Hey Joseph!! Thank you so much!! And that contribution honestly means so much to me!! Looking forward to using it to make more vids like this :)) Yewww!!
You are Definitely earning the undisputed title Dan The Man you have been producing some of the best surf destinations to hit on a budget or even if the skys the limit Maybe in the near future you can provide some locations that the wife or girlfriend will enjoy as much as the surfing spouse without blowing up these locations too much Thanks for sharing as always my friend Stay Safe and Be well my friend 👍🤙
Thanks Michael!! Stoked you're enjoying them as always! Yeah, family/gf surf trip locations is an epic video idea, I'll definitely make something like that in future :)
Lakey peak is sick but it's a 400m paddle if you are truly lazy and the plastic pollution in and out of the water is a disaster. 6-10 breaks (Nunga Doro L/R, a secret left and right, Cobblestones L/R, Lake Pipe, Peak, Nungas, Periscopes), all within a short scooter ride, probably the densest wave zone on the planet, but don't stay at the cheaper hotels, some don't even have a sink in the bathroom.
Hey mate!! Yeah true, that paddle can be long especially after a 4 hour session hahah 😂 And yep, good shout on the cheaper options...usually get what you pay for hahah!!
hey Dan epic video showcasing these epic surf spots around the globe,im in south africa in the eastern cape,a semi remote xhosa village called Mdumbi,with our currency being so weak im glad youve shown places like puerto escondito and nicuaragu..were i live their are world class right hand points called Lwandile and Mdumbi.please have a squiz at a video i posted some time back called "Mdumbi surf video 2022"
Hey mate!! Thank you and yes I've heard of that place before!! It's the Transki region right?! Would love to visit that part of the world one day, I'm just scared of sharks hhaha!!
Hey Lucas!! Yes, definitely can be done in Peniche! Especially if you stay in Baleal... It's just good to have a car to drive up/down the coast and over to Supertubos. But yes, can be done for sure :)
Hi Dan, appreciate the video. I'd add Taghazout to the list, everything between Panorama and Killers is easily in walking distance and it's super cheap there.
Brazil has loads of options like that! Actually growing up in Brazil made me so lazy to drive to surf.... I usually give up surfing if I need to get onto a motor vehicle to get to the beach 😂😂
So glad my fav spot wasnt listed. Anybody else remember when Costa Rica was cheap? Its not the natives, but all the Americans and Europeans making it too expensive.
September to November or even December. Just so you know that sometimes it gets a little crowded, many Australian and European surfers are present. Go to Cloud 9 in Siargao, Philippines. The nightlife and food are awesome.

