What You Need In A Surf Vacation
Being a surfer means having the natural tendency to be drawn to huge waves. You must have tried one but while you are out there riding the waves with your surf board and waiting for the next huge one, you must have been dreaming of taking that surf vacation as you taste some of the world’s most popular swells.
Why not finally make that dream surf vacation a reality?
Each great surfer needs to have that good surf vacation once every month. Out of town trips may be frustrating at times with all the packing and preparations and the long list of things that you’re going to need while away. Many surfers may be water-logged when it comes to planning the real-life surf vacation. Take note of these directions so you won’t miss anything and you can swim freely into the wide blue expanse. Also remember to double check all your packing list right before taking off.
First thing’s first. Make up your mind on your destination. Your destination will tell you what kind of things you will need. If you have plans of staying in a town and decide to rent a motel room then you won’t be needing your camping gears with you. If you will be staying at an isolated part of the coast, you would have to camp or sleep on your vehicle.
Come up with a list of things to bring along before you depart. Obviously, you can the comfortable life you life but campers and travelers alike have proven that taking the essentials and only a few stuffs is a great means to keep the stress low.
Bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, flip flops, and enough clothes to keep you warm, dry, and relatively clean feeling while you are away from home. Shoes are important if it is going to rain or get cold or if there are hikes involved but even the cheapest sandals will not do the trick if you are constantly changing your attire or leaving the car to check on the waves and running towards the restaurant to use the bathroom and to live that sock free life in general.
Bring with you a supply of essential foods such as raisins, peanuts, bananas, oranges, honey and peanut butter, bread, tuna and also water.
If camping is in your plan, bring a tent or a sleeping bag. Bring a travel sleeping pad if you have one. This could tell you the difference between 8 and 3 hours of sleep.
Most importantly, in every surf vacation no matter how quick, bring your board, a leash, wax, your wetsuit, booties if it will be cold, gloves if it will be freezing, sun screen, a towel and a pair of board shorts. It is also great to bring with you a spare leash.
