#LogDaze: Java to France with French Longboarder Margaux Arramon-Tucoo

Anna Ehrgott and I paddling through Oceanside Harbor on a nice fall afternoon. Anna is one of those people I met years ago and friends for life—best travel buddy. Photo: @hisarahlee

My friend @binch_aquashots and I always go wave hunting in Les Landes, north from Biarritz when swells make them sandbars perfect lady waves. This is one of the most magical sessions I have had over there. One click to my favorite place on the board as you are always seeing the wave much closer and you can control your speed and time.

Here is @lolamignot one morning in Hossegor, France. We found this mini, super-fast right that looked like a lego point. The wave was dreamy because it had this grey and misty color to the ocean, and the right was just a perfect mini sand bar, all to us. Photo: @binch_aquashots

Another day in Southwest Java with my beautiful friend Hanna from Canada . Hanna use to mostly ride shortboards until she moved to New Zealand. Now she dances on 2-foot waves like she's done it forever. I love to watch her raw yet beautiful approach of classic longboarding . Photo: Thomas Lodin

Longboarding allows you to surf any kind of waves with its best and worst days. Here is one of the best days. For most people, this could be not worth it to go out, but in the practice of classic longboarding, it's called a perfect wave. Photo: Thomas Lodin
