We dreamt it, nurtured it, it was within our reach, but due to the current health situation and the latest implemented measures, we have been forced to cancel the Wheels and Waves “Hors Serie” edition that was to be held from 3^rd to 6^th September 2020. 

We knew that postponing the festival from June to September 2020 was subject to the evolution of the health situation. We have been reminded of it every day over the past few weeks. But we decided to try. Boosted by your encouragements, and the unfailing support of local authorities and our partners working alongside us, we did all we could to offer you an event of a slightly different format but just as exhilarating as always.
Yet the evolution of the health crisis over the past few days, the increasing number of unknown elements, and new restrictions which have been legitimately enforced upon us, began to plant seeds of doubt. Today, the doubt has been replaced by a foregone conclusion: the intensification of the situation has made it impossible for us to continue to prepare the “Hors Serie” edition as we imagined it at the beginning of June. And even if we were to bring the project to fruition, where would the pleasure be in coming together without the spontaneity, coolness, craziness and freedom? What is the point in holding an event based on exchange and sharing at a time when everywhere we go, we have to keep our distance? Confronted by the highly restrictive health measures currently in effect, and because we have a responsibility to take part in keeping everyone safe, we feel duty-bound to cancel the event.

To preserve the founding values of the festival, so that Wheels and Waves remains for ever more a time of sharing, celebration and freedom, we will be back in 2021 for our 10th anniversary which, we can tell you now, will be Extraordinary! Until then, stay connected. We will continue to bring you wonderful things to discover and to share…

For all ticket holders, no worries! Check out the conditions for exchange/refunds in your personal account on our website.

The 9th Edition of Wheels and Waves will bring the festival back to its birthplace, a return to its foundations. Where tarmac meets the ocean, the iconic lighthouse in Biarritz will once again host the event.

Images of the sun, sand and surf of Biarritz beaches, the dust of El Rollo, the dirt of the DEUS Swank Rally, drew our thoughts to the early days of motocross in Southern California; inspired by the iconic colours of the Honda motocross team from the 70’s, where the Wheels and Waves lifestyle built its DNA as a way of life.
The HEDON X WHEELS AND WAVES 2020 helmet is a hommage to this time and lifestyle, to where and when it all began…

• Retro styled, vented MX peak 
• Composite shell of fibreglass and carbon fibre
• Heritage design with GOLD LEAF paint, gloss finish
• Natural calf leather trim and lining
• Brass anodised Steel HEDON plate
• Brass anodised steel hardware
• Weight 800-900 grams upon size
• ECE 22.05 DOT on request

Take your 4-day online pass now and try to win a 16-day roadtrip for 2 people in the USA. California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, an unforgettable motorcycle trip with our partner INDIAN MOTORCYCLE.

General terms and conditions

Here it is! Introducing the official poster of the 9th edition of Wheels And Waves.
It was created by the brilliant artist Blaze Brooks based in Brooklyn, New York.

Dear Visitors, Dear Partners, Dear Exhibitors, Dear Friends,

After many ups & downs the 7th edition of WHEELS AND WAVES ended Sunday under the sun of Biarritz!

We would like to thank you warmly for your participation as well as your understanding following the “move” of the Village after the storm suffered at the Cité de L’Océan 48 hours before the beginning…

Solidarity, the unfailing enthusiasm of all the protagonists allowed us to rebuild in just 2 days & 2 long nights the headquarter of WHEELS AND WAVES aka the Village. A huge thank you also to the City of Biarritz & his team without whom nothing would have been possible.

Once again, & with your support, WHEELS AND WAVES delivered 4 days of emotion, friendship, races, performances of artists and legends, waves, skateboarding, concerts in a spirit of authenticity dear to our values!

“Wheels and Waves means living with the time, without nostalgia for the past, but looking in the past for the best! ”

We hope to see you still so many in 2019, once again THANK YOU !!! & experience Wheels and Waves 2018 with Sebastien Zanella Official movie.

Stay tuned and don’t forget THE SUN ALSO RISES !
