After spending an entire week in a near total internet blackout, at one of the most remote locations I think I have ever been to, we headed back to San Francisco and civilisation as the end of our trip drew near. Of course there will be a full feature on our trip to the SoloSports set up in Punta San Carlos, Baja California in the next issue… In the meantime though we didn’t feel like wasting a day and so we headed to Waddell Creek to check out the action.
Manu PORTET, F-One Pro SUP and Surf rider, takes us on a wild tour of the best spots in the Basque region, in the South West of France. Equipped with his F-One Madeiro Pro 7'5'' x 26'', Manu amazes us again and again with his radical and powerful style.

Even if you think the wind is not there, the tree tips not moving an inch with lake tahoe just flat glassy, it can actually blow 20 mph on the ridges. What you really need is somebody that knows the area, knows how to read the sensors at the top of the nearby ski resorts, and if you have the right guide with you, and we did in the person of F-One team rider Tyler Brown, the result is one magical day of snowkiting
