If you’re planning a trip to the Basque Country and want to learn how to surf, there’s no better place than Mundaka and no better coach than Mike. Everything you’re looking for in surfing — you’ll find it there. The beach and conditions are excellent, and Mike’s approach, attitude, and knowledge are truly invaluable.
We visited several other spots along the coast, but almost everywhere I felt a sense of commercialization and a superficial attitude toward tourists — except in Mundaka. Mike generously shares his extensive knowledge and experience, and his connection to surfing and the town clearly shows that this is his way of life, not just a job.
