Choose Your Sumatra Experience
Sumatra, Indonesia
APRIL TO OCTOBER BODYBOARD SEASON
Uncrowded waves. Endless coast. Pure Indonesia.
South Sumatra is one of Indonesia’s best-kept bodyboard secrets — a wave-rich stretch of coastline offering a laid-back, land-based experience far from the boat-heavy zones of the Mentawais. With long left-hand points, punchy reef setups, and consistent swell from April to October, it’s a go-to for bodyboarders chasing quality without the crowds.
Base yourself right in front of the waves — no boats, no transfers, just ride. Camps and lodges offer a cozy, social vibe with easy paddle-outs and incredible value.
It’s Indo’s wild side — slower, quieter, and made for bodyboarders.
Not Just a Trip — A Movement.
Follow the ride. Go behind the scenes on Quiver missions. From GoPro pits to campfire yarns, reef fails to perfect rides — this is the real pulse of bodyboarding culture. Tag #QuiverTravel to get featured

Reviews from the Lineup
Perfect setup. Wake up, ride, eat, ride again. No boats, no stress, just waves out front.
Liam D.
Way better than expected. Ujung Bocur was pumping and barely anyone out. Would go again in a heartbeat.

I’ve done Bali and the Mentawais but Sumatra felt different. More real. More waves. Less hassle.

Food & Drinks
Flavour, freshness, and ocean views
Every meal is served steps from the surf — think open-air dining, cold drinks, and plates full of colour.
South Sumatra bodyboard camps focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients: grilled seafood, tropical fruits, Indonesian classics, and a few Western comforts when you need them.
Whether it’s sunrise breakfast before your first session, or swapping stories over dinner as the sky turns gold — this is food made for bodyboarders.
