Hi guys n gals,

You guys rock you all really friendly on here! :D I've decided to be wild and take one month off this december and spend it surfing and traveling by myself. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on suitable destinations for the single traveler, what about surf schools can anyone recommend a really awesome one that they've been to on their own. I defo want to be able to meet cool like minded people where ever i go and be in an environment where u are able to mix in easily with other surfers n stuff.

Also if anyone is interested in surfing over this decemeber drop me an email,

Robo

money would be the desciding factor :lol: got any idea where you want to go? otherwise we could end up lsting every viable country with decent surf and weather - strike that the list would be very small :lol:

have a look at wannasurf.com as I think you'd find that helpful.

Sounds great - a whole month, just to travel and surf.... you'll have an amazing time..

Morrocco is cool, I've never been, but I've been investigating a holiday there with my friend, we found it's incredibly cheap to fly there from london using ryan air, you can fly return for about £40...

It's a start, perhaps!

You´re right ! And knowing the local surfschool they use is Quicksilver Surfschool aswell.

I think major brands and companies like that should check out the schools first on quality etc before actually joining as one !

Anyone would think a quicksilver surf school would be good to go with, but like I said, when my mate was there they definately weren´t up to scratch !
