Surfing Waves

Hi!
Im looking the best, the biggest waves. First question: What is better: Hawaii or Australia ? Where is the biggest waves ? And what is the best country to surfing ?

Hi koperek425, that question is a bit like how long is a piece of string?
Things that need to be considered are your level of surfing, when do you want to go because some places have distinct surfing seasons that are better than others,You could also consider Indonesia.
Another question, where are you coming from? That should be a factor too.
I'm also going to post this answer in your post because then you will get a multitude of opinions. I know you are frothing to get somewhere to go, I would suggest using the PM for stuff you feel would not be clear on the open forum ( like discussing a trip to the areas where someone lives so they keep their address etc private.

In brief give a run down of your surfing experience and you will get detailed answers!

Indonesia.

I wanna imigrattion to Hawaii or Australia but i dont know where is better waves to surfing ? Where is highest waves ? In Hawaii or Australia ?

You'll find waves of consequence in both places. Hawaii might have a heavier local scene though, so might be harder to actually get a wave. Crowds seem to be a problem in both places. You should probably be looking at how easy it is to get a visa/work in each place, unless you have plenty of money and have no need to work, in which case Indonesia would seem to be the place to go. If you are an average normal surfer, and not surfing slabby killer reefs or proper 20ft+ big waves, I've heard Costa Rica is one of the most consistent places. If you fancy some really big waves how about here:

Hi Koperek are you hoping to migrate from Poland, if that is the country you want to leave?
(Koperek is Polish for the herb Dill and an entirely different thing in Australia)
Knowing your country of origin might help advise you on your migration needs!
both Australia and Hawaii ( which is part of The United States of America) have strict immigration laws and criteria for entry, a desire to die on big waves as a complete novice is not one of them.
Your surfing experience is vital to the size of wave you take on.
I suggest you save your money put it into the Cortes Bank, book a passage on a Shipsterns trip, you'll ask Whymeah? ( bad spelling I know ) but when you confront the Jaws of the big ones you probably won't feel like any of the Mavericks that ride big waves.
You can try the big waves of Europe first in Portugal, France and Spain and go Guiness and Eileens.
Seriously if you have no experience anything overhead is going to terrify you and any bigger than that is a death wish without experience.

This is probably just a language barrier issue and I don't mean to judge, lord knows I don't speak a lick of Polish. But just to be clear Hawaii is not a country it's a state of the USA.

Koperek I'm not from Poland but I googled Koperek and found out what it meant and guessed from there.
Now let me give you some real considered advice, you need to build a case for migration to country USA or Australia and probably anywhere else.
There are plenty of successful Polish immigrant in both the USA and Australia, but none have migrated with a wish to surf the biggest and highest waves without any surfing experience. Migration is about becoming a useful citizen of the country you move to.

Ok for Australia you can apply for a tourist visa and tell them you want to have a surfing holiday you need to have the visa and enough money to support yourself while you have your holiday. Costly option!
Go and have a surfing holiday in Spain or Portugal, both have great surf and warmer water than the Baltic.
There will be surf there that will more than satisfy your needs at this stage. Much cheaper
Try before you commit to anything
If you want to do the surf experience even further try Bali there are surf schools there
Just stop frothing about the biggest and highest waves they are beyond most surfers big is not necessarily quality
quality can be ridden at any size.
At this stage you are trying to drive a Trabi in a Formula 1 race when you can't drive.

Go to the Embassies of the countries you are interested in and see what you have to do

If you have to ask, you're not ready...

Before you consider attempting a proper Big Wave. You need to practice wiping out. The best simulation of this is holding your breath in the bath for 4-5mins while a friend punches you in the face.

it´s portugal, it has the biggest waves in the world, watch below

Biggest maybe but not necessarily the best.
99.99% of surfers could not handle Nazare at size.
Nor would they want to.
Which death slab will hold next year's biggest wave ridden, who knows
But best nup!

Hah....I fell yesterday and inhaled water when I wiped out....was in waist deep water and I shot up like I had a shark on my leg coughing and sputtering....double or triple hold down!?! More like flopping around like a fish and acting like I almost drown in water so deep that I had to squat to get my face wet....

Somewhere around my 36th birthday that whole living life with no fear thing suddenly was a history chapter and I became middle aged and decidedly practical and safety conscious.....maturity maybe, more like the birth of a geezer, but here i sit....

Actually, that's the year when I became the older generation in my nuclear family....birth of your own children is sobering....seat belts on, wear a helmet, definitely don't plan to fool with big wave death slabs.....
