The Stormrider Surf Guide: Java and Bali

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Java and Bali

Bali is where it all started, first in the 1930s at Kuta, then reignited with interest by the discovery of Uluwatu in the early '70s, tantalisingly portrayed to the fledgling surf travel community in the seminal film Morning of the Earth. The Bukit peninsula soon became synonymous with perfect barrels as more world-class waves were introduced to an insatiable surf world and Aussie surfers quickly bumped Bali to the top of the annual pilgrimage list. Not to be outdone by it's nearest neighbour, Java managed to trump the Bukit beauties with a wave so vast and perfectly formed, that G-Land is now the yardstick by which all waves are measured.

The Stormrider Surf Guide: India and the Bay of Bengal

The Stormrider Surf Guide: India and the Bay of Bengal

A whole sub-continent of waves have largely been ignored by the traveling surf tribes for the best part of half a century and aside from Sri Lanka, very few countries in the Bay of Bengal would be considered true surf destinations. This is not to say there is no surf - quite the opposite in fact - but India, Myanmar and Thailand are on a completely different travel agenda, so few bother to lug a board round for what most perceive as 2ft monsoonal wind slop. The reality is there are days of real quality to be had on all these coasts during their on season, with surprising wave height, power and shape.

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Sumatra

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Sumatra

If you asked a cross-section of surfers where in the world they would most like to go surfing, the answer would invariably be the Mentawai Islands. This remote, equatorial chain is strung out on the front line of the Indian Ocean swell barrage and possesses an embarrassment of riches when it comes to perfect reef bathymetry and flaccid, wavering winds. And that's not all that Sumatran waters have to offer with a hamper full of tasty waves on Nias, the Hinakos, the Banyaks and the mainland province of Lampung, home of the Sumatran Pipeline.

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Nusa Tenggara

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Nusa Tenggara

The Southeastern Islands" of Nusa Tenggara string out across the NE border of the Indian Ocean, forming a barrier to the Banda Sea and beyond that, the mighty Pacific. Also called the Lesser Sunda Islands from Bali east, there is nothing lesser about them in surfing terms, with each major island hosting at least one world-class wave including probably the world's best wave, Desert Point on Lombok. This area should attract surfers by the thousands, but in true Indo style, it is not so simple. While surf camps draw in visitors to a few prime spots, the rugged terrain and sparse infrastructure have left many coasts wild and undeveloped, offering the sort of vibe and exploration potential that existed on Bali 30 years ago.

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Maldives

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Maldives

It's strange to think that the lowest, flattest country in the world is in fact perched atop one of the most impressive mountain ranges on the planet and that these lofty peaks are flecked with sand instead of snow. From the Lakshadweep Islands off India's west coast all the way to the British Indian Ocean Territories of Chagos, the 2000m high Deccan Plateau is a result of two tectonic plates meeting. The magma spewed out, massive volcanoes were formed, before sinking back into the sea, leaving behind the rings of limestone and coral we now call atolls. Circular reefs and their passes have turned out to be a pretty good shape for wave creation and this chain just happens to have 26 atolls slung across 2200km (1370mi) of ocean that receives plenty of pulses from the Great Southern Ocean.
