Roxy Jam Biarritz - Surf, Music and Art festival
Next July, the Roxy Jam Biarritz will be celebrating its 4th birthday. In its magnificent setting at the Basque Coast, the event has become a major meeting-place in the world of women's surfing, as well as being an authentic cultural and musical festival. Keeping faith with its principle of mixing surfing competition with art and music, the Roxy Jam Biarritz shares its summer quarters below the Villa Belza, from 10th to 14th July of this year, with an intense schedule of surfing, concerts, exhibitions and shows, all free of charge.
And also...
The showing of the new surfing film, "Dear & Yonder", which magically retraces the history of ladies' surfing and its charismatic figures: from the lamented Rell Sunn to the young and prodigious Sally Fitzgibbons, not forgetting Lisa Andersen, Linda Benson...
The Roxy Jam Biarritz 2009 will end in a blaze of glory on 14th July, at the Grande Plage, with demonstrations of tandem, pirogue boats, a concert and the traditional and majestic firework display, held every year to commemorate Bastille Day.
