Oahu – Hawaii
What can we say about surfing in Hawaii that Oahu isn’t already famous for? The capital of the Hawaiian archipelago, Honolulu, is situated on the south of the island and to the west is the historic Pearl Harbour. Check out the Ala Moana Bowls, or the Banzai Pipeline for big waves, especially in wintertime. Sunset Beach is revered by professionals for its giant waves. Sandy Beach offers chilled surf on an easy swell, clear water, and strong-but-tame waves, an ideal spot for all levels.

Pohnpei is the most developed of the 600 islands in the FSM and boasts amazing reefs, lagoons, and numerous surfing spots and each one will take your breath away. Surf spots are located on off-shore reef breaks, that are shallow on the inside, so you will need some experience to ride here.
California, United States of America
With nearly all-year-round swells, less in summer, California is a great location to surf. From beginners beaches like Cowell’s in Santa Cruz and Zuma’s in Malibu to the top spots like The Wedge in Newport or Pismo Beach Pier, there is a beach to surf whatever level you are.
Hossegor, France
Stretching for 3km, this length of the beach has four very different surf spots. Capbreton is known for its very fast barreling shore breaks, Les Culs Nus sets apart Seignosse’s beach breaks from the famous Hossegor Tubes at La Gravière.
Southern Oaxaca, Mexico
The wave-rich beaches are what surfers come to Oaxaca for, especially for its dangerously heavy waves. The swells change on a daily basis, some days will have poor waves while others will boast crazy monsters.
Siargao, Philippines
The most popular spot in Siargao is Cloud 9 and right next to it is the Quicksilver break, with its right-hand wave. Rock Island, Daku Reef, and Stimpy’s are also good spots to catch a wave.
North Male, Maldives
While the southern atoll of Male has harder to reach breaks, North Male is the best region to surf in the Maldives. With an even mix of left and right-hand waves and names like Pasta Point and Jailbreaks were already known internationally.
