<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">Taghazout, Morocco, is a surfing oasis in the middle of a long,
rugged coastline that is inundated with waves. This ancient Berber encampment
became an outpost for European adventurers trekking into southern Morocco in
the 1960s. And throughout that same period, surfers “discovered” the region and
set up shop in Taghazout. Today, there are a lot of French and Spanish surfers
mingling with the native Moroccans and Berbers in what still feels like a frontier
town on the edge of the desert. The waves are almost always long-period ground
swells—which means great shape and plenty of power—and the winds consistently
blow offshore.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">Ireland, known among surfers as “Europe’s cold-water Indonesia”
should be on the bucket list of every surfer. And Bundoran should be the start
of any surfing adventure on the Emerald Isle. This centuries-old fishing
village catches just about any swell that steamrolls through the North Atlantic
and onto a smattering of beaches and reefs that suit different levels of
surfers.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

serving up national specialties such as Guinness and oysters to the tune of
traditional Irish music. “Bundoran is a town with many sides and the real
Bundoran can only be found with the help of the locals,” says Pete Craig,
surfer and owner of the outfitter Bundoran Surf Co. The main surfing beach is
Tullan Strand, but if you want to venture out, ask locals about the surrounding
reefs and beaches, which work on a variety of swells.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">With 4,655 miles of coastline and an increasingly surf-crazy
populace, Brazil is poised to become the next great epicenter of global surf
culture. Nowhere is this better exemplified than Brazil’s island capital of
surfing, Florianópolis, or Floripa, as the locals prefer. There are 42
different beaches to suit all surfing tastes, from the novice-friendly Barra Da
Lagoa to the heavier Joaquina Beach, where they sometimes hold professional
surfing competitions. The only thing more consistent than the Southern
Hemisphere swells is the nightlife. Expect to surf a lot of afternoons, because
the parties go late.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">In an entire continent of surf towns, Byron Bay stands out as
one of the spiritual and historical homes of surfing in what is, pound for
pound, perhaps the greatest surfing nation in the world. Despite a tendency
toward the upscale, Byron is at heart a hippie town that favors live bands,
relaxed cafes that source local ingredients, and plenty of “all natural”
everything. Combine that with the naturally cheerful disposition of many Aussies
and you won’t find better waves in a more pleasant setting anywhere in the
world.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The town’s main wave, the Pass, is a classic right-hand point
break that accommodates all levels of surfers, though it can get crowded on
good swells. Beginners should stay on the beach and more advanced surfers can
head south to Broken Head, which has great beach breaks and other classic
points.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

the area. They then bought the land and built a palace on the beach, which made
Biarritz one of the hottest resort towns in Europe. Screenwriter Peter Viertel

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Still considered the birthplace of European surfing, Biarritz is
a nice combination of French high culture and SoCal surf culture, putting a
decidedly surfy spin on the notion of joie de vivre. Start surfing on La Grande
Plage (the Big Beach) in front of the town center. If it gets too crowded,
local Cape Breton transplant David Hanguehard recommends checking out
surrounding beaches such as La Côtes des Basques, Anglet, and Guethary.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">When you think of wave-rich Pacific islands, Japan doesn’t
immediately jump to mind. It doesn’t have the consistency of Hawaii or the
death-defying reef breaks of Tahiti. But its west coast is home to hundreds of
miles of dark-sand beaches, and its craggy coastline hides reefs, points, and
river mouths for all level of surfers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">“My hometown, Shonan, is the birthplace of Japanese surfing,”
says professional big-wave surfer Takayuki Wakita. “Like many Japanese seaside
towns, it started out as a fishing town. But now it’s one of the capitals of
surfing for the entire country because the waves are good and it’s only an hour
away from Tokyo.” The change started in 1955, when the Japanese author Shintaro
Ishihara published</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><i>Season
of the Sun</i><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, about a group of Japanese teenagers
living in rich hedonism on the sands of Shonan. While it didn’t describe any
surfers, Wakita’s forefathers started riding waves soon after. Don’t expect
fish tacos and English surf slang in Shonan. Do expect hundred-year-old
temples, local festivals, and scenery right out of a Hokusai wood-block print.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Located in a country known for cold water, heavy waves, and
sharks, Muizenberg, South Africa, is an oasis of gentle rollers, friendly
locals, and beachside cafes. And don’t forget about the local wine. “Muizenberg
is the best ‘learn to surf’ beach in the world,” says Tim Conibear, founder of
Isiqalo, a Cape Town organization that teaches kids from low-income
neighborhoods to surf. “The attitude in the water is also super-mellow, with a
general acceptance of all watercrafts and abilities. Shark spotters keep you
safe, so you don't need to worry. For heavier waves, take a walk toward Kalk
Bay, where there's a serious reef. Danger Reef is also a little left-breaking
wave that's worth a stop.”</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Uruguayos prefer to fly below the radar, which is why you
probably didn’t know that their Atlantic coastline is one of the most pristine
and beautiful in the Americas. Although famous resort towns such as Punta del
Este have long been a haven for Argentine and European travelers, the rest of
the coastline is reserved for locals. La Paloma is a dusty little beach town
where Uruguayans go to surf, drink maté tea, and grill large hunks of grass-fed
beef over open flames.</span></span><br />

