Our hearts are with the people of Biscarrosse.

Just a few weeks ago, our 420 family gathered in this beautiful community for the 2026 420 World Championship. Today, we are deeply saddened to see the devastating wildfires affecting the region and the people who welcomed us with such warmth and generosity.

On behalf of the International 420 Class Association, we express our sincere support and solidarity to everyone impacted by this tragedy. Our thoughts are with the families who have been forced to leave their homes, those who have suffered losses, and the entire Biscarrosse community during this difficult time.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to the firefighters, emergency services, volunteers and everyone working tirelessly to protect lives and this remarkable place.

To our friends in Biscarrosse: you are not alone. The entire 420 community stands with you, and we hope for the fires to be brought under control soon and for strength, safety and recovery in the days ahead.

Bet you didn’t know the I420 doesn’t have an age limit. Kudos to Neil for competing at the young age of 64!

He and his top notch (younger) crew finished the 3 days of qualifying races in 1st place in the men’s/mixed fleet!
