Secrets of Surf Travel

Surf travel is modern-day treasure hunting.

Real surf travel. Real waves. Real adventures.

For decades I’ve chased waves around the world — from Baja and mainland Mexico to Central America, Southeast Asia, and remote corners of Indonesia.

Surf travel rarely goes according to plan. Roads end. Boats break down. Storms move in. Directions are wrong. Sometimes you’re sleeping on a toolbox in the back of a truck or riding through the jungle on the roof of a packed bus, ducking branches while holding onto ropes that keep the boards and chicken cages tied down.

Most people dream about surf travel but hesitate because the unknown feels intimidating. My approach has always been the opposite: go first, figure it out along the way.

This channel documents the adventure of exploring unfamiliar coastlines, finding waves, meeting local guides and businesses, and gathering the knowledge that helps others plan great surf trips.

Because the crazier it gets, the better the stories later.
