Too much surfboard and not enough Cali.

The grille treatment looks better than the one at Busfest.

I am speechless! ... that is weird, thrilling, freaky & exciting. That video is filmed in Pais Vasco, Spain in Zarautz. It is where my family camped for a few nights a little over a month or so ago. We had planned to stay one night, but the weather was so great & our spot was overlooking the bay, so we decided to stay on as it is normally rainy. At the end of our final morning we left with rain approaching and got on the autopista only to have our Cali smashed an hour or so later. I hope the surfer in the video didn't have the same experience.

Here are our last photos before the Cali was smashed.

... and I am not sure of the size of the board of the surfer on the video, but I have traveled with an 11" board in our T5 Cali (back driver side stretching to nearly the glass on the front passenger side)

Thank you for sharing that video, but it is thrilling & creepy!

Great Pictures. That is very weird and cool and spooky that it's a yellow beach in the place your yellow beach was. Definitely a sign to buy another yellow beach!

It looks real pretty where the Cali is parked in that nice green field, but it is a well fertilized field with lots of dog poo everywhere as the dog owners take their pets there to run around during the day and the people sit in that same spot to watch the sunset at night.

Is a Spanish ad.... the size is because, according to the ad, the guy is using the same board as the sport's pioneers use to use. I've got no idea about surf, but is what the off voice sais.

Canary Bird · Sep 9, 2015

In looking at this image, my "guesstimate" is that the board is a 11", but maybe I am wrong ... it would fit in really tight if it is 11", but I'd guess it is unlikely that they actually did that for this ad ... and had a second "support van" with equipment & the surf board.

I think the ad will work for Spain.

I little irony is the 230V plug on the van in the ad. I hope to finalize my T6 order today and have the 230V plug as an option ... and the salesman made sure to tell me twice, "We have never had anyone in the Canaries order a Beach with the 230v plug!" Maybe people do it in mainland Spain or it is just because it is the German Cali driven down for the ad.

My Spanish Cali Beah has 230v inlet

What!?

What is de "serie" (came automatically with the Beach) or was it an option?

I want it for hooking up a fan, etc. when it gets real hot.

estresao · Sep 9, 2015

Nope, for the Spaniard spec T5 Beach the 230v inlet was an option (at least in 2014-15), but I've got it because the inner 230v outlet and the leisure battery charger.

Bear in mind in T5 Beach model this option doesn't provide inverter.

Everyone's use is so different ... mine is first a people mover, so I need 7 seats and it works like an office and we live on a hilly Island, so I went this time around with ... 150hp, 4Motion DSG, 17" wheels, Park pilot, tempomat, trailer hitch, 230v, voice amplifier, privacy windows, alarm, awning, fog lights, elec. folding side mirrors, air pressure sensor, ... and of course in yellow ... but some of these things might be standard equipment for you. It is hard to go wrong, but funds have to play a role.
