This is a review for Marty's Surf Rental. This is an outstanding service. there is a great…read moreselection of boards available for rent, an easy online reservation service, and easy coordination to get your board delivered to your hotel/vacation home. In my case, it was easier to pick my board up at the store and the exchange was flawless. Marty was busy at the times when i was at the shop, but he is friendly and personable regardless. Dude sounds like he has surfed all over the world, so i bet he is a great resource for planning your surf experience in France, but we had an agenda already. For the good quality board you get, the price of the rental is reasonable. I rented a ding-free 5-9 Firewire GoFish for a clean 3-4 foot (Hawaiian scale) swell. It was just a little bit surprising to have to pay for a bar of wax, but everyone has to make a living, so it is what it is. I do believe that if you are a serious surfer, for a hi-quality surf location like Biarritz/Hossegor you should bring your own gear, but Marty's selection allows for most people to get something close to what they would ride on their similar home breaks. Our trip involved different agendas and multiple stops in Europe and USA, so we could not travel with boards, and we are thankful that Marty's Surf Shop exists. FYI the shop is an easy straight shot 5-10 min town drive south from Cote de Basques.

I wandered in to this gallery after Gayle and I finished up our Pintxos crawl (our last stop being Gastro 148 across the street). At the time of my visit, Ekain Arte Lanak emphasized various paintings, although I found a very nice wood sculpture that I happily purchased. I had a nice visit and sales experience with Rita.

They had an interesting current show of portraits as well as a nice selection of artists they represent. Several racks contain smaller pieces.

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with this shop in San Sebastian. I bought a bag that was…read moresupposed to come with accessories. While I was looking at the bag, the saleswoman already tried to hide the accessories when I indicated that I wanted to buy it. I noticed this and asked her to put the accessories back in the bag. I paid for the bag, only to find out the next day--just before my flight back home--that she had taken the accessories out of the bag during checkout anyway and apparently kept them for herself. Unfortunately, I feel very cheated, especially since she seemed so friendly in the shop. Beware of these practices.
