Located in Nias, Indonesia, Afulu is a fun reef break that offers up a good left-hander perfect for ripping turns and hacks as well as the odd barrel section. This is the spot to be when other places are maxed out. The waves here can be challenging to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a coral reef.
