I have been dreaming of doing a world tour to the best wave sailing spots... can anyone suggest the best places they have experienced to make up the ultimate list of places.

Scott McKercher's 7 wonders of the wavesailing world (UK windsurf mag Nov / Dec)

Punta Preta, Cabo Verde
Gloo
Hookipa, Hawaii
Thurso, Scotland
Baja, Mexico
One eye, Mauritius
Sumbawa, Indonesia

Now, bucket all you have to do is win lotto and take Scotty (I'll be your board cadyy) with you to show you how it is done!

Scratch Scotland.... it bloody snows there !!!!

I'll help too bucket

Dahab and Tenerife sound pretty good for consistent winds

[edit] guess I should pay more attention to which forum the post is in not too many waves in Dahab I suspect

sounds sweet.... not seen footage of wave sailing in a couple of those locations; however sounds like a variety of conditions... freezing cold to equatorial heat - would need to pack a dry suit and boardies in the same suitcase.. :-)

ps all board caddys are welcome.. note: a 5% premium applies to all caddys to cover the tour organiser's costs and beers.

There are no waves and wind in Gero, especially over xmas/new year.
So there is no need for outsiders to visit during this period.

Not sure if I would want to travel half the world to sail that - doesn't look any better than our local winter waves 4 minutes from home - maybe a bit more consistent wind wise.

gee i wish we had breaks like that.

Certainly isn't worlds best but with some regular days like this during winter on the local reef breaks it sure is good fun
