NUSA TENGGARA ISLANDS

An almost forgotten and neglected area of Indonesia: Nusa Tenggara or the Lesser Sunda Islands is an unbeatable wave rich area but without the hype of other famous surf areas. With over 500 islands, it is obvious that local knowledge plays a major role in the overall experience. Lefts and rights, hollow and mellow, this area is loaded with waves. Swell is never an issue here, as it is exposed to the Indian Ocean swells from 180 to 270 degrees! Besides surfing the East Nusa Tenggara islands, the SAMA-SAMA will also take you to solitary beaches, fascinating diving sites and stone-age megalithic villages.

Famous waves and lesser-known gems. Lakey Peak, Super Suck, Scar Reef, Yo-Yo’s and Desert Point. These are only the really well known waves on this route, but scratch the surface of the eastern Nusa Tenggara area and other fantastic waves appear. Discover an exciting mix of cobblestone points, sheltered mechanical perfection and exposed swell magnets - a truly wave rich area normally explored by land. Due to the nature of some of the envisaged spots, we recommend this trip for intermediate to advanced surfers.
