EDITION 13 – 12 TO 16 JUNE
All information to prepare your Wheels and Waves Edition 13 experience and stay in the Basque Country.
WHEELS AND WAVES Biarritz Edition 13 ended on Sunday June 16 in an atmosphere like no other, and now it’s time to say a huge THANK YOU!!!!
Dismantling took us a while, and we’re just about back in our sweet home, where we’ll be able to rest and put things into perspective… But first of all, THANK YOU to all of you, visitors, partners, sponsors, exhibitors, followers, photographers/videographers, family, service providers, technical teams, municipal teams, local players, Biarritz town hall, prefecture, guests, some of whom have travelled the world to meet us!
The enthusiasm shared during all these experiences – Artride, The Race Of The Lords, WAW Vintage Rally, El Rollo, Duo Log, Hit The Deck, concerts, screenings – leaves us still believing that authenticity and originality, values to which we are deeply attached, constitute our DNA. A special thought to the Punk’s Peak accident victims who are doing well but were unable to share these moments with us.
We’re already looking ahead to more of our beloved far-flung adventures, and we’ll be giving you details of our future plans very soon… Meanwhile, check out the 13th Wheels and Waves Biarritz Aftermovie, directed by our talented friend Yoann Branet. Immerse yourself in this immersive experience and live every moment as if you were there! Stay tuned…
