Anglet Surf Club is one of the oldest surf clubs in France. Sixty years after its founding, its veteran members recount how surfing has changed — and what hasn’t.
In the 1960s, surfing in France was a curiosity. In Anglet, young people who looked at the ocean differently began experimenting on handmade boards. What hasn’t changed, according to the veterans: the wave is still the same. The Atlantic produces conditions in Anglet and Biarritz that rank among the best in Europe.
