Surfers have long been known to have a unquenchable thirst for traveling around the globe in search of the perfect wave. While in the past this meant low budget travel and camping in front of desolate breaks, today's generation of surf travelers are more often composed of high-powered executives looking for an exotic vacation in which to enjoy nature, blow off steam, and of course enjoy world-class waves.

With this new trend in surf travel and the surf industry in general booming (companies like Billabong and Quicksilver are today publicly traded behemoths whose advertising budget alone would make most jealous), a huge number of surf resorts have been popping up all around the far corners of the globe. From Bali to Hawaii to Costa Rica, one after another has opened its doors and made the primal call to surfers that "surf's up!". And surfers have responded in droves, in many instances choosing vacation destinations solely based on access to and quality of waves.

With so much competition sprouting up, many people have begun to ask the question -- "What is the Ultimate Surf Vacation?". To answer this query we set out to explore the options. First and foremost, the baseline requirement of course was the presence of world-class waves, solid consistency and variety for all levels and types of surfers. Next, we searched out spots which had something more to offer than just waves, as today's high-end surf traveler is more demanding in terms of leisure options. Only a destination with access to other day time outdoor activities, as well as great nightlife and dining, is able to fit the bill these days. Finally, the resort needs to have high-end accommodations, as today's surf travelers no longer are content with tents and hammocks. Luxury villas and amenities such as high-speed wireless internet, international phone lines, and direct beach access are crucial.

After much analysis and research, we are happy to report that in a crowded field of many, one surf resort stood out head and shoulders from the rest -- NEXUS Surf in Florianopolis, Brazil.
