ENQUIRE HERE

ESCAPE TO THE BREATH-TAKING SHORES OF NIAS, NORTH SUMATRA

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!

TESTIMONIALS

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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:

  • Wake up and check the waves from your beachfront accommodation
  • Breakfast and a pre-surf briefing
  • First coached surf session (individual feedback and in-water guidance)
  • Time to rest, recover, and have lunch
  • Second surf session in the afternoon (with specific goals to work on)
  • Relax and unwind
  • Dinner followed by video analysis and coaching review


  • Start dates: Join on Sunday October 5th, 12th, or 19th
     
  • Trip length: Choose 10 days or 14 days
     
  • Arrival & departure days: First and last day are for travel (no surf sessions)
     
  • Surf days: You’ll get 8 full surf days on a 10-day trip, or 12 full surf days on a 14-day trip
     
  • Flexible flow: Surf sessions are always planned around tides and swell for the best conditions


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. 


Our suggested packing list (of course this will vary from person to person):

  • Your surf gear (duh!): surf board(s), wax, leash(es), fins, zinc, sunblock, hat, rashie, etc.
  • Reef walking shoes are optional
  • Sunglasses
  • light, long sleeve t-shirt
  • Esp. for the girls: light, long pants or a skirt for when we visit the local village and the King's Village
  • A sarong
  • A towel
  • Strong sandals/thongs
  • Mosquito repellent
  • Reusable water bottle - Indonesia has enough plastic as it is ...
  • ATM is available
  • We do strongly advise to get insurance
