Hey There,

Check around for some specials to Hudhuranfushi in the maldives. A little bit more expensive than bali but perfect for familys and very nice. Went there about 4 yrs ago with my partner and she reckons its one of the best holidays shes been on. I got to surf averyday with no complaints.

You can surf outfront with a big deck for the family to relax and watch. They have boats that go out to other breaks a few times a day for about 3 hrs as well. A great sandy lagoon on otherside of island for swimming.

Is a bit more but im sure the missus will love it.

Sri Lanka is a good option. I just went there with the girl and she loved it. I'm pretty sure you can pick up return flights for mid $700 from perth. Beachside accom from under $10aus with better deals out of euro holidays. Head to Aragum Bay or Unawatuna (waves at either depending on time of year). I just use a private driver or tuk tuk to get around.

Friend of mine is going on a surfing holiday to Lombok (Indo) with his wife. Good waves, cheap, check it out.

I just got back from a holiday on Plantation Island in Fiji, not too expensive, heaps for the wife and kids to do, and Wilkes passage and Cloud break only a short boat ride away every day. There was no aggro there at all, everyone was really chilled out, We got chased off Cloudbreak though, well not really, just asked to move on after a couple of hours by a big guy on a jetski.
In the afternoon the trades came up and there is some great kiting to be done on a sandbar bout one kilometer in front of the resort,gotta love Fiji.

What was the deal with being asked to move on ? were tow surfers going out for a session ?

The resort has exclusive rights to the break and have had for a considerable time though this could possibly change
