North Sumatra surf travel guide

Find trips that fit a flexible lifestyle

If you come here to surf, be conscious of doing some good as well. This is a place to respect. Save your sexual exploits and untamed binge drinking for another port. Sumatra is home to the Mentawis, Nias, Hinakos and Telos Islands. All regions are best accessed by a professional guide / boat. A surf trip here is without a doubt a life changing experience. Not everything here is 6-10 feet breaking on razor sharp reef, a decent guide will be able to find something that suits your individual experience and ability, ideally ramping things up on your final days to really give you some memories to take home with you.
