Tropical Surf Retreat

Tropical Surf Retreat – Sumatra

8 nights, 9 days – 22nd May – 30th May 2026

After two successful surf tours in Bali, we decided to explore a little bit more and now you will have the opportunity to surf with us in an small island off the coast of North Sumatra! Sumatra is most famous for its vast unspoiled jungle, home of Orangutans and it is the 6th largest island in the world!

We partnered with a local surf resort where you will have uncrowded waves all along the south and western side of the island. Within 5 to 75 minutes from the resort, there are at least 10 quality waves where you can experience hollow reefs or mellower beach breaks. Aaron Lock and Mary Rocha will be your hosts and we guarantee good vibes, know-how and full guidance throughout your experience in Sumatra.
