Recovering from an Achilles tear, looking for ideas for an international trip during Thanksgiving

Hey everyone,

This is somewhat of kook question, but it didn't seem to explicitly violate the rules.

TL;DR: Ruptured my Achilles, beginner-intermediate surfer looking for an international destination to go to during Thanksgiving to have something to look forward to.

For more context:

I learned to surf in Lake Michigan, and I've done a few trips here and there since I left for Colorado (I still skate from time to time, and snowboard quite a bit in winter). My snowboarding season was cut short at the end of November because of a full Achilles tear, and after surgery it's going to be almost a year before I'm cleared for full activity.

I always get the week of Thanksgiving completely off, and it would coincide with my return to full activity.

Recovering from the a full Achilles rupture is a very long and slow process, and I'm trying to plan something to try and keep the stoke up for motivation.

Any ideas for places with consistent surf that a solo surfer could go to around that time?
