Inspiration for the perfect, Independent surfing holiday
Experience the romance of travelling with a surf board under your arm!
Anyone who has experienced the peace and calm behind an empty back break, with rollers crashing onto a stunning coastline beyond the front of your board will know the magic of a surfing holiday. Anyone who hasn't can be assured; the feeling is well worth discovering! Whether you have never touched a surf board or surfed the biggest surf beaches in the world, the right surf holiday will be unforgettable; and there are thousands to choose from!
If you are a beginner, practice is unfortunately the only way to work your way up to the famous surf beaches of Hawaii. Living in the UK, we get good surf conditions on any part of the English coast, but the most consistent and largest swells hit the coast of Cornwall. The UK's number one surf town, Newquay, is a great place to take surf lessons and go surfing in the UK. There is also some fantastic European surfing close by for those who like sunshine that lasts long into the evening, and by taking private accommodation on the beach, you are never far away if conditions become irresistible!

Surfing and travelling is an irresistibly stress free and enjoyable combination, but part of the fun of a surfing holiday is the adrenaline rush associated with adventure sports. As long as you listen to local advice, surf with a friend and are fit enough to swim through breaking water, your surfing holiday will be remembered as one of the most exciting, relaxing and reinvigorating of your life. The surfing beach is not the only important factor on a surf holiday. What you do with your evenings after surfing is a huge consideration, and if conditions are poor one day, you will want to know that there are plenty of things to do nearby.
