Surfing in Asturias: beautiful landscapes. Small waves.
Somewhere near Luarca, Spain – I finally got some waves this morning. Small, glassy and kinda fun.
Unfortunately, it was also bloody freezing. I only have a 3/2 wetsuit, good enough down to about 18C. I suspect its colder because in between sets I was laying on my board with my hands and feet up out of the water like a sky diver, trying to stop them going numb.
It worked, sort of. I could almost feel my surfboard under my feet when I stood up.
I also packed both my surfboard and Mum (she got the front seat) into the car and headed all the way west to Tapia de Casariego, Asturias’ surf city. They have a WQS surfing contest here each Autumn so I thought if anywhere was going to have waves, it would be here.
Unfortunately, it didn’t. Neither did the beach further west near Villadun. But it had potential. And they were both very pretty parts of the world.
Hey mate! I stumbled upon your blog while googling for “backpack Cambodia”. I would love to speak to people who have done that before as i will be going there in July. Get back to me:
