 |
The full force of Indian Ocean swells hits the islands off the west coast of Sumatra - Nias and the Mentawai region are well known, but numerous reefs and islands have similar exposure and awesome surf. All the best spots can be accessed by live-aboard boats, and a larger, long-range boat will open up the biggest range of possibilities. Ideally, the live-aboard boat is accompanied by a smaller speedboat, to check out breaks quickly and access those in shallower water.
