If you could surf anywhere in the world, where would you go? If you ask any British surfer that question, the answer will almost always be somewhere hot.

Well, we’ve put a twist on your regular heat map. Instead, we’ve created this infographic to show you where the world’s best surf spots are through the use of our handy, coloured gnarl-o-meter.

Red represents the best, gnarliest spots you can go, like Hawaii and South Africa. This fades gradually into orange and yellow for the more mellow breaks (hello Great Britain) and then into green for the baby waves (sorry Scandinavia).

Which one of these places is on your hit list?
