Sumatra
Sumatra is an effortless choice for surfers seeking raw, untouched waves in one of the world’s most wave-rich regions. As Indonesia’s largest island, Sumatra is home to some of the most consistent and powerful surf on the planet, drawing adventurous wave riders in search of perfection. The Mentawai Islands, just off Sumatra’s west coast, are a dream destination, offering legendary breaks like Lance’s Right, Macaronis, and Rifles—flawless barrels groomed by the Indian Ocean’s endless swells. Every surfer dreams of a boat trip through this tropical paradise, scoring world-class waves in crystal-clear waters. Beyond the Mentawais, regions like Krui and Aceh on the mainland provide an abundance of empty lineups, perfect for those looking to escape the crowds. Sumatra’s surf scene is complemented by lush jungle landscapes, remote island vibes, and a welcoming surf culture, making it a fail-safe destination for those chasing adventure and perfect waves.
