Do you always have PWC backup when you're riding waves in offshore conditions? If not, how do you cope with getting back to shore when things go bad?

If you had a few months free before being chained down by work where would you go for world class wave riding in the Nov-Jan time frame? What are your favorite wave spots around the world?

Thanks.
