Surf Spot : Sumba Indonesia

A wild and remote island, Sumba's pristine extensive coastline is largely unexplored and unknown to most surfers. Sumba featured heavily in the Rob Machado film, Drifter and Nihiwatu, often referred to as Occy's left, is to most surfers, the only known break there. I have visited Sumba numerous times and know of 3 other world class lefts and 3 other world class rights as well as another area that has 5 high quality waves in one bay. And this is only what I know from my limited exploration of Sumba’s coastline. A big problem with looking for waves in Sumba is the lack of roads and access to the coast. On our way down to Timor while sailing through Sumba we passed by a stretch of very fun looking peaks and then moored for a few hours at the end of a long series of long right handers that I had not seen before. We only viewed Sumba’s east coast from a distance but the potential of this extensive string of beaches, points and bays is massive. With the Lambo and our scout boat we will be checking every potential nook and cranny with comfort and ease.
