Sumatra is the vast frontier of unexplored surf in Indonesia. Much of its coastline is inaccessible by road, extensive jungled covered mountain ranges run the length of the island and tigers still prowl the jungles and harass local villages. There are miles and miles of coastline that are still unexplored and some of the best surf in the world peels away in Sumatra, most of it still largely unridden. Despite the massive amount of well know surf of the Mentawais, Nias and Krui, I estimate that less than 50% of Sumatran surf is known. The are extensive areas that are pretty much completely untapped. Aceh, Enganno, South Sumatra, the Java Strait, the Banyaks and Telos islands. The fact is most of it is completely unaccessible, except by boat. I'm really looking forward to seeing what we find in Sumatra. The potential is massive.
