speaking of new zealand . . . i heard they have REAL food there, no plastic food like in usa.  they eat Organic mostly and have it in ALL their grocery stores, not just in a few health food stores at outrageous prices.\n\ni think new zealand also has some beautiful untouched areas that would be clean environmentally.\n\nmostly unpolluted cities would be those who have low population and in areas with vast open spaces.\n\nlet me know if you come up with any that look good and are by the beach.  :)  maybe somewhere in new zealand.  :)

size.\n\n\nOceans (from Ὠκεανός Okeanos in Greek, the ancient Greeks noticing the strong current that flowed off Gibraltar and assuming it was a great river) cover almost three quarters (71%) of the surface of the Earth, and nearly half of the world's marine waters are over 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) deep. The area of the oceans is 361 million sq. km.\n\nThis global, interconnected body of salt water, called the World Ocean, is generally divided by the continents and archipelagos into the following bodies, from the largest to the smallest: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean.\n\nSmaller regions of the oceans are called seas, gulfs, straits and other names.\n\nA sea is a large expanse of saline water connected with an ocean, or a large, usually saline, lake that lacks a natural outlet such as the Caspian Sea and the Dead Sea. The term is used colloquially as synonymous with ocean, as in the tropical sea or down to the sea shore, or even sea water referring to water of the ocean. Large lakes are sometimes referred to as inland seas, such as the Great Lakes. Many seas are marginal seas, in which currents are caused by ocean winds; others are mediterranean seas, in which currents are caused by differences in salinity and temperature.\n\nhttp://www.iho.shom.fr/PUBLICATIONS/download.htm

I don't know how big waves you like to board, but I'll give you the rundown.  On O'ahu, there is always North Shore.  I'll tell you, you're going to be fighting the crowds though.  Everyone is trying to get in a photo mag and show their shit, so I'd avoid the popular spots (like Backdoors, Pipeline, etc).  There are plenty of places up north to surf that are less crowded.  Pull on the side of the road just about anywhere during a big swell and you'll find spots.  \n\nOn the east side there is Makapu'u and Sandy Beach.  Makapu'u gets some NNE swells and is monsterous at times.  I was in the water for a 12 foot local scale set and I about shit myself, mainly because it's a closeout on the beach.   However, most of the time it is not like this but of a decent rideable size.  Sandys is the same way, although somewhat smaller.  I don't like it here because it's always crowded, but don't let that hold you back.\n\nOn the west side, there's Tracks and Makaha, but both are predominantly surf spots.  Basically, if there are waves, you can find a spot.  Even in town on goood days you can go to Bowls or Kewalos.  \n\nAs for the other islands, on Maui there is Suicides, Makena, and Ho'okipa (among hundreds of others).  On the Big Island, most people go to Hapuna, Kua Bay, Makalawena, or one of the tourists spots in Kona.\n\nHappy hunting!

The place that took my breath away the most was the Bay of Islands and the Coromandel coast in the North Island, NZ.  Absolutely beautiful.  There's also a really beautiful mini gorge on the Findhorn river in Scotland that is stunning in a quieter sort of way.  The highlands (Scotland, again) are really beautiful and I love the South Downs in England, they're very beautiful in a green and pleasant sort of way.

Rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, just anywhere with enough water to make you floating well...more options than public swimming pools.

Australasia is the area that includes Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and the many smaller islands in the vicinity, most of which are the eastern part of Indonesia.

The Tasman Glacier is the largest of several glaciers which flow south and east towards the Mackenzie Basin from the Southern Alps in New Zealand's South Island. It is 27 kilometres long and as much as three kilometres wide, and is entirely within the borders of Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.

I highly recommend the Big Island of Hawaii. The underwater lava formations make for some GREAT diving, it's kind of lick diving on some strange planet but underwater of course. Good visibility, Great wildlife, check it out! They also have a night time Manta Ray dive with hughe manta rays, there is nothing like it. Have fun.

Also not mentioned... almost anywhere there's water.  That includes the upper atmosphere, the air you breath, living inside of plants and even cells, antartica, from the bottom of the ocean to the surface, in everything you eat, inside rocks; the list goes on.
