About Galicia
Galicia is located on the most Northwestern tip of mainland Spain. The stunning coastline is a bit rough around the edges sometimes, as pretty much every North Atlantic storm swell hits here first.
You will be staying in the region of the Rias Baixas, which is known for it’s mild micro climate, it’s marisocs (seefood) and Albariño (white wine). It is also know for it’s incredibly nice and welcoming people. Expect to be greeted in the line up and engaged in a friendly conversation.
Galicia's waves
Galicia has a lot of waves all along it’s 1.500km of coastline. You will be surfing on the Westcoast, home to a variety of different beachbreaks. Nestled in little bays there are sheltered waves to be found nearly every day, catering for every surf level.
Galicia's climate
In May, Galicia is normally showing off with all it’s weather facets. Days of sunshine, grey stormy days, and everything in between. May is pretty unpredictable so we always bring a bit of everything: tshirts, warm socks and a rain jacket.
Water temperature range from 16-18 degrees, comfortable surfable with a 4.3mm wetsuit.
We care about sustainability on our trips.
We strive to make our surf trips sustainable by working with local partners, promoting socio-cultural exchange, and minimizing our environmental impact.
We collaborate with local surf schools to support the local economy, engage in community events to foster cultural understanding, and ensure we leave every location better than we found it. We offset our carbon footprint through Sustainable Travel International and plant a tree for each participant at our headquarters in Fuerteventura, creating a direct, positive impact on the environment.

FAQs
When should I arrive in Santiago?
Please arrive in Santiago de Compostela at least one day prior to the trip. The meeting point will be announced shortly before the trip, and you will be picked up early in the morning. This way we can already get our first surf session in and are not effected by flight delays etc.
How much do we surf on this trip?
We plan with one surfcoaching session and a guided freesurf session every day. That’s if local conditions and arm power allows 😉
What is an intensive surfcamp?
On our intensive surfcamps it’s all about surfing. Two surf sessions a day (one coaching and one freesurf session) for a 14 days period will satisfy even the hardest surf addict.
Should I bring my own surfboard?
We do offer you a rental surfboard (included) on the trip. If you have your own surfboard, please consider taking it on this trip (stuff your boardbag with your clothes). This way you won’t loose a session (or two) adjusting to a new board. Knowing your surfboard can be a real confidence booster.
