Playa Dominical, Costa Rica

Located around 30 miles south of Manuel Antonio National Park on Costa Rica’s central pacific coast, it’s a great place to avoid the crowds. It’s a small, laid back town with a relaxed atmosphere and great nightlife…

Playa Dominical, Costa Rica

… you couldn’t ask for more beauty; rugged, unspoiled coastline fringed with pristine rainforest and the impressive Talamanca mountain range providing a back drop. Surf is great all year round with the major swell season running April - October.

Mavericks, California

This surf spot is off the coast of Pilar Point in northern California. Its a winter surf destination for very experienced surfers only, many competing in the invitation-only big wave competition held every winter…

Mavericks, California

… here the winter waves regularly top 10m and after a storm in the northern pacific can tower in at over 20m!

These mammoth breaks are caused by a freak underwater rock formation – not for the faint hearted!

Waikiki, Hawaii

The home of surfing - Waikiki is pretty commercialised but the reasons it became popular still exist: sunshine, clear water and great waves. With great surfing year- round it’s ideal for novices and experts alike…

Waikiki, Hawaii

… Hawaii is home to scores of other great surf beaches. In winter, northern beaches experience massive waves generated by storms in the north pacific, whereas tropical summer storms in the south pacific guarantee the southern beaches get pretty good swell too.

Surfers Paradise, Australia

So named with good reason: great weather year-round, warm water, miles of unbroken beaches and great surfing suitable for every skill level…

Surfers Paradise, Australia … the beaches are protected by surf nets so you can be confident you won’t be sharing the waves with any men in grey suits (surf speak for sharks!).

When the surfing’s over for the day, there’s great nightlife to enjoy all along the Gold Coast.

Bell’s Beach, Australia

Often referred to as the home of Australian surfing, it was famously featured in the film Point Break, in which Patrick Swayze’s ultimate ambition is to surf the giant waves at Bell’s Beach…

Bell’s Beach, Australia

… 90 minutes from Melbourne, Bell’s Beach is a top destination for experienced surfers, where swells from the southern ocean steepen and slow over the shallow reef to produce exceptional surf.

It also plays host to the Bell’s Beach Surf Classic, held around Easter time every year since 1961.

Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa

Located on South Africa’s beautiful garden route around an hour south west from Port Elizabeth, Jeffrey’s Bay is one of the most famous surfing destinations in the world. Storms from the Antarctic coupled with the geography of the bay create one of the longest and fastest right hand break points in the entire world…

Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa

… Jeffrey’s Bay also plays host to the annual Billabong Pro ASP World Tour surfing event every July, attracting surfers and spectators from all over the world.
