Anyone here do surf trips? I live in Hawaii and am a pretty good surfer but never had the urge to do surf trips until recently since there are so many world class waves minutes away from me. Looking for cheap places to surf that are different from Hawaii. I'm well traveled otherwise but up til now kept my two passions separate. I like colder climates in general when traveling, but have never surfed cold water.

thanks man. I was considering south africa for J-bay but it's got a reputation for being sharky and unsafe. Is that true?

Yes, I went to Wisconsin.

about great lakes surfing and put it into consideration.

Bitterly cold, but it can be done.

Port St. John's has a bad reputation -- the theory was that all the minivan taxis blasting music on the foreshore make the sharks hungry/angry.

NZ looks like it'd be pretty rad. Anyone been or live there? I see mostly lefts coming up though and would like a mix of both.
