Dan Harmon is a reader service YouTuber that travels the world breaking down surf destinations, waves, airlines, hotels, etc.
In this piece, he leans on his previous experience at various locations to curate the best 8 surf trips for the family to go on together.
Because as you likely know, you definitely don’t want to take the family on a boat trip to the Ments (unless you’re looking forward to a divorce when you get home), but fortunately, there are many other options where you can have your cake (i.e. get tubed) and eat it too.
To make this list, Harmon used five categories to narrow in on the best options: wave access, ease of arrival, hotel options, things to do (aside from surfing) and safety.
After careful consideration, research, and first hand experience, Harmon’s Top 8 are: Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Bali, Portugal, Hawaii, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives.
Of course, those are some broad strokes, so in the clip above Harmon goes into more detail and narrows down where to stay, when to go, and how to get around. Below the clip, he also provides links to specific airbnbs, camper vans, and more in each place.
