New Zealand




New Zealand

Tooo many spots.. hundreds of them.. sandy, reef or rocky.. for all tastes
and it gets a lot of swell, with cold water though and some natural dangers.

But it looks like surf is everywhere down there.

The Golf and Pavones area - Costa Rica










Meet the wildlife surfing in Costa Rica.. The famous Pavones point and its surrounds show up with some long-lined-waves that can be easily seen from the satellite. Need a 4x4 and maybe a GPS and you'll surf alone for sure, or maybe with some crocodiles or sharks dividing the lineup. That's CR style, rounded rocks point breaks in the active Pacific ocean with perfect waves.

Aloha to my bro Rodrigo that has been there already.




Mar del Plata - Argentina





Mar del Plata - Argentina

Many point breaks can be seen... Looks to be load of surfing in this region and it works best with East swell, but it may be not too common.

Cold water and some longboard points.

The video show some long waves...

Sand Spit - Santa Barbara - CA



Sand spit - Santa Barbara - CA - USA

Looks like man-made sandy bottom point break. Famous spot in California with an amazing and crowded right hander.

Tube riding all the way.

Lennox Heads - Australia




Lennox Heads - Australia


Doesn't look too lined up like other spots.. Cannot see clear lines via Google Earth. But it looks to be the spot due to the rocks in the shore. Maybe not the right swell direction.




Arica - Chile





Arica - Chile

This used to be an "island".. The spot is the now world-famous rocky point break "El Gringo", where the WCT pro's think twice before dropping in.
Very rocky and shallow waters, a perfect tube riding.. into "La tuberia"..

On the righ corner there is a left-hander point break called "La Isla".

Perfect Chile.

Huanchaco - Peru

A know spot close to Puerto Chicama, never been there but the sattelite doesn't lie, perfect lefts pumping on that coast...

Ilot Sanchot - Mauritius

"The third known surfing spot is located approximately 15 km south of Le Morne in the Riviere des Gallet in front of the small island Ilôt Sancho. This spot is also not suited for beginners because of the strong current and the shallow water over the riff.
On the Ilôt Sancho there is given local surf competition sponsored by Billabong and Quicksilver once a year in November or December where you can look at Mauritius best surfers." (from http://www.mauritius-guide.net/water-sports/)
