Inspiration for the perfect, Independent surfing holiday

Experience the romance of travelling with a surf board under your arm!

SurfingAnyone who has experienced the peace and calm behind an empty back break, with rollers crashing onto a stunning coastline beyond the front of your board will know the magic of a surfing holiday. Anyone who hasn't can be assured; the feeling is well worth discovering! Whether you have never touched a surf board or surfed the biggest surf beaches in the world, the right surf holiday will be unforgettable; and there are thousands to choose from!

If you are a beginner, practice is unfortunately the only way to work your way up to the famous surf beaches of Hawaii. Living in the UK, we get good surf conditions on any part of the English coast, but the most consistent and largest swells hit the coast of Cornwall. The UK's number one surf town, Newquay, is a great place to take surf lessons and go surfing in the UK. There is also some fantastic European surfing close by for those who like sunshine that lasts long into the evening, and by taking private accommodation on the beach, you are never far away if conditions become irresistible!
