The act of riding waves is inherently exploratory. Surfers enter into the vast unknown that is the open ocean, seeking a few seconds of thrill sliding across the water’s surface. But an adventurous spirit is rarely satisfied. Inquiring minds wonder what’s around the next corner, how the sandbar down the road is breaking. Eventually, we expand this search across the globe, traveling by way of land, sea, and air in the quest for the next best wave. Like any seeker of new destinations, surfers require certain tools of the trade for travel. The idea of toting a surfboard across the globe can be daunting, not to mention all of the over provisions you will need for a successful trip. When it comes to globetrotting, practice makes perfect and there is no alternative to experience. This is why we’ve conferred with our resident experts to compile this surf travel guide.
