We made a weekend trip to Galicia. 4 days pretty cold; almost no wind; some snow :)

Day one: while we have been rigging up it was snowing – almost horizontal – till we have been to the water, there wasn’t sufficient wind left – so we couldn’t surf at beautiful Valdovino beach.

We have been to Ferrol (Praia do Xurxo, Praia do Valdovino), Laxe (Praia do Traba), Finisterre (Praia do Rostro) and Santiago de Compostela.

Last day at Traba: sideoff wind for more or less 5.3 and masthigh waves – it was incredible to ride these amazing waves!!!

sideoff was quite strange to ride – it’s so different for me, whilst I was always surfing side-  or sideon-shore.
