In the north, yeah. I've spent a total of 3 months here now, and no issues in the water. I know my place in the food chain. I've actually found the south (Spanish left in particular) more hectic.I suppose this happened in the north of the Island, correct? People come there and think that´s like the south, but it´s quite different, and there is strong localism there.
Also, lately surfing is getting very crowded, with a lot of people that don't know what they are doing in the lineup (no excuses for stabbing tires).
Crowds have been getting insane everywhere in Europe the past years, and way more vanlife guys on torqs in the water
