MTB and Surf: in da same spot?
I wanna combine my two favorite non-snow-sliding activities in a vacation: MTB and surfing. I ride lots, and surf at a hardcore mediocre level.
Where are ideal destinations for both? I'm thinking Santa Cruz is at top of the list... Where else?
Most importantly: where in the tropics can you do both? I'd like to ride in the morning and then surf all afternoon in board shorts.
Whatcha got peoples??

MTB and Surf: in da same spot?
Gold Coast has nice surf but I’d hate to stay there for a vacation. The city itself is kind of a shit hole with ugly high rises. My wife and I were much bigger fans of Byron Bay... didn’t go biking there but the surrounding terrain seemed hilly enough that I’d be shocked if there aren’t some good trails around.

D, Punta Venado mountain bike park about 30 mins south of Playa del Carmen literally has a shack serving food and beer on the beach, from which you can literally walk into the ocean to paddle out or pedal onto single track featuring rocks, iguanas, jungle plants, flattish berms and small jumps. The trails there are actually loads of fun, I had a blast. The waves looked like a shore break fun for body surfing when I was there February 2017 ... now idea if it’s consistent enough for a board and when to go, but that was the first thing that came to mind when you said beach shack with MTB and surf ...
You can look them up on Facebook. They have lots of vids on their page.
