Are you fed up with the crowds and the terrible waves at your local beach? Do you dream about surfing some uncrowded reef break like the ones you see on DVD? Do you long to go on a surfing safari, just you and a few good buddies? If you said yes to any of those questions, it is now the time for you to get away and take a surf travel vacation.
Ask yourself what is stopping you. Is it really the money? Once you have paid for your airfare, you can live for a few dollars a day and have the best barrels in the world at your doorstep in Bali. Imagine waking up every morning and heading down to Uluwatu for your morning surf instead of to your local break.
For just a few bucks you can take a boat to nearby Nusa Lembongan and surf there, too. Lembongan is famous for its right hand reef breaks. These, as you probably know, are rare in Indonesia.
With Bali as your basecamp, you have access to all of the waves in Indonesia. One of the best waves on the planet is on Java, just a stone throw from Bali: GLand
GLand, as you well know, is one of the best waves in the world. Go there between June and September and you could be getting barreled all the way from Money Trees to Speedies. That is over 200 yards of pure adrenaline pumping speed. There are now very good facilities at GLand, so you will not be sleeping in the trees with the tigers like they did back in the sixties.
For the ultimate surfing adventure, get a bunch of your buddies together and charter a boat. You can sail from Fiji to the Maldives and have the ultimate surfing adventure. You will surf fabled reefs and unknown reefs. There are little dots on the sea that have waves to rival anything you have seen on a DVD and you and your mates can have them all to yourselves. The price of the boat will not be cheap, but between all of you, it will be affordable.
What is it that is holding you back? Is it money? Is it the fear of the unknown? Whatever it is, get over it! You are only young once. You do not want to look back and regret that you never took advantage of your youth and pushed you limits on some of the sickest waves on the planet. Long after the cost of the trip is forgotten, you will have memories to last you for a lifetime. Go on a surf travel adventure while you still have the chance!
