With love for surfing
The enjoyable atmosphere that includes the sunshine, the beach, and warm water adds to the fun. Surfing is an individual sport, which means it’s just you and the wave. Surfing is like meditation and even therapy for some as they paddle up to the wave and find themselves on top of a natural element, a wave.
About Bilbao
With a mild climate, abundance of sunshine and central location among a 125-mile stretch of Europe’s best surf, Bilbao is the Basque Country’s largest and de facto surf city. With their golden sand, cliff-backed, beach breaks and penchant for nudity, the nearby beaches are a model of year-round consistency. Fall is when the Basque Country really turns on,but there are waves in Spring and Winter, as well. And in the Summer time, it’s one of the few places in Europe that still gets surf.

This is a highly-dangerous surf location only for experienced surfers. Its waves only start breaking just below two metres and often reach heights of six metres and above. There are sharp rocks here and strong rips so you need to be extra careful when surfing. Besides this, if you are a high-level surfer, why wouldn’t you want to surf Europe’s largest waves?

Why surfing?
When you’re out on the waves surfing, you’ll use every body part. You might even discover muscles that you didn’t even know existed. You’ll benefit from surfing by gaining muscle tone and strength.

Afterward, you’ll realize it was a workout, but the pain from working out is a good pain, which means that you had an excellent surf session.
