There are a few spots I\u2019d like to hit, but I\u2019m not going to tell you about them.\u00a0At least not yet. Actually, I feel like there are endless spots I\u2019d like to check out, including some classic breaks that I always want to return to. Leaving aside Oz breaks for now, at that the moment these ten are at the top of my list:<\/p>\n

The Pipeline, Oahu Hawaii<\/h2>\n

It just doesn\u2019t get any more iconic, challenging, or potentially perfect than Pipe, so like everyone that\u2019s a wave I always look forward to returning to, and probably speaks for itself.<\/p>\n

Teahupoo, Tahiti<\/h2>\n

Again, another iconic and super challenging break that really demands the best from you. Surfing Chopes is like nothing else, you just have to be on your game mentally and physically.
\n<\/p>\n

Skeleton Bay, Namibia<\/h2>\n

Namibia<\/a> is such as a wild and remote place that I would take any opportunity to go back, but the fact that Skeleton offers an unreal sandy-bottom left is just an invitation to head back.
\n
\nAs far as venturing out to new and different breaks, here\u2019s my current short list of world surf spots that I would be stoked to try out:<\/p>\n

Cloud Nine, Philippines<\/h2>\n

I\u2019d be up to try Cloud Nine, which is off Siargao Island in the Philippines<\/a>. It has both solid lefts and rights, and the Philippines is someplace that I feel hasn\u2019t been discovered to death by people and provides some opportunities for exploration too. I might just find something totally new.
\n<\/p>\n

Nihiwatu, Sumba<\/h2>\n

There are always breaks in Indonesia<\/a> that I\u2019d like to hit up. Actually, I would love to take a boat around Indo for like six\u00a0months and just sail from spot to spot: Bali<\/a> of course and Lakey Peak in Sumbawa, but Nihiwatu in Sumba is supposed to be one of the world\u2019s great lefts, so I would be stoked to try that.
\n<\/p>\n

Lance\u2019s Left, Sumatra<\/h2>\n

The Mentawai\u2019s are off the coast of Sumatra<\/a>, but have their own vibe. I\u2019d be amped to head there both for Lance\u2019s Left, A Frames, and a bunch of other famous breaks. The Mentawai\u2019s always has unreal surf and even though it\u2019s a bit of a challenge to get there, that sort of adds the mystique.
\n<\/p>\n

Pasta Point, Maldives<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a spot in the Maldives<\/a> called Pasta Point that\u2019s supposed to have an unreal long lefthander, so I\u2019d be down for that and just to hang out in the Maldives for a while, haha.<\/p>\n

Carrapateira, Portugal<\/h2>\n

As far as Europe goes, I\u2019d like to check out Carrapateira in Portugal<\/a>, which has a pretty mean left and I hear isn\u2019t that crowded. Portugal has some awesome conditions as swells roll in off the Atlantic. Everyone\u2019s familiar with Nazare, but there\u2019s much more, or so I hear.
