Wheels and Waves: the Festival for Free Spirits
Dive headfirst into the annual Wheels and Waves experience, taking place in beautiful Biarritz. This June, the Basque coast transformed into a hub of bikes, boards and good vibes. Riders, skaters, surfers and free spirits are welcome at this annual festival for five days of adrenaline, creativity and connection.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Plage de la Milady, the festival village hosts the wide variety of attractions including roaring custom bikes, the wild Wall of Death show, laidback surf sessions and skate competitions. The iconic Punk’s Peak hill climb brings the heart beating thrills, while scenic group rides through the Pyrenees are the perfect way to soothe the soul. As the sun sets, live music, DJ sets, art shows and an open-air cinema make the evenings come alive, keeping the adventure going until the activities begin all over again.
Among the competitions is the hotly anticipated Honda Customs bike build. With 11 impressive entries this year, you can vote for your favourite, even from afar! This year the Vertu Honda Grantham dealership team is in the final of this coveted competition with their beautifully made FTR350. It channels its Flat Track heritage with a stripped-back yet aggressive look.
It's race-bred character shines through, with the sweeping curve from seat to tank, and the front number board taking the place of a headlight. The high mounted custom exhaust mounted along with a CR Racefit muffler adds both drama and performance. Finished in a custom red, and of course its bold graphics, Vertu Honda Grantham team ensures this incredible build won't pass you by.