@@DDgr8ful which one is better and what about going now?
Puerto... sick little beach breaks? Heavy at least. Thanks for not talking about the Philippines, no walking or surfing here. Crowds and not friendly... LOL BTW, India has it's spots but time the season. Not talking bout Maldives.
Hey Dan, always appreciate your content. Just watched your maldives video which I really enjoyed. I'm from GC Oz and I'm planning to do a gap year and try and stay at some of these breaks (probably central america and indo) for a month or two as I have some money saved up. Do you think it's better to stay for a week then go to a different break/place or is it possible to stay for months at a time? Thanks :)
Thanks mate!! So stoked you enjoy it!! Epic, yeah good shout on Central America!! I't always cheaper to stay somewhere longer as you can rent a place and get ab better deal and won't spend as much money on transport! That said, if you're staying in hostels and taking buses through Central America for example, you can still do it super cheap!! And I like to check out different places and surf new waves, but staying somewhere longer can also mean you understand a break better and score better waves. Try and do a bit of both I reckon :))
Batu Mejan is the real name..not Echo Beach...for those of us who lived in the area before that crappy restaurant was built( now not there) but people still continue to call it that😢😢😢
Hey mate!! Yeah, TH-cam is becoming my main source of income more and more, but yes, english teaching, and freelance writing are my other two income sources!! But I definitely take a lot of financial risk to make so many trips happen, as what I earn changes so much haha!
Hey Lucas!! I haven't been to Hossegor for a few years! But if you go on Rome2RIo and type Bayonne to Hossegor, it will tell you the exact route and company!! That's what I use when I'm not sure :)
Hahha!! Thank you. I agree... Any time I have a car, I end up spending so much money on it and have no interest in them whatsoever! Walkable surf destinations for the win haha!! 😂
Hey mate!! Yeah definitely places on the list... To be honest, I've always been to scared to go to G-Land, but would love to head back to Sumbawa and check out Timor!!
Hey Dan, what'd be the most cost-effective option accommodation wise for digital nomads living in Bali. Do you rent a place for the month or stay at hostels and pay a daily/weekly rate?
Hey mate!! Great question... It depends on the standard of living you're happy with I reckon! I'd say if you're happy sharing a dorm and living a hostel life, then that would be the cheapest (some hostels are nice and well set up for working online). But if you prefer your own room, I'd suggest renting a place for a month on Airbnb or something. Then you can get a sick place with a discount :)
You dont have to kill, they’ll happily take $10 for a lesson where you’ll be able to be push paddled into waves and be able to drop in on anyone without repercussions, even guys that have surfed their whole lives
Have you ever been to Senegal? I’ve wanted to go there for at long time. You fly to the capital Dakar and then you have tons of surf right there on the beaches. I think most visiting surfers go to the island of Ngor which is right of the coast. Looks epic on footy I’ve seen from the area.
I live in n cali and smoke weed. Would love to hear about weed laws and also your opinion on buying a board vrs paying board tax for travel. Is it cheers to buy a board in Hawaii than bring one?
Hi mate!! I don't smoke so I'm not the person to ask for that. Regarding boards, Hawaii is a tricky one because you'll need specific (bigger) boards so it could be easier to get them there! But depends what you have already :)
Great list! Big favor - please work on your pronuciation, especially Nicaragua. Would add a bit of credence and belief that you have been to these places
Thank you!! Hahaha, definitely something I need to work on, I think that's how we pronounce Nicaragua in England though!? I also go to so many new places, it's tricky to get them all correct hahah!
Thanks for all your abundent research Dan. The videos you produce are very helpful and packaged so concisely. Keep up the good work. Cheers !!

Great videos, thanks man 👍
Maybe you could have added at the end of each destination what seasons are best for each locations based on surfing ability
Hey Lucas!! Thank you and yes great idea! Maybe I'll add that to the descriptions. And noted for future vids :))

Sunset to Waimea is the same distance (roughly) as pipe to periscopes.
Dan. I am a lazy surfer. This is so perfect. Thank you
Hi there, what ye reckon about Pavones Costa Rica, the long lefts?
hey Dan epic video showcasing these epic surf spots around the globe,im in south africa in the eastern cape,a semi remote xhosa village called Mdumbi,with our currency being so weak im glad youve shown places like puerto escondito and nicuaragu..were i live their are world class right hand points called Lwandile and Mdumbi.please have a squiz at a video i posted some time back called "Mdumbi surf video 2022"

