Planning a Surfing Trip

• Stock up your Surfboard and Surfboard Wax. Think of it as your significant other when you go on a Surfing Trip; your entire trip is senseless without it and it has no purpose without you. You can bring your favorite board with you and it wouldn’t hurt for a spare board to tag along. You might need a different board for different waters and waves.


• Wear Surfing Clothes and use a board leash.


• Never underestimate the crowd. You should always consider the number of surfers; if the beach you’re going to is popular, it’s most likely that there will be a lot of surfers especially during peak season. What’s the point of having good waves if you can’t ride them? You also have to consider other water users in the beach. If possible, avoid surfing during the peak season.


• Prepare your repair kit. You’ll never know when you need some quick fix. If you’re going to a crowded place with a lot of Surfing shops where you can get basic repair tools, then you have nothing to worry about. But just to be sure, pack your own kit with you. You might have spontaneity attacks during the trip and head for another beach; it’s best that you have your own stash.


• Find old (and new) friends. While Surfing is of course an individual water sport, there’s nothing better than riding the waves with your good ol’ buddy. Others prefer going on Surfing Trips alone and make Surfing buddies in the beach. Either way, it’s best to have someone provide you with good Surfing company and a little healthy competition.
