Where is the best surfing spot you've ever been to? Beyond the Usual Break.

1. Gilded Age Barrels

Ruggles, Newport, Rhode Island, USA

A powerful, challenging reef break here churns directly in front of opulent Gilded Age mansions, creating a surreal contrast.

2. Fjord Surfing in Viking Lands

Hoddevik, Stadlandet, Norway

This serene bay, framed by dramatic fjords, offers surprisingly consistent waves in waters once navigated by Vikings.

3. Oil Town Lefts

Lobitos, Piura, Peru

Surfers ride perfect left-hand barrels past rusting oil derricks, remnants of a bygone petroleum boom that transformed this remote fishing village into a near ghost town.

4. Celtic Swells

Bundoran, County Donegal, Ireland

The powerful waves here crash against a rugged coastline steeped in ancient Celtic mythology, near landmarks like the legendary 'Fairy Bridges'.

5. Wind City Waves

Essaouira, Morocco

This ancient port city, famous for its blue boats and UNESCO-listed medina, is constantly buffeted by winds that create ideal conditions for both surfing and kiteboarding.

6. Jungle Howlers and Pacific Rollers

Playa Maderas, San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

Howler monkeys often watch from the jungle canopy as surfers ride consistent waves on volcanic sands, a short distance from active volcanoes and vibrant colonial history.

7. Volcanic Islet Right

Isla de Lobos, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain

This tiny, uninhabited volcanic island, a natural park, boasts a famously long right-hand wave that breaks over a lava reef, accessible only by boat.
