Surfing is one of those sports that is fun whatever age or skill level you are. I mean you get to spend the whole day down the beach for starters and if you’re any good you might even catch some waves! The thing that makes surfing that little bit more enjoyable, apart from you cool animal clothing of course, are the great destinations around the world you can visit to practise your passion.

5. Starting in Central America El Salvador offers some great surfing locations. The reason that El Salvador is so popular is because it is usually less crowded than other famous surfing destinations.

You will get the best swell during the rainy season between March and October.

2. Bali is a legendary destination not only for its surfing but also its natural beauty. An island Bali is the biggest tourist attraction in Indonesia. There are decent swells of around 12ft for most of the year between April and November but expect to get hassled by people trying to sell you souvenirs and trinkets.
