Welcome to San Sebastian. Very few coast lines in Europe can offer what the inspiring Basque city holds for you : a decent surf break surrounded by one of the surf world’s most exciting cities with world-famous tapas bars and unbeatable culture mixing centuries of history-rich evolution and modern art & venues. When you think of San Sebastian, a.k.a Donostia in Basque, try to imagine how your typical summer day would end…

‘Welcome to San Sebastian’ takes us through town on a typical summer day, with local 17-year-old Billabong team rider Iara Dominguez, Junior pro contender and talented snowboarder… From her favorite surf store to a local Basque tour competition and free surf, night bike rides & tapas, Iara reminds us all why our beloved surf culture can only thank San Sebastian for welcoming us, season-in season-out…

Only a surfer knows the feeling, but everyone is welcome to San Sebastian, Basque Country.
