Riding the Waves: A Week at Cantabria’s Premier Surf School

Drawn by the allure of Spain’s renowned surf culture, I embarked on a journey to Cantabria’s Playa De Somo. With its rich history and vibrant community, the Cantabrian Surf School promised an unforgettable experience.

Arrival at Playa De Somo

The moment I set foot on Playa De Somo, I knew I was in for a treat. The sun was shining, the waves were calling, and the vibe was just right. This wasn’t my first rodeo, but the anticipation of a new surf spot always gets my heart racing. The Cantabrian Surf School, with its rich history and reputation, was the perfect place to hone my skills and soak in the Spanish surf culture.

The beach itself was a sight to behold. Stretching for miles, it offered a variety of breaks suitable for all levels. As I walked along the shore, I couldn’t help but notice the camaraderie among the surfers. It reminded me of the tight-knit communities I’ve encountered in Central America. The school was bustling with energy, and I was eager to dive in.

The Surfing Experience

The instructors at the Cantabrian Surf School were top-notch. Their passion for surfing was infectious, and their expertise was evident from the get-go. Each day, we spent two hours in the water, refining our techniques and pushing our limits. The waves were consistent, offering the perfect playground for both beginners and seasoned surfers like myself.

What stood out to me was the personalized attention each student received. The instructors took the time to understand our individual goals and tailored their guidance accordingly. It was a refreshing change from the more commercialized surf schools I’ve encountered in the past. By the end of the week, I felt a renewed sense of confidence in my abilities and a deeper connection to the ocean.

Embracing the Cantabrian Lifestyle

Beyond the waves, Cantabria offered a rich tapestry of experiences. The local cuisine was a delightful surprise, with fresh seafood and traditional Spanish dishes that tantalized the taste buds. Evenings were spent exploring the charming coastal towns, each with its own unique character and charm.

The laid-back lifestyle of the region resonated with me deeply. It was a reminder of why I chose this nomadic path, chasing waves and writing about the carefree life of surfers. Cantabria, with its stunning landscapes and welcoming community, was a place I knew I’d return to. The week flew by, but the memories and friendships forged will last a lifetime.

For those looking to immerse themselves in the world of surfing, this surf course is a must-try. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a curious beginner, the Cantabrian Surf School offers an experience that’s both enriching and exhilarating. Until next time, keep chasing those waves!
