We don’t want to make anyone feel old, but this summer marks the 20th anniversary of the release of the iconic surf film Blue Crush. Instead of wondering where the time went (we can’t tell you), turn the moment into a beachside celebration with a surf-themed girlfriend getaway.
Whether you’re a beginner or a hang-ten, big wave pro, Ride on Surf in Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Florida, is the perfect spot to hone your skills. Warm, sparkling water and soft sand beaches are the setting, and the company’s professional, certified instructors are on hand to facilitate your best beach experience. Bring your own board or rent one from local surf shop WET, then head to Crystal Beach, Okaloosa Island or Henderson State Park.
For classic California surf vibes, Laguna Beach is where you’ll find Adventure O. A partnership between the company and the clifftop Montage Laguna Beach means pro Blair Conklin is on hand to guide both newbies and experienced riders in surf and skimboarding lessons in the same waters once frequented by surfing great Mike Parsons. You can even take a lesson with pro surfer Chuck Glynn in the latest water-top surfing craze, e-Foils.
Virginia Beach, Virginia — regarded as the birthplace of East Coast surfing way back in 1912 — is where you’ll find the East Coast Surfing Championships taking place Aug. 21– 28. Get inspired, then book a ticket for Anguilla, where you can unpack in your private luxury lodging at onefinestay, then embark on a personalized surfing class. End the day with a private beach picnic or dinner prepared by a private chef.
Love Hong Kong? Popular surfing beaches such as Tai Wan, Ham Tin, Tung Wan and Sai Wan have waves appropriate for all surfing levels. In Panama, Bocas del Toro is beloved by the international surf crowd, while South African destinations including Jeffrey’s Bay, Elands Bay, Dungeons Long Beach and Muizenberg consistently draw surf riders. Time your visit to coincide with one of the country’s big-name events, including The Billabong Pro Surf Tournament or Red Bull Wave Competition.
