Africa delivers a rugged surf adventure in every sense of the word. It requires intimate knowledge, patience, and a bit of luck to score great waves; however, when all of the factors come together Africa also delivers some of the best conditons and some of the longest waves possible. If you're seeking an adventure off the beaten path with an array of extracurricular activities and incredible culture - a journey through Africa is well worth the effort!

A surf trip through Europe is often taken for granted and overlooked as a core surf destination. You might be surprised to find that Europe offers a multitude of remarkable set-ups ranging from perfect beachbreaks to cobblestone points to thick, heaving slabs. Europe is also a cold water destination ideal for people who are looking for minimal crowds and something totally unique coupled with an old school charm.

Central America is a quick and easy way to escape the everyday hassles of life and score some fun, warm water beachbreak barrels, rivermouths, and exceptionally long pointbreaks. Our destinations offer some of the best locations to surf in Central America and the ability to get away from the grind! South America has one of the longest, surf-soaked coastlines in the entire world. From the majestic pointbreaks of Chile to the ominous barreling reefs of the Galapagos. South America offers a diverse range of waves and unparalleled scenery and culture that will keep you occupied in and out of the water! North America boasts a limitless amount of waves along both coastlines. Our primary focus revolves around our partnership with Tropicsurf and the Las Palmeras in Salina Cruz, Mexico but we are proud to custom tailor a variety of trips every year throughout other parts of Mexico and even a few surgical strike missions to other areas of North America.
