Surfing is cool. It’s funky. It’s different. And it’s not just for Californian stunners who look natural standing on a wooden board in the middle of the ocean.

So, if you fancy getting in on the action, and read about catching green waves, you definitely need to put these locations on your holiday to do list:

Pipeline, Oahu, Hawaii
Hawaii is the home of surfing. Don’t you dare contemplate finishing a surfing holiday without heading here.

Bundoran Beach, Co. Donegal
Europe’s best surf spots is right on our doorstep. Yay!

Supertubes, Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa
Here you will find the craziest of all waves with the highest walls of water. This is not for the beginner or the faint hearted. Yikes!

Black Beach, San Diego, California
Strong currents, powerful break points – this is not for those who scare easily.

Hossegor, France
Not only will you catch a pretty good wave, you might even bump into someone rich and famous.

Now all we need to do is learn the lingo – gnarley!
