THE ADVENTURES OF JARED MELL

How much time did you spend in Europe?
A little bit over a month.
Which countries did you visit?
Germany, France and Spain.
How was Berlin? How was the trip from Berlin to Biarritz?
Berlin was amazing! I wish I could have spent more time there. The trip to Biarritz kinda sucked because I got left in Berlin by myself with no plane ticket to Biarritz, no phone, didn't know anyone, and my friend's credit card. Luckily I managed to call Vanessa (Insight US marketing manager) at 2:30a.m. and she just so happened to be out with her girls. She managed to help me out and I eventually made it to Biarritz the next day. 
Learn any French?
Paye ta chatte, it was useful shah.
Best year for Bordeaux's wine?
2007
Tell us about the BBQ in France?
Our friend Doudou threw an amazing BBQ for some friends and myself. When we arrived we ate great French appetizers and some amazing meat, and this unbelievable chicken. Doudou had prepared it all himself - It was great. Plus we were drinking some of the finest wine I have ever had. The night continued on with quite a bit of drinking, an awesome James Brown dance off and one wild ride back to Biarritz. Thanks to the inspirational sticks ahhaha.
Can you tell us something about the French iconic food - LE PATE -?
It's like a high end spam, but way better. Myself and some others could be found eating this daily with a baguette, avocado, lemon, cheese and of course some vin rouge down at the wall at Cote de Basque.
French girls? 
French girls ... let's just say they are quite lovely and so beautiful.
What are the key elements/tools you need to catch urchins at Cote des Basques?
A basket to keep them in, something sharp and long to catch them, a knife to cut them in half, the smallest spoon ever to scoop out the meat, maybe some gloves if you need, a baguette to eat it with and some vin blanc to wash it down.
Best wave you surfed?
In France it had to be Lafitenia, and in Spain it was the left sandbar at Salinas that was perfect one afternoon ... so amazing.
So you enjoyed Lafitenia?
Lafitenia was amazing, girls tanning topless on the beach, a mini malibu wave to surf that was chest high, sunshine, three really good buddies and uncrowded surf. I guess we got lucky.
Did you find Miky Dora's bench at Guethary?
I saw some benches there but I don't know if they were his.
What about the lifeguard and "dangerous" swimming at Cote des Basques?
No shaka
You got a new hair cut in Biarritz, tell us more about it ...
It's short in the back and long everywhere else, someone said it was a girl haircut, but i like it.
What do you do to get into ALL the Roxy parties VIP with all your friends?
Alpha team
What is the BOOBIES bracelet you have?
These rad girls gave it to me from the KEEP A BREAST Foundation. French girls rule and so do boobies!
How was Salinas and the Duct Tape?
Probably the best contest I've ever been to or been in.
How was your hotel room there?
The shower was nice, I think I might have slept there once that week.
Can you tell us few words about the last night party in the Cider place at Salinas?
Check out surfabilly.tumblr.com I posted something about it.
Anything else to add ...
