4. 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…
5. 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.
6. 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…

7. 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!
8. 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…
9. 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.
10. 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… Credit: Tourism Queensland
11. 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.

12. 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…
13. 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.

14. 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…
15. 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
