WATCH: The best Hossegor in 10 years

Joan Duru, Kyllian Guerin, Sam Piter and co score the finest local delicacy.

There’s few better zones in the world than Hossegor when it’s on. It’s beach break tube heaven and there’s something for everyone. Last week the epicenter of French surfing turned it on for anyone in attendance. Some went as far as calling it the best in a decade.

While we’ll let you be the judge of that, there’s no denying that it was cooking. Glassy and open sand bottom barrels which look incredibly inviting. So often it can feel like chasing the dragon at spots like this. Shifting banks and currents actually make it look a lot harder than it is. But, on this day, there was no doubt that it was all time.

The likes of Joan Duru, Kyllian Guerin, Sam Piter and Kevin Olsen were all on hand to make the most of it.

Seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before.

Not that long ago, in an island chain far, far away, seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before. Equipped with an array of surfboards, a packet of crayons and two ukuleles, their chances of success were slim. In pursuit of perfection, they were forced to navigate under the radar of a fleet of imperial boat charters. Despite numerous obstacles, the rebel alliance of wave-riding beatniks continued to make Galactik Tracks into a new surfing cosmos; their search for a Nirvana reaching its climax when they arrived at… The Island of Nowhere.

The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home on the Far North Coast of NSW.

Gathering is a short film from independent filmmaker Nathan Oldfield, the creator of the award-winning left of centre surf films Lines From a Poem, Seaworthy and The Heart & The Sea. The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home in the sacred playgrounds of the Far North Coast of New South Wales. The film explores Rastovich’s ideas around how the tension between the industrial and the natural in the surfing world unfolds in that place. Ultimately, Gathering celebrates how diversity and difference in ecosystems, relationships and surfing contribute to the preciousness of life. Gathering is easy on the eyes and ears and Tracks Magazine is proud to present it to you. Nathan Oldfield is a maverick, a filmmaker who wants a surf movie to say something important, to move us and make us grateful for the sea around us and the life within us. His films are quiet, beautiful and brimming with sacred purpose. Tim Winton, Acclaimed Australian Novelist
