'Sjalina' was customised 3 years ago for the very purpose of surf charters and to make cruising the far north of Indonesian waters a simple pleasure. 'Sjalina' has been a champion game fishing boat in the waters of Indonesia before converting to do surfing charters. She still boasts much of the equipment that made her a champion amongst vessels!
Onboard you have a dedicated crew of only 3, so there is ample space to relax and enjoy your surroundings ... the crew are there purely to take you on an epic adventure through one of Indo's last surfing frontiers!
Taking all the hassle out of getting there, North Sumatran Surfing charters offer you the travelling surfer a complete package entailing everything you require from your arrival in Medan. That's right your package will include overnight accommodation, domestic flights to Simeulue, transfer to the vessel and most importantly 11 nights all inclusive surf charter!

Additional Extra's:
*The crews that are employed on our surf charter vessels work extremely hard to provide good customer service. Getting you into the best waves, cooking up great meals and keeping you entertained isn't an easy job. Whilst tipping in Indonesia is not expected or obligatory, it is certainly appreciated. The general rule of thumb is to present the captain or host with any gratuity tips at the end of the charter, with all monies being divided up equally amongst the crews.*

Long and almond barrelled left that consistently has swell. Holds big swells, can get challenging. Wraps around the reef presenting a huge wall to charge.
Bawa - Hinako Islands
Right hand reef break with shifting peaks that break into a grinding barrel section. Good when Asu is blown out
Bay of Plenty - Banyak Islands
Consistent and known for several breaks that include two lefts and a right hander. The outside left is a long fast breaking point with the inside left being mellow which breaks in the middle of the bay. The right is a short barrelling wave. Located on the largest of the Banyak islands.
Cobra Logs - Banyak Islands
Cobra Logs or Treasure Island left is on the otherside of the bay to the right. This left hand reef break picks up more swell than the neighbouring right hander and gets perfect when it has the correct swell direction, breaking long and fast. Located on the furtherest western island in the Banyak group.
Indicators - Lagundri Bay, Nias Island
Further out into the bay this is a serious wave. Holds big swells and gets super hollow. Suicidal charter guests only need apply.

Pulau Pinang - Banyak Islands
Challenging shallow right hander, when conditions are right can be a great wave. Located on a nearby island off the largest of the Banyak islands.

A very challenging and solid right hander that freight trains down the reef when the swell is up,very fast,very hollow wave. Located around the Simeulue's group of islands.
Thailand Lefts & Rights- Simeulue Islands

The Point - Lagundri Bay, Nias Island
The Point is one of the worlds best righthanders, that just peels off through the bay. This place has it all, gets perfect, holds big swells, barrelling sections with incredible walls to shread.
