Wheels and Waves: A wave of mud ,oil and leather.

Once a year the mundane beach life of Biarritz makes way for leather, oil and mud. The surfboards can stay, though. Wheels and Waves is an unlikely but strangely successful blend of grassroots motorcycle fun and the region’s favourite watersport.

Wheels and Waves is four days of fun. Whether it’s on a bike, on a board or just watching the show. It’s a celebration of freedom, whether it’s on the road, the mud or the water. Music and style are what bring the whole show together. There are surfing competitions and two-wheel races with fierce names like the Punk's Peak Sprint race and -the Swank rally, so you might think winning would be important, but it actually isn't. Wheels and Waves is all about fun and spending four days with friends, bikes and boards through the hills and across the sand.

Describing Wheels and Waves with words is not an easy task. This is why we wil let these images do the talking.
