Surfing Programs Abroad

There are hundreds of amazing beaches for surf tours, but here are our top picks to travel and hang ten:

Indonesia. First stop on the list: Bali. Known for its forests and volcanic mountains, beaches, and coral reefs, you’ll not only catch worthy waves, but also have great views while you do it. Make your way to the top beaches including Uluwatu, Canggu, Kuta, and Nusa Dua on your surf holidays.

Australia. Next on the list is the Land Down Under! This may seem like an obvious pick, but with close to 23,000 miles of surfable coastline blessed with point breaks and coral reefs, it’s a wave-rider's paradise. Start in the east on the Gold Coast, a region south of Brisbane—famous for its surfing adventures, and beaches large enough to house all of the surfers it attracts. It has one of the most famous point breaks in the world, creating barrel after barrel of waves.

Home to glorious beaches and coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific oceans, your surf adventure in Costa Rica can only be described one way: cowabunga! Expect big waves at Naranjo Beach and the river-mouth point break at Potrero Grande or Ollies Point.
