Buy an advance five-day pass for a chance to win a
16-day Californian tour on an Indian Motorcycle
FRANCE (February 24, 2020) – Indian Motorcycle has announced its fourth consecutive year as headline sponsor of Wheels & Waves with another impressive offer for advance five-day passes; automatic entry into a prize draw for a 16-day tour on the legendary roads of California with an Indian Motorcycle.
From Wednesday 10th to Sunday 14th June, Wheels & Waves will bring the culture, art, food and music surrounding motorcycling, surfing and skating to Biarritz with all advanced 5-day holders present at the prize draw, made at the main stage during the festival, in with a chance to win this trip-of-a-lifetime.
“Partnering with Wheels & Waves for our fourth year was an easy decision and we’re really looking forward to seeing everyone again this June. The event has become a special part of our annual calendar attracting our owners and riders groups from all over the continent to celebrate the joy of riding and everything that surrounds the motorcycle lifestyle. I can’t wait to meet and congratulate the lucky winner of the Californian tour,” says Grant Bester, Vice President International, Indian Motorcycle.
Awarding an exciting prize during the festival has become a regular part of the Indian Motorcycle partnership with Wheels & Waves, with a brand-new FTR 1200 presented during the 2019 event to Rémi Bourderioux, a teacher in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. This year’s prize of an epic road trip also fits perfectly with the ‘Timeless Experience’ theme for the ninth edition of Wheels & Waves set by organisers, Jérôme Allé and Julien Azé.
“Timeless since, from its inception, Wheels & Waves has strived to maintain a subtle alchemy between the aesthetic of the past and modernity, its vision always focused on the future,” explains Julien.
Jérôme continues, “Wheels & Waves is an experience first to be dreamed of, well before the start, since for many visitors coming to Wheels & Waves is already a trip in itself. An experience above all to be lived, letting go for a few days with the pleasure of riding, surfing and skating.”
Over five days, Wheels & Waves 2020 will play host to an eclectic mix of events and on every day on the beautiful Basque coast there will be:
– A Village of tents and stands at the Cité de l’Océan
– Surfing contests, depending on weather conditions
– Skateboarding sessions & contests
– Music concerts
– Screening of films and documentaries on motorcycle, surfing, skateboarding
– Plus, a schedule of special events across multiple venues including flat track, enduro and sprint racing
