What's The Deal With...?

Surf Travel Adventures

Any tips for managing logistics with multiple boards?

It’s a hassle, but doable. A good double or triple board bag with wheels is worth its weight. Pack clothes and soft gear around your sticks for padding. Know your airline’s fees and policies inside out—some are more surf-friendly than others. Consider renting a vehicle you can sleep in, turning your ride into a mobile board locker. Sometimes, shipping a board ahead via a specialized service is less stressful than airport carousels.

What’s the best way to find good waves when traveling alone?

The key is research and local stoke. Before you go, check reliable surf forecasts and cam sites. Once you land, skip the generic spots and head straight to the local surf shop. Buy a wax or a leash, chat with the shapers, and score the real beta. These cats know the hidden gems and the daily rhythm of the breaks. It’s about respecting the community and they’ll often point you to less crowded peaks perfect for a solo mission.

How can I stay safe surfing in a new place?

Always do a dawn patrol scout session. Watch the water for 20 minutes. Check for rips, rocks, or reefs. Ask a friendly local about hazards. Know your limits—don’t paddle out if it’s double overhead and you usually ride knee-high. Use a leg rope that’s the right length. If in doubt, sit on the beach. It’s better to miss a session than get into serious trouble.

Surf Gear Essentials

What features should I look for in a top-quality bag?

Seek out heavy-duty, waterproof zippers that won’t corrode. Double-stitched seams are crucial for longevity. Look for padded shoulder straps for easier carrying and reinforced drag pads on the bottom. Ventilation holes are a must to stop funky mildew. A quality internal leash loop or board strap stops your sled from sliding around. It’s all about durable materials and smart design that can handle salt, sun, and serious abuse.

What’s the difference between water-resistant and waterproof sunscreen?

Nothing is truly “waterproof.“ “Water-resistant” means it maintains its SPF level for a specific time while you’re in the drink—usually 40 or 80 minutes. After that, its effectiveness drops. That’s why reapplication is crucial. Always check the label for the water-resistance time and plan to re-up accordingly. No sunscreen can survive a full four-hour session without a touch-up.

How often should I reapply when I’m in the brine?

The rule of thumb is every two hours, but listen up—you need to reapply more often when you’re getting shacked! Every wipeout, long session, or towel dry removes your protection. Tuck a small, waterproof stick in your boardies or wetsuit for a quick re-up between sets. Staying on top of it keeps you covered from that dawn patrol glare right through the evening glass-off.
