I know what you were thinking when you read the title to this post. Summer and Stefan are planning a surf trip? They live in a place people take surf trips to! Well, I’m not one to argue that point with you in the winter time, but come summer (rainy season), the swells hitting Rincon (created by the wintertime low pressure systems marching across the states) stop hitting the North West part of the island and Rincon goes from a bustling surf destination to a quiet, tropical paradise for snorkelers. Now, Summer and I both love snorkeling, but we also love surfing and deserve a vacation.

So, here I am, researching a surf trip that Summer and I can take this Summer. We want to go somewhere neither of us has been to yet. We are open to suggestions if you have any for us. The only pre-requisite for a destination is that it must have hi-speed Internet access. Either of us can take the time off from work, so we will be bringing our computers with us.

    Here are a few Surf Trip Ideas

  • Indonesia
  • Nicaragua
  • Panama
  • Mainland Mexico
  • Canary Islands (not Tenerife)

We have some really close friends that are going to Kandui Resort in Indo for two weeks in July. The resort looks absolutely insane. Aside from all the world class waves a short boat ride away from the island, they only allow a certain amount to surfers on the island at a time (limits the amount of people surfing) AND it has high speed Internet.

I have also been doing a bunch of research on Mainland Mexico, specifically Puerto Escondido. I found a cool vacation rental that has high speed Internet, close to the beach, the grocery stores and the waves there are insane. Also, we would be able to put our conversational Spanish to good use and it would be a very budget conscious trip, which is good. I’d like to blow the rest of my money on the house and our trip to Colorado in August.
