So the other day I was just minding my business driving home from a happy little surf at wategos. At one point in this coastal drive there is a stop light that tells you which direction the traffic is going at the moment, which is almost always the opposite from the direction I am trying to head. This part of the road has been reduced to one lane since the 'natural disaster' earlier in the year, not sure exactly what that disaster was, lets hope it doesn't happen again.
This day was no different than any other so as I waited for the light to change my eyes wandered around the scene in front of me. Lo and behold, right there at eye level a little star catches my eye, its none other than a sticker from Pura Vida Surf bar in Mimizan, France. Mimizan is a mere 1.5 hour drive from France surf hotspots Biarritz and Hossegor, but it might as well be on the moon as far as the beaten surf track goes. However I definitely had some good nights in this bar and some fun surfs with the owner chica Elles while I was in Mimizan for 5 months last summer.
Random days finding this obscure little reminder on the other side of the world and a testament to the power of stickers especially when in the hands of people who surf, snowboard, skateboard etc. we just seem to love stickers.
