Surf Travel? Dont Let it Make You Sick!

Surf Travel is booming. As the sport grows, home beaches become over-crowded and older surfer find they cant enjoy their favorite sport. As surfers age and become more affluent, they are traveling in groups to exotic locations more often and many save all year for a dream trip with their friends. But what if one of the group has a flu? Or what if one of the group sits next to someone who is coughing on their flight?

The risk of infection while flying is about 20 times higher than for other commuters so coming down with a flu on vacation happens a lot more often than most surfers would imagine. In my experience about one group in four either gets a flu that infects almost all the members and one in five surf guests gets some kind of gastro illness while they are on vacation.
