Everyone knows that the waves in Indonesia are superb. To get away from the crowded Bali waves and heading for a more exotic experience, try to go to Nias Island, where you’ll find Lagundri Bay. The accommodation is simple but comfortable, the food is excellent and the local people are warm and friendly! The waves here are guaranteed to be uncrowded (or less crowded!).

While most young surfers are focused on competing and qualifying for the WCT, it is a refreshing change of pace to see someone stoked to go out and explore the unknown, traveling off the beaten path and forging their own trail.
