Luxury Surfing's Newest Nirvana

July 04, 2023

On the sandy doorsteps of Siargao Island, rests one of The Philippines’ best kept secrets and newly reopened luxury resorts - Nay Palad Hideaway; Tropicsurf’s latest resort partner. Aptly named, you’ll discover this hideaway with just ten private villas nestled amongst proud palm trees and rich green mangrove forests.

Greatness

February 11, 2022

I hated lots of it. But I’ll savour this.” This was the emotional confession from the G.O.A.T., Kelly Slater, after clinching his eighth Pipeline title at last week’s WSL Billabong Pipe Masters. It was perhaps the most honest public statement ever made by a professional athlete and came off the back of what was arguably the greatest moment in pro surfing history. Just five days shy of his 50th birthday, Slater dominated youthful vertebra and notorious specialists with a masterclass display of brilliance.

Where does a Tropicsurf guide go to unwind?

December 17, 2021

For surfers especially, travel is often in the blood. Most of us aren’t blessed with tropical, uncrowded waves on our doorstep and so we dream of a time and a place where this can become the ‘new normal’, if only for a week or so. But for our Tropicsurf guides who call these palm fringed beaches and turquoise line ups home, we can’t help but wonder what their surf travel dreams look like.

The Elucidations of Woody Gooch

The Elucidations of Woody Gooch

July 01, 2021

Still in his early twenties, Noosa-raised Woody Gooch might be termed an enfant terrible of the photographic world, except that there is nothing childlike about the incredible body of his work, and his persona, far from being frightening, is the dreamy presence of the skatey/surfer/adventurer that he is.

Postcards from Mandarina

May 28, 2021

I’m Mike, Tropicsurf’s program manager stationed at our newest property, One&Only Mandarina. Perched amongst an unspoiled pocket of Nayarit’s tropical coastline, Mandarina leaves you feeling as though you’ve entered another world, despite being located just a stones-throw from Punta Mita. I reside at Mandarina with my fiancé Katia who hails from Mexico and together, we’re having the time of our lives as we explore this picturesque pocket of the world and everything it has to offer together.

Hawaii - What the Ancients Knew

September 16, 2020
