Mexico

With thousands of miles of Pacific coastline, it’s no big surprise that Mexico is one of the hottest surf spots of all time. This is where you’ll find some of the biggest surfable waves in the Americas – everything from classic point breaks to barrelling beach breaks. 

The best part of all is that Mexico’s waves don’t discriminate. Even first-timers can learn the skills they need to stand up on a board by the end of a lesson. But if you’re looking for massive overhead-ers that bring on new challenges, there’s always Puerto Escondido.
