Surf Travel Gems For Kiwi Surfers

In recent years the whole dynamic of surf travel has evolved, and those in search of an overseas surf experience have begun to take gambles, search further afield, and look at the whole package experience of the adventure, rather than just the go-to book your flight and go score at the same old name spots that have delivered the goods to surf travellers for the last 40 years.

Now is the time where more and more new discoveries and off the beaten path spots have come across the radar. While nothing beats a good old kiwi summer, surf travel has traditionally always taken place during winter in an attempt to escape the cold weather and the barrage of winter surf conditions at home. Yet the tropics are not the only flavours anymore, some travellers are even wrapping up with as much rubber as they can find and hitting polar spots, sharing the lineups with chunks of ice. Whatever your catalyst for an overseas adventure is, surfing perfect waves, warm water, experiencing new cultures, food, and ways of life, soak it all up and take it in. Here we feature several regular and off the radar spots that are on the Kiwi travellers hit lists.
