SANTA CRUZ - California

With more breaks than you’ve got fingers and toes there’s pretty much everything on offer for all levels of surfer.

There’s beginner level waves at Capitola Beach to offshore 20ft+ monsters at the world renowned Mavericks.

Localism is rampant and numerous breaks are dominated by aggressive surfers who aren’t backwards in letting you know you’re in the wrong place !!

One thing Santa Cruz does have tho, is a bunch of “secret spots” to match the everyday crowded ones. If you’re up for a bit of a drive and a walk there are a bunch of breaks along either hwy out of town.

Arica - North Chile

Located way up the top of Chile, amongst a bloody big desert is the bustling coastal town of Arica.

Surrounded by some of the most insane reef breaks in the region – lefts and rights grinding over some serious reef outcrops offered up enough punch for Ripcurl to hold a “Search’ event there back in 2007.

Described after the first day of competition as “a grunty, jacking horseshoe; an R-rated wave out of a Tarantino movie, more likely to introduce Grindhouse-style carnage than deliver soft-sand perfection” the wave known as the Chilean Pipeline is becoming ever more popular.

Check the pics and the vid and decide for yourselves !!

Noosa Heads - Queensland, AUS

A destination for many if not all surfers on the eastern sea board of Oz !

Noosa has 9 premium surf spots all within a stones throw of each other. Starting at the north end of the beach and the aptly named North Shore and heading south you’ll find a river mouth, points and bays till you get to the south side of the headland and Sunshine Beach.

The place has waves for all sorts of boards and can hold a fair bit of size, there’s sandy beach breaks and rocky sand covered points that can offer up rides to a couple hundred meters if all the elements align.

Unlike the Gold Coast further south, Noosa still holds that small beach town feel even tho prices these days are getting a bit steep. Definitely worth a visit on your log, alai, short board, longboard, fish, retro egg, surfmat, simmons or even a macca’s tray !!