secrets—a place where Northeastern surfers could escape the coastal crush, surf
a variety of great waves by day, and drink with salty sea dog fishermen at
night. Since the Hamptons jet set has started to move in, things have changed a
bit, but thankfully, Montauk remains a sleepy fishing town at the end of the
Long Island Rail Road line—with just enough glamour from New York City to keep
things interesting.</span></span><br />

surf town in the world where you can surf great waves all day and rub shoulders
with movie stars on patio bars at night. When hurricanes or the much-loved

Eastern seaboard for a surfer.</span></div>

laid-back, understanding attitude. You don’t ever really get vibed here. You

surf towns, such as Huntington Beach, or even some towns on the East Coast.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

high-performance surfing known as New Smyrna Beach. The seasonal tourist center
is famous for its consistency and for its steep, wedging waves that break near
its inlet. They offer perfect ramps for aspiring East Coast professionals and
hot local talent to do all manner of trickery.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">Santa Cruz is a little town with a long surfing history. Its
marquee spot, Steamer Lane, was a proving ground for aspiring West Coast
big-wave riders in the 1950s. Men like Peter Cole, Ricky Grigg, and the Van
Dyke brothers rode giant winter swells here on wooden longboards—sans leashes
and wetsuits—in order to practice for the even more powerful waves of Hawaii.
It was this penchant for wintertime surfing that lead Jack O’Neill, who lost an
eye in an accident at the Lane, to develop the modern surfing wetsuit.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

this NorCal gem boasts a fantastic surfing museum and 11 surf spots, including

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">Most Hawaiian towns are surf towns, but none have the artsy,
eccentric vibe of Paia on Maui’s North Shore. What started as a sugarcane
boomtown is now a hangout for artists, surfers, and wind sport enthusiasts from
around the world. Although not known as a surfing mecca like Oahu’s North
Shore, partially due to the daily side-shore winds that shred the lineups most
afternoons, this actually works in favor of visiting surfers, according to local
pro surfer Zack Howard: “There are a lot of great surfers here, but in general,
the level is lower than in places like Oahu, and that means there are a lot of
waves for everyone.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Novices should check out Paia Bay. If you want to rub shoulders
with Maui’s elite, paddle out at Hookipa—just make sure your shoulders can
handle a workout, as it doesn’t break close to shore. If you happen to be in
town during a big winter swell, drive west down the Hana Highway and pull off
between mile markers 13 and 14. From the bluff you can watch an international
crew of big-wave hellmen tow into waves breaking over the outer reef known as
Jaws.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">The surfing world first learned about Raglan, or Whaingaroa as
it’s known in the local Maori language, when its empty, seemingly endless
left-hand point breaks were featured in Bruce Brown’s seminal surfing film,</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;"> <i>The
Endless Summer</i><span style="color: #333333;">. Although you can expect more of
a crowd in the lineup today than the</span> <i>Endless Summer</i> <span style="color: #333333;">boys encountered in 1966, the town itself is a throwback
to the golden days of surfing, according to Charlie Young, the director of the
Raglan Surfing School. “The old vibe still exists here,” he says. “People still
look out for each other.”</span></span><br />

between 40° and 49° south latitude that produces some of the strongest and most
consistent swells in the world) sends waves to setups that include the
beginner- to intermediate-friendly Ngarunui Beach and the more advanced but
absolutely classic Manu Bay. When you aren’t in the water, Young recommends
checking the avant-garde music and art scene, Maori crafts stores, and locally
sourced restaurants and markets.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
