Magical Places for a Surf Trip

Uluwatu, Bali, Indonesia

What makes a specific place so magical for a surf trip?

Some say it's the light of the morning or the sunset, others say the landscape, the mountains, and the sea. It could be the local culture and traditions or its people and food.

Regardless of what reason looks more appealing to you, it is impossible, sometimes, not to say it's the mystic of the place and the way it makes you inexplicably feel a sense of belonging. Such is the awe of what you are experiencing that it becomes a kind of "spiritual experience" in the sense of having a connection to something larger than you.

Often as surfers, while searching for waves, we find places like this during our travels through the different corners of the world and we immediately feel a connection to them to the point of often managing to stay longer than initially intended and when we leave we get this everlasting feeling of wanting to return.

We have all had this experience during a surf trip, but what is it that really makes you have this sense of connection?
