When off on a surf trip, packing light is the aim of the game as plane, bus and island hopping is easier with less. However that doesn’t mean cutting corners as an overseas jaunt does require a few essentials.

Whether a surf trip virgin or a seasoned traveller, popping together a tick list is a great way to avoid over packing and to ensure no essentials are forgotten. For your next trip, here are a few key items to kick your list off …
