the best solution is TO CLUB HIM AROUND THE HEAD LIKE A BABY SEAL
Surfers breaking the convid 19 laws aren’t heroes.
Just pathic old men trying to get a set wave that locals would deny them if they were out in the water too
Clue#2- the gut
Clue#3- chest zip
Worse than undies on the outside of the wettie?
That’s a look surely ready to take off soon
He’s bad news this guy
The most alarming aspect of this article is this “dudes” fin placement……
You guys are being harsh on him. Maybe Derek was out there and had just knocked the front 2 fins out before sending him in…
LoL … you guys are fucking hilarious.
Maybe DR should ask Long Tom to review that fin setup.
Don’t knock it till you try it.
He definitely wasn’t arrested for actually catching a wave.
Has anyone here actually tried the cheese slicer fin setup
Maybe it works and he’s some sort of fromage based influencer
Maybe not…
I honestly saw a dude paddle out with that set up a few weeks ago
Definitely maybe not
Part of me wanted to tell him…but I enjoyed it so much…how could I possibly Rob my fellow surfers of the joy I experienced?
Hahahaha
Photo next time please haha
Would never happen with futures.
The French cheese-slicer fin setup. Magnifique !
Fuuuuck Pipeline looks dreamy right now…
50 … 60? guys in the water? too many dicks on the dancefloor.
Can there ever be too many?
NEVER
Hahaha. You funny. You’re such a pervert.
