Eigentlich ist Meñakoz im Baskenland nicht gerade ein “happy place”, gerade wenn man sich die Sportbeschreibung bei MSW durchliest:

World-class, highly dangerous big-wave spot. One of the most powerful regularly-surfed waves in Europe. Starts breaking properly at about 12 foot. Hazards include razor-sharp rocks, very strong rips, shifting peaks, two-wave hold-downs, broken boards and broken bones. 

The locals won’t tolerate people inexperienced in big waves. No tow-ins here either. Picturesque amphitheatre-like setting, ideal for watching the surf. Parking at top of hill. No facilities on the beach, but close to Sopelana where there are shops and a campsite.

In diesem Clip schaut es jedoch mehr als entspannt aus, aber das mag auch an der netten Musik liegen….
