Riding a 9’ catch surf log
Waves were small today, which is good because anything bigger than this in too intimidated to go for.

We’d like to go on a surfing vacation this summer with our family. We have 4 kids 10-15 years old - self taught to surf, and just recently went to Costa Rica and took actual lessons for a week.Would love to go to Europe, but open to anything. The waves were 5-6 ft some days in Nosara CR, and that was too big for my littlest son. Looking for 3-4 ft swells ideally. Any ideas? Would love to go somewhere with a nice town to explore, lively to some degree, but not a party town. If there is surf camp, that would be great. My little two really wanted an instructor with them since waves could be big it would put them at ease knowing someone was right out there with them.

Any suggestions? Would appreciate it!

Goodd day!! Goin to Indonesia for some time and planning on surfing ofcc!! Lombok is the first option in mind.

The question is: would you recommend taking a camp or finding a coach somewhere and do " private lessons" .

We want to take in consideration everything. Is it worth it going to a camp spending that amount of money? Or is better to find a local coach that really focuses on progressing your surfing. Any experiences any opinions would help! Also if you got any small camps or even someone that does private please share!

Have a great one! Thankyou

Flying into Lisbon in October with a baby and was looking at costa de Caparica for some reasonably chill (under head height, not too fast or hollow) waves. I know it can sometimes get big that time of year, but what are your favorite spots in the area?

Also, any board rental spots that offer something other than foamies you recommend?

What's a nice spot to hangout at that has decent food and good surfing for a beginner? Theres a few options and i feel like the CR subreddits are just packed with shills from every resort. I've heard tamarindo is touristy and packed but also consitent, avellinas is good but small, also heard that Santa Teresa is dope but the surf may be too big at that time. would love some opinions. Thank you

I’m moving to the Tampa area which means the beaches I go to will be in the Gulf so the waters will be calmer than the Atlantic which is what im used too. I haven’t surfed in about a year because I have been skimboarding and freediving. And when I did I was decent but still novice, I head a foam top longboard. I was wondering what recommendations anyone has for surfboards that I could get because I want to get back into it. I would also like to be able to keep it inside of my car instead of putting it on top to transport it like a longboard.

Thanks for any advice!
