Surf's Up! Where The Best Waves Are To "Hang 10"
Posted on: 28 February 2018
Surfers who truly love their sport make it a point to travel the world in search of the best waves. If you finally have enough surfing experience and the desire to surf all over the world, you might want to add some surfing hot spots to your list. The following list is just to get you started. Talk to other surfers to see where else you can go.
El Salvador
Many a surf resort El Salvador teach you not only how to surf, but where the best El Salvadoran beaches are. Since you already know how to surf, all you would have to do is book a room in one of the resorts, ask where you can rent a board, and which beach is the best beach for waves this time of year.
Huntington Beach, California
This is exactly where the surfing subculture in America sprung up. It is not the birthplace of surfing (that title belongs to Hawaii), but the whole surfing "cool dude" lingo and lifestyle came from here. After you surf the incredible waves on this beach, you will see why so many surfers converged onto this beach.
Southern Hawaiian Beaches
With the cooler Antarctic waters flowing upward and the hot tropical airs flowing downward, the waves on the southern ends of the Hawaiian islands produce some wicked waves for surfers who want a little challenge. If you want gentler waves, choose the ones to the north or east.
Australia
In a country where everyone goes to the beach on Christmas, you will find all kinds of waves to surf. This giant island nation has its own surfing heritage as well. Along with the beaches and surfing, you will no doubt find camaraderie in a few Aussie mates and fellow surfers.
Ireland
Wait--Ireland? Yes, it seems quite surprising, but there are some incredible waves along the coast of Ireland. Some provide quite the challenge to surf, as the waves roll into rocky shores. If you are up to it, and you are sure you can manage it, you will spot other experienced surfers there on a warm day.
Both the southeast and southwest coasts of Ireland have their share of waves. Some even have shallow shoals along the beaches for those not brave enough to tackle the bigger waves hitting the rocks a little ways off. Try Russnowlagh, County Donnegal, or Ballybunion, County Kerry.
If you decide to take a surfing lesson, focus on working with a trained instructor with years of experience.
