Malpica
Malpica de Bergantiños is a traditional Galician village that although it has lost some of its charm by the buildings that have been built on the facade of the village in front of the sea still retains many beautiful corners and is a must for any surfer who passes through the Galician coast.
In the beach bars have wifi and you can park right in front of the beach in the center or in a parking lot at the end of the beach that is perfect for sleeping in the van or motorhome. Surfers are always welcome in Malpica.
It is recommended to visit the ‘Casa do Mar’ which has murals by the Galician painter Urbano Lugrís.
Intermediate Level
The two fundamental moves in surfing—the bottom-turn and the cutback—are what make a surfer at this level. On a shoulder-high wave, an Intermediate surfer is able to tilt the board and launch themselves without incident. The bottom-turn, which is surfing’s primary turning maneuver, is regarded as the sport’s foundational move since it allows for riding waves with an open face. The cutback is the second most crucial turn. It enables the surfer to avoid getting caught in the slowest region, known as the “shoulder of the wave,” and return to the wave’s energy source. An intermediate surfer knows how to duck dive, maintain a linear trajectory on the surf line, and how to bail out without hurting himself and others in the process. In addition, an intermediate level surfer knows how to read surf reports and plan his session(s) in advance.
