BRITTANY, FRANCE; intricacies of the emerald coast

Thanks to a social media post, I connected with Ian Fountain and some of the locals in Brittany, France for a big winter storm. Brittany is the largest French peninsula in the NW of France and one of the hardest coasts to score, due to it’s massive tides, translating to short surf windows…
Combine that with nearly 2000 miles of coastline, that’s a tough shoe to polish…
So why come here?
By now I hope you have a gist for my taste in waves and surf trips…
And I definitely enjoy the going off the beaten path, especially when it comes to surf trips.
I had always gone to South west France…
So with interesting charts lighting up the north
I thought…
What would it take to score waves in Brittany??

Dylan is the Anthony Bourdain of surfing.

Nice! The Brittany crew that come to surf in Ireland are always super friendly and respectful, they get it, unlike some!

Every episode is Gold, is like watching a Discovery channel documentary, where the content and the narrative is perfect.

It's not just about catching the best wave, but also about enjoying the good vibes and chill surf. Love it.

Thanks for the respect toward us, appreciate that to see a foreigner coming around here and understand what surf is all about around here. The super isolated spots and a lot of hard conditions make you appreciate perfect waves when D-day comes !

Dylan, it's a joy watching your videos. You bring such stoke, heart, and soul to every situation.

Sick! My in-laws live in Bretagne and it’s truly one of my favorite places on earth. The surf can get all time. But the food, scenery, people and vibes are all special. Also if you like wind sports there aren’t many places that are as fun as Brittany. So cool to see Gaëtan in the intro. He runs a surf school called Zephyr and has taught my nephews how to surf for many summers. He’s a standup guy.

"It seems more about keeping at it and staying in the right mindset", fantastic way of thinking. Love it!

[ianfontaine]

Was so fun !!! Thanks for the vibes Dylan :)

[garthkite]

It's so much like Cornwall there, looks like home. You really captured the fun of making the most of what you have to hand. Real waves real people, Good tunes too. Subbed!

I'm about to turn 76 and haven't surfed in over half a century but I champ at the bits when I see that sweet little right inside the harbor! It's just my current speed!

This is it, you got the local spirit direct from the best scout out here!

Old skool style surf vid man, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Love you work

[Nardvens]

I love Dylan! This reminds me of surfing monsoonal swell in Darwin with my mates back when I was a teenager. It’s far from perfect but you have the best time, and just sometimes at the right moment you can score the wave of your life.

[Rubblechops]

Stayed with my family in Crozon last summer. Love the area, waves all over if any swell. Crepes overlooking stormy beaches. Ate my body weight in butter with pastries for breakfast every day. My boys loved using the Beefs Womper I picked up in Brest. Friendly seals too.

[ivantheterrible]

It looks fun. Really just the camaraderie and chilling with the locals and having a cool session then some drinks and food. I love that the most about surfing on my travels

[waterman]
