TRICKTIONARY - Promotour France

10 August 2007

After Belgium, we started directly for another trip
The TRICKTIONARY (see www.tricktionary.net ) promotour through the north of France!

Do i need to say more than - 3000 kilometers, 16 shops, 5 days?!
That was lot of work, unfortunately we had no time to go windsurfing there - although there was some wind during the time we were there.

From Belgium we went pretty much straight to Brest, to visit Exocet at their headquarter. We could see all the office and the storage-halls and always felt really welcome, thanks to Armand, Frank and Jean. Also had some talk about the next generation of Freestyle boards in the Exocet-range with Jean Marie - and changed some details on one of the recent prototypes.

After Brest we drove a bit to the south - visiting some shops in Aurey and going to Quiberon for some surf. After that back to Brest where we met our best shop of the trip - swelladdiction.com - Mathieu just opened his shop in Brest and is distributing our book very well.

So far so good, time to head home - on the way we visited all the shops on the north coast of France. Passing by in Perros-Guirec, Caen, Cabourg, Langueux, Granvillle, Le Havre and many more - finally spent one night in Le Havre - hoping for wind on the next day, but unfortunately the weather changed and the thermic wind could not develop.
So we started our way home to Austria, passing Rouen, Reims, Metz, Strasbourg, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Munich.

After that trip - basically just driving and searching the spots (shops), it's nice to get back home.
...and prepare for the next one... :)
