Our friends from Quiksilver drove over all the way from Biarritz for a visit, bringing with them some paddle boards, the latest craze amongst Hollywood celebs right now. Its basically a long board with a paddle hence paddle board the name …genius. The idea is to stand on the board and paddle, again very simple but actually much harder than it looks as it’s a full body balancing act. So having said this please note I did say the “idea” is to stand… the photos that follow are an attempt to document one of the most absurd and hilarious things we’ve ever witnessed at the beach. Paddle board relay races team 1: Le Grand Bizarre, a team made up of eccentric and very skinny performance artists with Velvet D’amour as their cheerleader. Team 2: Quintessential made up of some very well built english rugby types. Yes it hardly seems like a fair race… well the outcome was surprising to say the least… with some shameless cheating and unique paddling styles le Grand Bizarre beat the pants off the well built “hunks”…. amazing.
Big up to Florian and Brett from Quiksilver this was the best fun we’ve had all week!
