There are a number of things that need to be considered before you embark on your surfing holiday.

Surfing destination
Having a high level plan for your surfing holiday adventure is good to have so that you
know where you will be from one day to the next. You might have a plan to travel by car up or down the east coast of
Having a destination in mind for surfing holidays will allow you to better equip yourself with the knowledge and equipment you need to make your trip a success.
Surfing Culture
When you have your surfing holiday destination picked out you should do some research into the local culture. A local was defined by Mark Warren in his atlas of Australian surfing as “… anyone who has been there a day longer than you”. This attitude has prevailed in surfing creating territorial reactions towards outside surfers. Having an understanding of the likely reaction from locals will let you prepare yourself for potential reactions from other surfers you may encounter on your surfing holiday. REMEMBER...a little bit of respect goes a long way.
Surfing Equipment
Being well equipped is key to making the most out of any surfing holiday you may embark upon. Understanding the location will allow you to put together a list of items you must take. You will certainly need a surfboard that suits your level of skill, having a surfboard bag will allow you to transport the board with minimal damage. You will also need your wax, leg rope and sunscreen to avoid burning your skin to a bright shade of red after hours in the water. Then, depending on the outcome of your investigation into the location, you may need a wetsuit for cold water or booties if the surf break requires walking over reefs to get to.
