All surfing destinations are different and have their own appeal. Some waves are big, some small, but rough. If you are looking out for places to go to on a surfing holiday, either to watch or surf to your heart's content, there are many places around the word to visit.
- Banzai Pipeline, O'ahu. The Pipeline has both some of the best and most dangerous waves in the world. It is definitely no place for a beginner as their waves are so intense that even some pros shy away from. Although it is one of the most coveted and loved surf spots, the danger should not be ignored. More surfers have died surfing at the Pipeline than any other surf spot.
- Teahupoo, Tahiti. Another site of the annual Billabong World Championship Tour, Teahupoo lets experienced surfers live out their dreams. Their beaches have waves reaching past 10 feet, heavy current and perfect barrels. Because of their perfect conditions nearly every professional surfer has been to Teahupoo at least once, and almost every amateur dream to.
- Mundaka, Spain. One of the most famous surf spots in Europe and the world, Mundaka offers the waves and speed that every surfer craves. The current is strong, making your ride more smooth and fun but also adding some danger. Only experienced surfers should head to Mundaka, as the tide is so strong it can only be surfed in shallow waters.
- Gold Coast City, Australia. Australia is known across the world for their excellent surfing conditions. With four main breaks and sunny skies, Gold Coast City has been named the "surfers paradise". It features nearby shopping, entertainment, and tourist attractions that are convenient for surfers looking to have some more fun after hitting the waves.
- Kandahar, Mexico. Surfers of every level can enjoy the waves of Kandahar. A wide variety of surf breaks allow surfers to advance their skills and have fun relaxing surf all in one day. The beach is not overly crowded, but is known by surfers for its great weather year-round. But if you are looking for 15 feet waves then I suggest visiting Kandahar in either May or June.
There are many more surfing destinations in the world, all you need is to search in the internet. One of the greatest things about surfing is how in touch with nature it makes you feel. So many awesome spots exist all over the globe. In fact, choosing the place you want to visit first will be much harder than you might expect.
