Introduction
Have you been feeling the surfing itch? Have you been looking to get away and use that adventure gear that has been sitting beside your computer case? Every surfer knows what it is like to surf their local break, but there are few and far moments between getting a chance to paddle out at one of the premier spots in the world.

We are about to tell you about the most beloved surf spots in the world…

Cloud Nine – Philippines
It is called cloud nine for a reason, being ranked among the top reef breaks in the world. It rests on the edge of a deep oceanic trench on Siargao Island. The waves are heavy, hollow, and cascade above razor sharp coral. Place some extra band-aids in your packing kit.

Mundaka - Espana
Mundaka is the pearl of European surfing. It offers a long lefts sprouting from Mundaka’s river mouth. The sandy bottom shapes picture-perfect barrels during its optimal moments. October and on presents surf up to ten feet plus. Don’t bother to pack your luggage with too many clothes – your board shorts and a stick of wax will do just fine.

Jeffreys Bay – South Africa
J-bay is like an amusement park for those who feel an affinity towards surf. It is a right hand point comprised of seven distinct spots. This surf haven is so spectacular, that it attracts professional ASP events. If you are going during the summer, don’t forget to stuff your camera in your leather luggage, you might just find a chance to take a shot with Slater or the Irons brothers.

Raglan - New Zealand
Raglan is the pride of New Zealand. The spot is separated into three smaller spots: Indicators, Whale, and Manu Bay. Visit this spot during the right conditions (southern swell with SE winds), and you will not need the plane back – put your stuff in your daypack and take peeling, never-ending lefts all the way home.

Superbank - Australia
The advent of the Superbank came in 2002. Sand pumped from the Tweed Rivermouth started filling in gaps to form one, long sand bank. Swells are usually consistent, tube rides are long, and excitement levels are high. Make sure to get comfortable during your flight, you are going to want to save your energy.

Tavarua - Fiji
Not only does Tavarua offer world-class waves, but it also host an excellent resort for those seeking exclusive lodging- so don’t be hesitant to bring the spouse and let the little ones utilize their luggage. The break actually rests a long distance from the island itself, so you will need to take a boat ride to catch some waves.

Grajagan – Indonesia
Wave enthusiasts argue that G-land is the most fun and consistent left barrel in the world. It is nestled in the SE tip of Grajagan National Park (an overnight boat ride from Bali). For those desiring some right hand rides, other nearby spots such as Reverse G will deliver what you are looking for.

Lance’s Right – Indonesia
Lance’s Right is just about as hard to reach as it is to surf. Make sure you load your name brand luggage for some extra time. Tucked away in the Mentawai Islands, the spot sometimes called Hollow Trees, is a menacing right rippling over shallow coral reef. Don’t be thrown off by the pro’s smiles in the magazines, this spot is no laughing matter.

Teahupoo – Tahiti
Pronounced “Cho-poo,” this is one serious spot. Gaining national attention in the 90s, Teahupoo is feared by seasoned riders and professionals alike. On bigger days, the walls can get as big as multi-storied houses. Those without experience need not apply.

Pipeline – Hawaii
The crowned king of all surf spots, Pipeline churns big and intensely hard. You can drive a truck through Pipeline’s barrels that crash above super shallow waters hosting jagged reefs. “Banzai” is the best spot on the North Shore and arguably the entire planet.
