If you ever dreamed of catching waves in clear blue water surrounded by palm trees and beautiful beaches then Nias is the place to go!
The main break in Lagundri Bay is “Sorake Point”, a world-class right-hander along the western side of the bay. Nias waves are pretty much pumping all year round, with some bigger waves from July to October.
This trip will give you feedback and support to grow as a surfer - whether that’s improving technique, refining positioning, or developing more confidence on challenging waves. Whatever your goal, the Front Foot Surf team will help you achieve it.
You will leave this trip as a stronger, more confident surfer with memories of sharing world-class waves in a positive, motivating environment.
Let us take you on the surf trip of your dreams!
You can join the Front Foot Surf Nias trip on Sunday, October 5th, 12th, 19th, or 26th. Each trip runs for 10 or 14 days — the choice is yours.
Local to Sorake Beach, Alex has been surfing these waves since childhood and coaching for over a decade in Bali and Nias. A former competitor and sponsored surfer, he’s respected across the surf community — and just as passionate about teaching as he is about surfing.
Known as one of Nias’ most talented young surfers, Jelius is already sponsored and competing at a high level. With his sharp skills and love for sharing the stoke, he’s ready to help you push your surfing to the next level.

I’d heard about Nias before, but never imagined I’d actually get to surf it. Having Alex there made all the difference — he grew up on this wave, knows every detail, and was in the water with us, giving coaching tips that clicked instantly. The surf, the island, the people. By the end, I didn’t want to leave.
I loved the surf trip. It was legendary!
The accommodation, food and cozy atmosphere were great and comfy.
Best coach in Bali I’ve met in 2 years living in Indo. It’s not only about technic but personality. Alex' airs amazing - hehe.
Highly recommend to go with Alex to Nias surf trip if you want to progress! Thank you bro!

In case you're wondering, we've lined up the most FAQ below. Don't be shy to get in touch via hello@frontfootsurf.com if you can't find the answer to your question here.
Sorake is a world-class wave, but don’t let that intimidate you.
If you’re confident catching green waves and ready to push yourself, you’ll get so much out of this trip. With the right mindset (and Alex + Jelius in the water with you), it’s all about progression.
Wave size in October: It’s shoulder- to head-high most days — consistent, playful, and perfect for progressing your surfing. If the swell does pick up, we have a more mellow beach break nearby to surf.
We’ve got your airport pickup and drop-off covered. No need to stress about how to get from the airport to your beach-front accommodation — when you land in Nias, we’ll be waiting for you.
A day might look like this:
Nias is a dream location for any surfer, one of the reasons it is still so pristine is that it is quite remote.
Leaving from Bali it will take you around 12 hours to get there, depending on your travel itinerary. If you have any doubts, get in touch before you book so we can help you find the best travel route.
Leaving from Bali
There are 2 options:
1. Bali (DPS) - Medan (Sumatra) - Nias
2. Bali (DPS) - Jakarta - Medan (Sumatra) - Nias
Leaving from outside of Bali?
Chances are you can fly to Jakarta or even straigth to Medan and skip a flight. Get in touch with us so we can help you book your ticket.
WIFI in your beach front accommodation is solid and similar to Bali. We have many guests who still work a few hours a day while on this surf trip and they never encountered any issues.
However, if you will be working we suggest you to have always have a plan B and make sure you either bring a portable hotspot or you have an unlocked phone with data which you can use as your hotspot.
