Off the coast of Sumatra, a cluster of remote islands awaits. A surf paradise from intermediate surfer to advanced pro. Waves are consistent year-round and our goal is to get away from the crowds.

SURF SEASONS FOR ALL LEVELS

Medium-sized waves, light winds and lower crowds make October to April a great time for intermediate surfers. Travel in May to September if you're looking for pumping and strong waves.

The dream surf trip

Wake up on a boat to the sight of pristine tropical waves breaking with no one in the water. Uncrowded world-class intermediate lineups are waiting for you. Get ready to catch the best wave of your life.

Sumatra SURF GUIDE (SINCE 2007)

11 nights lost with friends in one of the most remote (and wave-rich!) regions on earth

Join a group of likeminded surfers

Embrace the Spirit of Adventure

Your trip starts in Padang, Sumatra. From there, you'll cruise West together with a bunch of new surf addicted friends. Surf from sunrise to sunset and catch the waves of your life !

Expert surf guide onboard

On each trip we are traveling together with an expert surf guide. Their knowledge of the atolls and swell and wind conditions help us make sure that we are in the right spot, at the right time. Their contacts with other charter boats and guides help us avoid crowds every time that's possible.

Surf: from sunrise to sunset

Most of our days on the boat will start with a sunrise check of the nearest surf spot. Surf, eat a filling breakfast and get back into the water before the sun hits its highest point. After lunch it's time to chill for a bit before returning in the water for a sunset session. We love surfing.

Find your surfing tribe

You will be joining a group of international stoked surfers. Get ready to share stories, beers and unforgettable moments in and out of the water.

Kaimana and Melaleuca boats

The Kaimana and Melaleuca are sister boats built for comfort, space and long days chasing waves. At 24 metres in length, they feel solid and stable at sea, with a generous layout that makes life on board easy and relaxed.

Both boats run on two 320 hp main engines, adding an extra layer of safety and reliability for remote surf missions. On board, you will find six comfortable cabins with large bunk beds, a mix of double and triple setups. All cabins are fitted with air conditioning and fans. Bathrooms are shared, with two WCs serving the guest areas.

The social spaces are designed for downtime between sessions. You will find a large indoor lounge with sofas, TV and internet. The dining areas are indoor and outdoor, while the top deck is the perfect place to stretch out, watch the horizon and keep an eye on the next set rolling through.

For surf access and support, each boat is equipped with two tenders powered by outboard engines. These are used for getting to the breaks, surf photography and easy access to beaches and reefs.

Life on board is run by an experienced Indonesian crew of seven, including the captain, engineer, chef and assistant chef, plus three deckhands. You are also guided by an experienced western surf guide on every trip. A professional photographer often joins the journey as well, available as an optional extra to capture the sessions and moments in between.

The Boat's maximum capacity is 12 guests.
