Surf Trip Checklist
If you’re like me, whenever you travel you wait until the last second to pack your bags and end up having a minor panic attack… By doing this I often end up forgetting things so I created a little checklist essentials for surf trips so I don’t find myself in some remote location missing essential pieces of gear. Hopefully this helps a few people out!
- Passport
- Surfboards
- Fins
- Leashes
- Wax
- Wax comb
- Fin key
- Extra leash string

Before you leave make sure to check your passport and make sure it’s valid for at least 6 months before your departure date! They won’t let you on the plane if it’s not… I’ve had to cancel a trip due to this before and it absolutely sucks, so don’t let this happen to you!
