UPDATE 31 March 2006The 2005 link to the festival is dead and has been removed from this post. I believe that the original festival lost its sponsorship, the
Biarritz Tourist Office only appear to list the
Roxy Jam Biarritz.

The 2005 Biarritz Surf Festival gets underway on the beach at the Côte des Basques, South West France, July 9 to 17 and brings together some of the greatest names in Hawaiian and world longboard surfing.
Beginning with the traditional and symbolic
mixing of the waters by hundreds of surfers arriving from the four corners of the globe, the Surf n Rock festival offers a week of contests, demonstrations, music, films, long summer evenings and
Hawaiian aloha spirit.
