Hi people,

At first I have to say that English is not my first languaje so I apologize for any fault while writing this post.

I am a bodyboarder from the Basque Country, and in September I'm living in Belfast for one year more or less (that's the reason I registered in this forum:)).



Our flag in the beatiuful cliffs of somewhere Ireland :)

The aim of this post is showing my country and its waves to you. I think that it's an unknown place for many people, and there are world-class waves very near to you (less than 2h by plane London-Bilbao). Water temperature goes from 12º in February to 21º in August, and the best swells are in the period between October-March.

So I will try to show you some of the waves that we have and some great places. :cool:

LA CENTRAL

Our best wave for bodyboarders. Very powerful and dangerous reef slab.

Powerful beachbreak, strong barrels. Mostly bodyboarders.



LA GALEA

Big wave, very dangerous reef wave, only experienced surfers.



SOPELANA

Big beach with many different waves, some years ago the IBA world tour stopped here.



MEÑAKOZ

Big and dangerous reef wave, only skilled riders.



I continue in the next post.

MUNDAKA

The best lefty wave in Europe. Awesome and heavy barrels. It's a dangerous wave due to its power, I do not recommend to newbies.









ZARAUTZ

Big beach with many different waves. All levels.



PLAYA GRIS

Big wave. Only crazy bodyboarders... :D



LA ZURRIOLA

Beachbreak in the beautiful city Donostia-San Sebastian.



And much more spots to discover... I hope you enjoy this post and do not hesitate to ask any question! I hope you all visit this land... I'm sure you'll love it!

Cheers!
