7 hours of the closest domestic airport, but apparently worth the ride. Some are so gnarly I don’t want to risk loosing my teeth….īut I had heard of this area, Krui, in the southern part of Sumatra. There are few legendary lefts in Indonesia, of course. Meaning, I want to go anywhere where there is long and beautiful left-hander wave. And we all agreed on going to Indonesia next. We’ve got each other, and we’ve got our surfboards. So here we are: the charter boat drops us off the main island of north Maldives. And Kelly is unafraid of travelling with 3 girls. One of the most funny, smart, easy-going, and caring guys I’ve been given the opportunity to meet. It’s her first big trip and it’s magical to experience the world through her eyes. Raquel, our young protégée, also from Brazil, 19 years old, already surfing better than I ever will. There is Aline, one of my best mates from Brazil, and 7-time national champ in stand-up paddle surf. There are 4 out of the 12 crew members who decide to keep travelling together. Read: 10 days Living on Water -The Trip I Almost Did Not Take After 10 days spent living on a boat, surfing twice aĭay and feeding on curry, tuna and more curry, time to step back onto land and head separate ways. Our trip in the Maldives is coming to an end.
This archipelago known as the mecca of surfing, with hundreds and hundreds of waves to be explored. Especially if you are in love with surfing. These names aren’t foreign no more.Īs you might know, Indonesia is one of those place you’ll most likely find yourself gravitating back towards many times in your life. I bet I had found all these names in a surf magazine left on the coffee table of a cool Canggu store.Įight years later it’s funny to see how things have gone full circle. I knew almost nothing about the surfing universe, and could barely catch waves. Judging by the date, I wrote this on my very first trip to Indo. I find this quick list of places and names of the surf world I had stitched together on September 20th, 2014.Ĭarissa Moore, Gerupuk, Lisa Anderson, Desert Point, and then Krui Sumatra, is in there, at the very bottom. As I am about to write the full chronicle of our recent adventure in South Sumatra, I search #sumatra in my personal Notes app.
