From the towering waves of Nazaré to the legendary barrels of Pipeline, OnlyFans has become a destination for professional surfers sharing life beyond the lineup. Across the platform, athletes are giving fans a deeper look into the sport through travel diaries, training sessions, competition-day prep, and behind-the-scenes moments from some of the world’s most iconic breaks. So we asked a few of our featured surfers a simple question: what’s your favorite place to surf, and what makes it so special? Their answers became this ultimate list of the best surf spots in the world.
Portuguese big-wave surfer Tony Laureano (@tony_laureano) is known for taking on some of the world’s heaviest conditions.
His performances at Nazaré helped establish him as one of the sport’s rising big-wave talents, including a reported 101.4-foot wave that, if officially confirmed, could rank among the largest ever surfed.
He also claimed victory at the inaugural Coruña Big Waves championship in Galicia, further cementing his place within the world of big-wave surfing.
“My favorite beach to surf is for sure Nazaré, the place I’m from. It was over there where I discovered my passion for big waves, the thing I love the most, so it’s impossible to have a different favorite place.
To surf those big days, you gotta have a lot of surf experience, but when it’s smaller it’s doable for all kinds of levels, and there are also other spots and surf schools around that are perfect to get started.”

Hawaiian professional surfer Moana Jones Wong (@moanajoneswong) is one of the standout talents to emerge from Oahu’s North Shore surf scene.
She made history by winning the women’s Vans Pipe Masters in 2020, establishing herself as one of the most respected surfers at Pipeline, and has since competed against many of the world’s top athletes on the WSL Championship Tour.
Known for her confidence in heavy conditions, Moana’s career includes strong Triple Crown performances and a reputation for charging some of surfing’s most demanding waves.
“I live on the North Shore of Oahu and we have so many amazing surf spots. But if I had to pick one, I really enjoy surfing Pipeline. It’s one of the best barreling waves in the world, and it’s where world champions get crowned. This wave is where champions are made.
The level of experience needed to surf it successfully is very high. Every surfer out there has been surfing since they were a kid and practicing at Pipeline for years. It’s one of the hardest waves to surf on the planet.”

Lucia Martiño (@lucia_martino) helped establish Spain as a serious presence on the global surfing stage.
She became the first Spanish woman to qualify for the WSL Championship Tour and has represented Spain in multiple international competitions throughout her career.
Known for her longevity and consistency at the top level, Martiño is also a multi-time national champion whose influence has helped inspire a new generation of European surfers.
“One of my favorite places to surf is Xagó Beach. I love spending the day there surfing and having a good time with my family and friends, and the after-surf is always a good plan at a local chiringuito by the beach.
When the waves are smaller, surfers with a little experience can jump into the water. But when it’s pumping, only surfers with a good level should go in because the waves break hard into the sand and the currents can be dangerous. To really enjoy it, you should at least be an intermediate surfer.”

Basque professional surfer and stand-up paddle competitor Alazne Aurrekoetxea (@alazneaurrekoetxea) competes across multiple disciplines including SUP surf, longboard, and shortboard.
Originally from Sopela, Spain, she has earned recognition through European paddle-surf competition, including a European championship in SUP surfing and a runner-up finish at world team championships with the Spanish national team.
Known for her versatility in the water and strong connection to the ocean, Aurrekoetxea balances high-level competition with a deep appreciation for surf culture and life around the waves.
“It’s hard to choose just one favorite, but I’d say Chickens in the Maldives. For me, my ideal wave has to be long and keep going without ending. Even though Chickens isn’t one of the longest waves, I personally love left-handers, and it’s a really fun left. I absolutely love it there.
The wave is more hollow and the reef is coral, so you need solid technique and confidence in the water. Because of those conditions, it’s best suited for surfers with at least an intermediate level of experience.”
