MlleLeKRoxy Pro 2012 Grande Plage 2

Today the action takes place in the Grande Plage:

I juggle between wet sand and the terrace of the city casino, to take some snapshots of the final of the 7th Edition of the Roxy Pro Biarritz 2012 and penultimate stop of the ASP Women’s World Surfing Championship 2012. Beach side, icy wind and threatening sky this morning, I am freezing cold: the girls are brave!

The weather changes 

around 1-2 p.m. and  I decide to follow the rest of the competition at the casino terrace, comfortably nestled in a puff, with a panoramic view of the final. The slender Stephanie Gilmore wins the Roxy Pro 2012 and a 5th world title: congrats! Pictures below of the best femal surfers in the world: Stephanie Gilmore, Coco Ho, Sally Fizgibbons, Tyler Wright and Carissa Moore. To be continued …

After few “lay days”,

days without waves: waves are back @ the côte des Basques for the seventh edition of the Roxy Pro. Under a blazing sun and with Justice’s music in the background, finally I can watch and enjoy the world’s best surfers at work (last photo)!

Short break for a quick shopping tour @ the Boardriders Campus 162,

the new flagship of Roxy, Quiksilver and DC in Saint Jean de Luz (picture 3). Really nice cafe with huge photos and  the ecofriendly offices of the company on stilts scattered in the greenery! Back to the Côte des Basques, the trials continue, while in late afternoon the sky became more and more threatening. Too bad for the outdoors concerts @ the Plage du Vieux Port tonight. We’ll see…

Biarritz, France: The arrival @ The Roxy Pro 2012

MlleLeK Biarritz Côte des Basques 1

For all fans of surfing

that have not been able to get to the 7th Edition of the 2012 Roxy Pro Biarritz and penultimate stop of the ASP Women’s World Surfing Championship 2012. Here in Biarritz – out of competition – everyone is surfing, quite amazing! I reach the Côte des Basques (picture 1) where the trials began. Problem: the lack of waves and the first days sessions postponed.

Tonight I really enjoy the panoramic view 

from Les 100 Marches, where Roxy hosted a cocktail. A bit tight in the VIP / Press square (lol!), we sit facing the sea in a cool and cosmopolitan atmosphere, with a good DJ. Back to the Grande Plage (pictures 2 and 3, where the final will be held) by the path along the sea: the scenery is outstanding! We stopped at Le Taïtu for a pizza session. Choose the terrace to avoid the super tacky decor inside! To be continued…
