IL SURF IN HINAKOS ISLANDS

Asu si trova nelle isole Hinakos, fuori dalla costa di Nias, in Nord Sumatra, Indonesia. La zona e' meno affollata delle isole Mentawai e Asu e Bawa ospitano alcune onde world class e 4 altri secret spots. Durante la stagione di surf (aprile-ottobre) questa regione e' piu' esposta rispetto a Mentawai, Telos o Banyaks. Probabilmente una delle ultime frontiere surf in tutto il mondo, con garanzia di onde meno affollate rispetto alla Mentawai, con un massimo di 15 persone in line up e, a volte potete surfare del tutto soli! Spots consigliati a surfisti intermedi o esperti. Di fronte al resort rompe l'onda di Asu, sinistra con tubi e pareti verticali di 200 metri! Possiamo anche organizzare surf trips per Nias e offriamo servizio di photo/video session.