Very refreshing to hear you don’t like big heavy waves.
Yeah, I'm not afraid to say I'm scared when its over 4ft hahah! But definitely something I'd like to change and learn to feel more comfortable in!! :)
Mirissa and Weligama in Sri Lanka😀
Great shout!! I'm in Weligama now actually... Might have to make a second edition of this video...
@@DanHarmon123 check Jungle Beach
Man, you are my guide in the world of surftrips. Love your videos!
Epic!! Stoked you're finding the content helpful :))
Awesome breakdown. Wish I was 20 years younger now! Ha!
Thanks Jamie! Hahah!!
Subscribed immediately... Thanks for all the tips man.
Hey mate!! So stoked you found this helpful! Looking forward to sharing more videos with you :)
Hey Dan, what about Peniche? Not able to walk around there and find waves?
Hey Lucas!! Yes, definitely can be done in Peniche! Especially if you stay in Baleal... It's just good to have a car to drive up/down the coast and over to Supertubos. But yes, can be done for sure :)
Hi Dan, appreciate the video. I'd add Taghazout to the list, everything between Panorama and Killers is easily in walking distance and it's super cheap there.
Hey mate!! Yeah definitely a good one to add, should have included that one. Maybe I'll make a second edition of this video actually!!
i can add Weligama & Arugam Bay in Sri Lanka if you like a crowded surf.
Rio de Janeiro is another one. In Zona Sul you are within a half dozen or so breaks within 30 min walking distance.
Is the water clean enough?
@@sarahjane4908 As clean or cleaner than beaches in Bali.
Great shout!! Yeah, there are a few places in Brazil actually that could have made this list... Thanks for the heads up :)
Definitely!!
I think it depend son the rain, but when I was in Rio (this time last year), the water was super blue/clear :)
Brazil has loads of options like that! Actually growing up in Brazil made me so lazy to drive to surf.... I usually give up surfing if I need to get onto a motor vehicle to get to the beach 😂😂
Have you ever been in Sagres? If so, do you think that having a car is a must?
Hey Leonardo! I've never been to Sagres, so I'm not sure too be honest!!
Really good and usefull video. Thanks for all the vidéos.
Stoked you enjoyed them!! :))
So glad my fav spot wasnt listed.
Anybody else remember when Costa Rica was cheap? Its not the natives, but all the Americans and Europeans making it too expensive.
Ericeira in Portugal. Or Costa Caparica near Lisboa
Yeah good shout on Portugal!! All do-able without a car for sure!!
Siargao, Philippines
Baler, Philippines
Calicoan, Philippines
First Check when is the peak season on each spot
when is the peak seasons?
September to November or even December. Just so you know that sometimes it gets a little crowded, many Australian and European surfers are present. Go to Cloud 9 in Siargao, Philippines. The nightlife and food are awesome.

In some of the areas mentioned the localism in the water is excessive, it would be worth talking about this also as it can ruin your trip.
For sure!!
Batu Mejan is the real name..not Echo Beach...for those of us who lived in the area before that crappy restaurant was built( now not there) but people still continue to call it that😢😢😢
Hey Russel!! Ahh ok, thanks heaps for the heads up! I never knew that... Batu Mejan, got it!!
what are your other income sources beside from english teaching?
Pole dancing
@@lilsim9068🤑🤑🤑
Hahhah, I don't think there are many people on earth that'd pay to see me pole dance hahah!! 😂😂

@@DanHarmon123 is the main revenue from TH-cam Adsense or brand deals?
Goos content and i like how you are making shorter uploads getting the info across quickly
Thanks mate!! Yeah trying to get better and making videos and keeping things concise :)
Great video!!
Hey Dan, hat is the best way to get from the Bayonne bus station to Hossegor?
Hey Lucas!! I haven't been to Hossegor for a few years! But if you go on Rome2RIo and type Bayonne to Hossegor, it will tell you the exact route and company!! That's what I use when I'm not sure :)
San Diego
Excellent topic. Cars suck.
Hahha!! Thank you. I agree... Any time I have a car, I end up spending so much money on it and have no interest in them whatsoever! Walkable surf destinations for the win haha!! 😂
Good list I’d add the Bukit and Ericeira
Thank you! Yes definitely Ericiera can be done without a car and yes if you're staying at Ulus or in front of one of the other spots :)
Better waves else where in oz other than Queensland
For sure!! Plenty you need a car for though... so thought I'd keep things well known and walkable for this one hahah!
Can you do one on G-land & Timor/Sumbawa?
Hey mate!! Yeah definitely places on the list... To be honest, I've always been to scared to go to G-Land, but would love to head back to Sumbawa and check out Timor!!
