Lacken
Edit SpotAbout
Great breaks everywhere for those willing to search. Winter provides the best swells, but it is very cold. The temp. the days of the photos was 2 degrees celcius, with snow on the nearby hills. Bring every cold weather item you have, and then some...
Atmosphere:
Great surf all around this area, with breaks catering for different swell/wind direction. Don't piss off the locals, as pure surfing as it should be is still alive in this country! No assholes need attend.
