New magazines








 Winter isn't over yet: I can see the proof as I look out of the window....So, while we wait, here's some suggestions for some new magazines available now on our STORE
.
A new discovery, or to add to your collection, here's issue number 4 of Moto Heroes. These 180 pages on modern man cover everything to do with the world of the moto and lifestyle. Good quality paper,  good design: they talk about the fundamentals: men and design, that's to say their machines. We're proud to present this edition before it comes out in the shops. Written in French








Next issue number 3 of Cast Iron. For a long time Laurent Bagnard has introduced rock and Greasy Culture into the Custom world in all its forms, and he gives us a wonderful personal piece, each time more like a book than a magazine. This immaculately designed work includes a DVD multizone, adding sound to image: don't miss it. In French and English.







Finally,  a little bit late, but as exciting as always, Dice no48: Matt and Dean, always ready to allow us to live the adventures of an underground world from our armchairs. Written in Texan translated from Cockney.

Wheels & Waves 2013 - Update




Following several long months of suspense, peppered with frustration, we have come to an agreement with the city of Biarritz, here in France. Monsieur Didier Borotra, mayor of the city, has agreed to our request to hold the 2013 Wheels and Waves event at a truly magic, historical, and legendary spot: The Lighthouse of Biarritz.

This city, rich in history, where surfing in Europe was born in 1956, is unique in our eyes.
It brings together our two favorite elements which are the water and the asphalt, so the Wheels and Waves will be able to express themselves in full liberty for  the period of a special weekend… a weekend of action, passion, pleasure, friendship and fraternity.

The dates are now set in stone: June 13, 14, 15, and 16th.
The activities and organization can now progressively find their marks, as the program looks to be a memorable one.
The website will be ready in April, where you will find all the necessary information about the event, where to stay, where to reserve, how to access and pre-register for meals, rides, and runs!

We want to thank, in advance, our partners without whom this event could not happen.
We also thank our four special artists for their confidence in us, as we look forward to the honor of hosting them, and officially exposing their work during the event.

Once again, we thank you all for your patience and understanding that “you can get it if you really want it”, and its corollary “good things often take time to obtain.”
We sincerely look forward to seeing you.

So prepare your bikes, your boards, and let’s get together at the Lighthouse in 2013!

Vincent Prat

Wheels & Waves 2013 ?

.






 For a while I've been receiving emails every day, from all over Europe, asking me thousands of questions : I will try to reply to the main ones and soothe your worries !

 
-Will there be another Wheels and Waves in 2013 ?
Yes ! Our small team are doing everything possible to put on an event this year.
 
-Where will it be held ?
Biarritz
 
-When ?
We are working towards the 14 15 16 of June : however these dates may have to be changed, depending on the availability of venues. We will be able to confirm dates in February.

-Who can come ? Participate ?
The event will be free : that's a fundamental principle, however, in face of growing demand we have to limit participation to the owners of custom or pre 1975 cars and bikes. Neo-classical/retro-modern bikes  will not be able to take part in the various rides.

-When will information be available on the Wheels and waves.com website ?

Not before March, but we will be updating everyone via our Facebook pages and the Southsiders blog.
 
-Are you still accepting new sponsors and partners ?
Yes, of course : please get in touch by email or telephone.
