Are you fed up with the crowds and the terrible waves at your local beach? Do you dream about surfing some uncrowded reef break like the ones you see on DVD? Do you long to go on a surfing safari, just you and a few good buddies? If you said yes to any of those questions, it is now the time for you to get away and take a surf travel vacation.

You know you want to do it, so what is it that is keeping you from doing it? Do you think you cannot afford it? You probably can. An airline ticket to Bali does not cost all that much and when you get there, you can stay at a guesthouse for just a few dollars per day and have Uluwatu and all the other classic waves of Bali right there at your doorstep.

For a couple of bucks you can get a boat over to Nusa Lembongan and have your bungalow practically at the shoreline. If you have never heard of Lembongan before, you are in for a very pleasant surprise. In the land of the left hand breaks, the best waves there are rights!

With Bali as your basecamp, you have access to all of the waves in Indonesia. One of the best waves on the planet is on Java, just a stone throw from Bali: GLand

GLand needs no introduction to any surfer. On its day (and there are many), you can get barreled for up to two hundred yards on one of the fastest and most challenging waves in the world. You can stay there in comfort, too, unlike the old days when you had to sleep in the jungle.

Why not think big and go on the ultimate surfing safari. Get your buddies to pitch in and charter a boat. You can sail from Fiji all the way to the Maldives, stopping everywhere in between. You will surf some of the best reef breaks in the world and go places few have ever gone before. It will not be a cheap trip, but it is not out of the question, either. Just think about getting perfect waves to yourself in places you have only dreamed about before!

Are you still thinking you cannot really do it? Why? If it is the money or if you think it will be more than you can handle, put those thoughts out of your head. You will not be in this good shape forever. Age will catch up with you and the chance of a lifetime will have passed you by. If you love surfing, do not let anything stop you from experiencing the surf travel experience of a lifetime. Guaranteed, you will not regret it!
