Visitor reviews of Playa de Somo surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“Los locales mayores peludos y gordos que van de pros por la vida con la edad que tienen (cincuentas)ya podrian aprender modales. Miradas de perros cuando has pedido disculpas por saltar una ola que ni siquiera llegaban. Menos mal que son unos poquitos solo. La humildad no la conocen ni en pintura
Los niñatos y niñatas q llevan 2 añitos en el surf remando con cara de Slaters tambien me ponen nervioso. El surf da asquito y llevo mas de la mitad de mi vida en él. A pasarlo bien señores, que ésto es un deporte sano. Las gilipolleces para el futbol.”
