Sumatra is the best surfing ground in Indonesia and probably in the whole world. The constant swells originating far in the southern Indian Ocean, in the stormy "Roaring Forties", travel up north thousands of miles loosing strength and gaining period. When they reach the tropical islands off Sumatra's western coast, situated right at the Equator where the winds are very light (the "doldrums"), the

y break over coral reefs shaped by those same waves over many millennia. These unique conditions of constant swells with long periods, light winds and perfectly shaped coral reefs, originate the best waves in the world. PERFECT GLASSY BARRELS are the most common surfing conditions around here. And as if this wasn't enough, the weather in these hundreds of Sumatran islands is beautiful for humans, with both air and sea water temperatures varying between 25-30º C / 75-85º F all year round. Desert white sandy beaches surrounded by coconut trees and crystal clear water complete the paradisiac scenery. This is really a surfing paradise with wave options for all levels and tastes. VIAGENS DE BARCO AO PARAÍSO DO SURF DESDE 2007
Centenas de picos e condições perfeitas fazem da Sumatra o maior “playground” de ondas do mundo e um desafio para qualquer surfista. Mentawai, Telos, Nias, Hinako e Banyak são os arquipélagos ao largo de Sumatra que exploramos consoante o programa e percurso escolhido. O clima tropical, água morna e ondas perfeitas de todos os tipos são o denominador comum a todas as ilhas da Sumatra, um paraíso de surf com opções para todos os níveis e gostos.

Second trip of 2024 done.
Shoulder season is the new High Season. Scoring Macaronis, LancesRight, LancesLeft, Thunders and other mythic waves without the crowds is nearly impossible during peak season, but very likely in March and November. Think about it.

Haven't posted for a while, but for a good reason, been busy with back to back trips in one of the best runs of swell in my memory.

Late take off straight into a blind barrel. Sometimes all I need is luck...😄 Our last surf trip was one to remember: lots of barrels and zero crowds. This was another exclusive session for our boat, at Roxy's, Mentawai.

One of my best waves during our trip to Mentawai in August. This board is a 6'2 quad with 31 liters volume. I love surfing quads on my backhand, more drive and increased grip in hollow waves like this. I'll surf this board till it snaps 😄 Thank you @sinatra_ando for the 📸 📸 📸 🙏🙏 www.sumatrasurftrip.com #surf #surftrip #boat_trip #mentawai #no_crowds #only_barrels #epic_surftrip #perfect_waves #surfingindonesia #surfing_mentawai #thebestsurftripever #bestwavesofyourlife #theresnoplacelikesumatra #salty_crew #salty_crew_europe

Bankvault is one of the hardest waves to surf in the Mentawai. Last trip we had the privilege of sharing the lineup there with @nicvonrupp and watch live the art of tube riding.
