Our Destinations
Over the years Sumatran Surfariis has explored the west coast of Java, in and around Panitan Island, through the Sunda Straits, along the deep bays and points of Southern Sumatra, up along the mighty Sumatran mainland, up to the very tip of Aceh, and out to the many island chains off the Sumatran West coast. We’ve seen it all, and we’ve kept detailed logs of our travels along the way. We’ve also managed to maintain several secrets over the years, and our guests are the only people we share them with.
We have been running trips through the Mentawais’ quiet months for many years now. We have found great little swell magnets to keep you in head high waves between swells while the island chains are virtually empty of surfers. During the busier periods, we travel farther afield, anchoring near empty lineups while the other boats fight for position. Ultimately, our guests have the first choice as to destination, but our skippers are very experienced and always offer their expertise before and during a trip as conditions can change daily.
You won’t find many names of waves listed on our site, but you will visit waves that have many names. We have spent thousands and thousands of days in the islands, and we ask that you trust us on the details to help keep it quiet. We have a great history with the locals, and we have been at the forefront of providing aid to many of the villages.
