Written by Roxanne Andrews. An Aussie East Coast surf trip isn’t complete without a visit to Crescent Head. This tiny hamlet sits between Sydney and the Goldy (approx. a 4.5-hour drive from each) and 20 minutes off the Pacific Highway to the beach. Crescent easily lures crew in (and has done for eons) with its laid-back charm and the many waves in and around the vicinity.

We’re claiming it - the Gold Coast has got to be one of the world’s best cities for stand up paddle boarding. Not only are we blessed with beautiful beaches but there are kilometres of sparkling water ways winding through residential areas past pretty foreshore parks and waterfront precincts. The numerous creeks, canals and lakes spread across the city provide plenty of scenic spots where you can glide over calm, clear waters. If you’re more advanced, beach breaks offer an extra challenge.

Written by Roxanne Andrews. Hawaii’s North Shore reigns supreme as a bucket list surfing destination. It is a sacred place of pilgrimage for core surfers and a beacon for hangers-on, you know the type, the crew with all the gear and little to no idea, those hoping to catch a glimpse or at least absorb a bit of the feeling (that yes, only a surfer knows it) by being in the proximity of the 7-mile stretch that’s home to some of the most well-known waves on the planet, Pipe, etc. without paddling in.

With over 35 courses scattered across the city, the Gold Coast is a golfer’s paradise. You’ll find some of Australia’s best golf courses here, designed by some of the biggest stars of the sport including Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. The best bit? Unlike many other Australian cities where only members can have a hit, the general public are welcome to play at all but two of our courses. A round of golf won’t break the bank either.

Written by Roxanne Andrews. For those in the know, Musket Cove is the go-to zone to access Fiji’s best reef breaks in the Mamanuca Islands. The Musket Cove marina is a hive of activity in an otherwise remarkably chilled-out destination. The saying, ‘relax, you’re on Fiji time’ is definitely a thing. Nobody seems to be in a hurry, even when the swell is firing.

Written by Roxanne Andrews. A surf trip to County Sligo on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way will ignite the global coastal wanderer within. Fact: famous big wave breaks like Mullaghmore immediately conjure up a tunnel vision view of mutant slabs that require gonads the size of pint glasses. This colossal left is, quite frankly, frightening and unless you have big wave experience you’d be wise to leave it to the hardcore experts.
