Mexico, cheep beer and great waves

Or southern Cali, both are tempting.

Maldives with my son (when he's old enough)

I'd actually just like to be good enough to surf some of the classic breaks around me.


Although the travel bucketlist is endless

Both are full of yanks unless your willing to do massive hikes to places no one can be arsed getting to....saying that you can still camp right on the beach in most places and its relitavly safe.

I would like to go in no particular order :

West coast of Africa in a yacht
Hawaii
Adaman Island
Peru
Costa Rica
Japan
Korea
Kangaroo Island
Tasmania
Easter Island
Brazil

Places I have already ticked of the list are
Indo
Fiji
Morrocoo
France
Spain
Ireland
Scotland
The UK
Chanel Islands
Porugal
West Coast of USA
West Coast of Mexico
South Africa

I'm trying to get to NZ this year, working on a drive-through type adventure for the wife's 40th!!! She's keen and I have a nephew currently working for Peter Jackson's film company, things are lining up

Enjoy. When are you planning on going? Feel free to PM me with any questions......

The remains of my top list are J-Bay, Hawaii, Southern Mexico, Sri Lanka, Caroline Islands, NW WA and El Salvador. In June one of these will be gone. I have a secondary list which includes places that I have been to before and would like to go back - includes some favourites like Chile, Peru, Indo, France, Fiji, Spain and Ireland.

Tux - when were you there? We must have almost crossed paths! I was 95-99 then 2002/03. I sued to love sending money home at $3.00 plus to the pound!!!

Hey Ted was there in 95/96 and did a return bout 99-2004...the pound and Ryanair were the nuts...plus it was pre 9/11 so if you were getting any cash you could use it air tickets without any rasied eyebrows....did you surf much over there? We found some magic spots on the Isle of Wright and up near Newcastle of all places...

trigg point

but i'm never going to

Yeah we found some surprisingly nice waves up that way as well....bloody cold though. Scotland was also a happy hunting ground. Spent loads of w/e's down in Cornwall and Devon - used to go to Bude a lot as it was closer to home (London). Isle of Wight is a good spot - did my paragliding license down there but never surfed. A good mate lived down the south coast in Dorset and always claimed he got good waves but we never got many when we visited!

Like yourself we spent most of our time and cashola on the cheap airfare gig going to France, Spain and Portugal with a few trips to Morrocco and the Canaries. Hossegor was a personal favourite and I spent a disproportionate amount of time there as a result. It was quicker and cheaper to go there than Cornwall....go figure!! I would love to go back and spend 3 or 4 weeks there in late Sept / Oct.
