Happy New Year!

A massive thanks to everyone who helped make our 15th year in business our busiest year ever!

For those who haven’t booked a trip to Sumatra in 2023, the main surf season is shaping up to be a busy one. Maybe it’s time to consider a shoulder season trip to the Mentawai islands instead, where you’ll have a great chance of scoring waves like "Burgerworld" throughout your trip!

And next year, we promise to post more on social media 🤟😄

Things are looking up 👆for Indonesian travel ✈️
Indonesia could trial a "vaccinated travel lane" in the 1st quarter (by March 2022) says "minister of tousism & creative economy" - that would skip current quarantine restrictions 🙏

Sandiaga Uno, Indonesia's minister of tourism and creative economy, discusses the possibility of waiving quarantine for vaccinated travelers. He says "everyt...

Although Indonesia has been officially open now (with a few caveats) for the last month, good news is that quarantine restrictions are decreasing.

Visitors are only required to quarantine for 4 nights (4 x 24hrs) rather than 8 nights as previously required when Indonesia first opened. In the coming months, we anticipate this to reduce further.

Currently, these are the requirements upon entry into Jakarta:

Fully Vaccinated
Valid B211A Visa (we can help with this!)
Fill out E-HAC
Negative PCR test
Quarantine booked hotel (4 x 24hrs)

After quarantine and a negative PCR test, you're free to go!

DM us for any more questions! 🤟

"Bat caves" is fairly average right hander (by mentawai standards), but still worth a check while passing by. A long point break style wave that wraps around a tiny tropical island, the wave breaks for a few hundred yards offering fast walls, playful sections and even the occasional head dip.

Jordy Smith + HT's = mesmerising surfing.

Combine one of the most fluid modern day surfers with one of the worlds best right handers and this is what you end up with! Jaw dropping stuff.

Pistols is a fantastic option when the swell drops. Located a few hundred meters further down the reef from the "Rifles" take off zone, this wave can offer a bit of everything from tubes, to walls and even an air section. Perfect in a small southerly swell with north winds, its certainly a great option in the Playgrounds surf zone, especially in low season from November to March.

🎥

Stay at Kandui Resort, by far the closest surf resort in the region (less than 10 mins away):

One of the most photogenic waves in the entire Mentawai Islands, Green Bush is a picture perfect tube, that breaks on a high tide combined with a south swell. Experienced tube frothers only.

Lying off the southern coast of Simeulue on Pulau Tapah, Tea Bags is a smoking right hander breaking on shallow reef that freight trains relentlessly for up to 150m. Challenging, hollow, and often perfect, this wave is thick, hard and square and is ideally surfed with a bit of extra foam so you get into the wave nice and early. T-Bags can handle up to triple over-head, but also works from around just over head high. Although it’s a wave capable of delivering the best barrel of your life, it’s generally advised for more experienced riders only, as well as reef booties for some added protection. To reach the island it takes approximately 30 minutes from Simeulue.

🎥 Simeulue Surf Lodges

The closest surf camps are based in front of Dylan's Right - including Simeulue Surf Lodges that are around 30 mins away by speedboat.

Mentawai Surf Camps & Charter Boats (and a whole lot more)

No one knows the Mentawais Islands like we do.

For over 2 decades we’ve travelled to every corner of Sumatra, hand-picking the best camps & charter boats along the way. Our recommendations are based on experience rather than what we’ve read in a brochure. Hopefully our opinion is a stamp of approval that will give you the confidence in booking a trip with us.

Tailor made surf vacations

It’s not easy trying to figure out the perfect surf trip. If you contact a camp directly, lets face it, they’ll tell you what you need to hear because they want your business! At Surf Camp Sumatra we do things differently because we can make suggestions based on your needs thanks to our experiences. Whether you’re after a cheap trip, a family getaway or just looking for some uncrowded surf - then you’ve come to the right place.
