The 2018 Edition of Wheels & Waves takes place in June and Indian Motorcycle is returning for the second year as the event’s main sponsor.

From Thursday 14th to Sunday 17th June 2018, free spirits will descend on Biarritz on the Basque coast for the 7th Edition of Wheels and Waves festival. The event affirms the joy of being outdoors, with its mix of motorcycling, surfing, skateboarding, good food and great music.

The four days near the ocean gathers bike fans together for sunsets, rides and good times, as the organisers explain: “Today, the festival is all about riding culture. This gathering is a time for pure pleasure and the essentials of living. For four days Wheels and Waves stimulates all your senses. The power of the road, exposing you to all kinds of sensations, is tamed by the strength of the sea, and the harmony of the wind and the waves. And all the while the South West sun burns down on the tarmac, steel and sand.”

Indian will again be entertaining the crowds with its Wall of Death in the main village. This year it will also be bringing a fleet of Indian Scout bikes for test rides over the four days.

And on the Saturday, fans will ride over the border to San Sebastian in Spain for a day of flat track racing and Indian will be there with its ‘DTRA Hooligan’ team and swag bags for those who get in the queue first.

For those buying a 4-day ticket in advance, Indian will automatically enter them in to a lucky draw to win a Scout Bobber. The draw will take place on Saturday night, on the main stage of the village.

Advance tickets can be bought online from: http://wheels-and-waves.com/

ABOUT WHEELS & WAVES
Founded in 2008, Wheels and Waves event is the successful realisation of the dream of a group of friends, the Southsiders, who are passionate about motorcycles. Lovers of the Basque Country, Julen Azé, Vincent Prat and Jerome Allé have brought together hundreds of like-minded indivdiuals who gather in the spirit of companionship. “Wheels and Waves is about eliminating social barriers, and bringing different sets of people together without judgement. It’s about the joy of mixing together all kinds of communities, languages and cultures. It’s about living in the present without being nostalgic for the past, but not losing sight of the best moments of the past.”
