After learning how to surf, the next step was planning a surf trip. This may be the most amazing thing you can do while on the Gold Coast. All that is needed is boards, if you're serious about it, it's worth buying a used one, friends, food, and a wicked van. Wicked Vans can be rented for dirt cheap, and they'll let American students drive them. They are the perfect means of transportation for a surf trip. Load the boards on the top, the food in the back, and your friends in the seats and off you go. The seats also fold out into a bed which is great for about two people, three starts to get a little crowded. For our trip we visited Brisbane, Bribie Island, Currumbin, Coolangotta, and Byron Bay. We surfed all day, camped out at night, and then drove to the next place where the waves were breaking. It was a great experience, and one that I highly recommend.
Hey Emily, thanks for the wrap! I work for the Wicked Campers Evangelism team - its nice to have fans write about us on their travel blogs...sounds like you had an awesome roadtrip and you're dishing out good advice to wannabe travellers to the great land Down Under!
