St Georges de Didonne - la jetee
Edit SpotAbout
This spot is ok... not good, not bad but I love it because the most of the time is uncrowded and the waves are pretty hollow.
Atmosphere:
Not very famous sport but I had some good session... alone !!! The water is bloody braun( it's in an estuary) which give a really special atmosphere when you are in the barrel...
