Added on: 1st Jul 2015

 

RIYUEWAN, SANYA, HAINAN, CHINA

China is not exactly known for its beaches nor surfing, but a gigantic

island on its southern tip offers untouched tropical beaches with

consistent un-crowded waves. For beginners, locals from Hainan can

guide you to the best spot such as the Riyuewan Bay or other lesser-known

locations. You can also recharge your body after surfing by eating fresh

fish from the day’s catch cooked in spicy Hainan-style at the local cafe.

 

 

CLOUDBREAK, TAVARUA ISLAND, FIJI

The Tavarua Island off Fiji is a heart-shaped island that can offer

something for everyone including the hard core surfer to waddling

toddlers. However, Cloudbreak is exclusively for hard core surfers only

as this is a brutal wave that can form up to 1,600 metres off the coast.

It can hold up to 500 metres and reaches 10 meters in size.

 

 

JOE’S POINT, SUR, OMAN

The Middle East is still very much unexplored when it comes to surfing

destinations. However Oman, which has a long stretch of coast that

faces the desert on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other,

boasts miles of breaks that are waiting to be ridden. Joe’s Point, which

is perfect for beginners and professional surfers alike, has a sand bar

to the right and rock bottom to the left that offer rides that can last for

40 seconds. You need not even worry about the climate as the

temperature at Oman is often in the low 30s while the water is at a

comfortable 25°C even when neighbouring Dubai is hitting 45°C.

 

 

WATERGATE BAY, CORNWALL, ENGLAND

While Watergate Bay is less popular than Fistral Bay, surfers are drawn

to its English charm because it is less crowded and has waves that can

range from 30 centimetres to three metres. After surfing, you can relax

at a bistro on the beach and dine on delicious steaks and

locally-sourced fish.

 

 

RINCON, PUERTO RICO

This once-sleepy Puerto Rican town was made famous by surfing,

though there is still an opportunity to get barrelled with the locals.

After a 10-minute walk past a famous green hill, you will find the

perfect spot to spy on the best surf. You can go to Rincon by

flying to San Juan or a flight to Rafael Hernandez or

Eugenio Maria De Hostos Airport, and then go cross-country

to Rincon.

 

 

WHITE BEACH, OKINAWA, JAPAN

With the only sandbars in the region, this is the perfect and most

suitable fun spot for everyone who wants to practice or train how to surf.

This is the reason why it is usually packed during the weekends.

After practicing, head off and move on to epic nearby reef breaks

such as the Aha-Yoko or Suicide Cliffs once you have perfected

the technique.

 

 

LES CAVALIERS, ANGLET, FRANCE

This killer wave was named ‘Les Cavaliers’ for a reason. Les Cavaliers

is bordered by two rocky girders, so you can use the channel at the

right-hand side and paddle into the killer wave. This works perfectly

during offshore winds with west swells. If you are a tourist, stay out of

the local’s way as they can be uncharacteristically aggressive if

you dare steal their waves.

 

 

TOFINO, VANCOUVER ISLAND, CANADA

This is the surfing capital of Canada that offers fun, picturesque breaks

on the west coast of the island. Surrounded by a looming rainforest,

it is suitable for all abilities if you are not too particular with the

chilly weather. Do bring thick wet suits though, just in case.
