Most people bring 2-4 boards. Check baggage allowances with your airline before booking. Mid length boards and guns generally get used and occasionally the short boards get pulled out.

Remember to bring extra leg ropes and tropical surf wax.

• 2 or 3 Pairs of Board Shorts

Unfortunately the days of surfing alone at the famous breaks are pretty much gone – it can still happen but you shouldn’t expect it. Our number one goal is to avoid crowds whenever possible. The beginning (January-March) and the end (October to December) of the year are usually less crowded OR ask the skipper to take you to the “less famous” waves to increase your chance of surfing without too many people. Don’t worry, you will get plenty of waves!

Fly to Padang via Jakarta with Garuda Airlines or via Kuala Lumpur with Air Asia. Purchase tickets online direct on the airlines website. Please do not use Scoot Air via Singapore as they will leave your board bags behind. Please check with us before booking your flights.
