Musician Ry Cuming grew up surfing Australian waves, so it\u2019s no wonder that his music has a chillax, beachy vibe. Lately, the 26-year old has been touring with Maroon 5 and One Republic, far from his native swells. But he surfs every chance he gets\u2014mostly in Los Angeles\u2014and will never forget his favorite breaks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the beauty of surfing is that it\u2019s something removed from a physical want,\u201d says Cuming. \u201cWhen you\u2019re touring, there\u2019s so much going on. Surfing\u2019s a very pure thing\u2014as close to meditation and spirituality as you can get.\u201d<\/p>\n

Want to zen out down under? Check out Cuming\u2019s top three Australian surf spots:<\/p>\n

3. Byron Bay<\/a>
\u201cThere\u2019s a range of different waves in Byron Bay. My dad lives in a little kind-of tree house stuck on the side of a hill and you can look out and see the waves across this reserve of trees. Surfing in the mornings with my dad is a real special thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Located in New South Wales, Byron Bay is also a popular spot for whale watching and SCUBA diving.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure> 2. Spooky\u2019s Point<\/a>
\u201cIt\u2019s intense. When it\u2019s big, it\u2019s incredible,\u201d says Cuming. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of power. It\u2019s a short ride. The waves come out of very deep water onto a very shallow reef. It\u2019s risky but the rewards are amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spookey\u2019s point is one of the breaks near Angourie.<\/p>\n

1. Angourie<\/a>
Cuming grew up surfing in Angourie, a small coastal village in New South Wales. According to tropicalnsw.com<\/a>, the city has a population of 300 and became a favorite surf spot for former world champion, Nat Young<\/a> after Byron Bay became overcrowded.<\/p>\n
