Rote

Rote has amazingly density of high quality reefs. The percentage of quality surfable reef here is higher than the Mentawais. Almost every bend in the reef and every corner of an island has a wave. There are three reasonably well known waves: Nembrala, Boa and Sucky Mama’s. In 2010 we discovered many other waves: a fast peeling left that was like a soft version Grajagan's Speedys reef that produced 50 yard barrels, a incredible 400 meter long right hander, a very fast and hollow right, a bombie style left, two more long Nembrala lefts, another world class right, numerous fun beachbreak style peaks and two left points, one that we moored at for a couple of weeks and scored daily perfection all to ourselves. We also sailed past three perfect right hand points in a very isolated area that due to the small swell only showed micro peelers as we sailed past but certainly looked like they would produce perfection on their day. Of all these, only three breaks were accessible by land.

Sumba

A wild and remote island, Sumba's pristine extensive coastline is largely unexplored and unknown to most surfers. Sumba featured heavily in the Rob Machado film, Drifter and Nihiwatu, often referred to as Occy's left, is to most surfers, the only known break there. During our 2010 Odyssey we came across 24 other breaks that varied from fun peaks to world class peelers from shoulder high to triple overhead. A major challenge of surfing in Sumba is the lack of roads and access to the coast, so skirting the coastline in a boat is really the most ideal method of tapping into the massive amount of surf that her southern coastline produces.

Sumbawa

Sumbawa's extensive coastline is jam packed with waves. There really is a phenomenal amount of waves alongs it’s massive southern coast. The world class waves of her west coast and Lakey peak areas are well known these days. We had great waves in these areas in 2010 but we also discovered so many other waves outside these areas. We really had an unbelievable amount of high quality waves here and yet still only scraped the tip of the iceberg of the massive potential of this island.

West Java

West Java has some of the best waves in the world. Incredibly long, hollow and fast peeling points and reefs that pick up a lot of swell. One of our favourite waves of the 2010 Odyssey, an incredible swell magnet that peels away in a pristine isolated bay was in this area. It’s pretty much impossible to pass through here and not get extremely good waves. We had numerous guests of the 2010 Odyssey claim that they caught the best wave/tuberide of their life in this area.

Sumatra

Sumatra is still a vast frontier of unexplored surf. Much of its coastline is inaccessible by road, extensive jungled covered mountain ranges run the length of the island and tigers still prowl the jungles and harass local villages. There are miles and miles of coastline that are still unexplored and some of the best surf in the world peels away in Sumatra. The world class waves of the Mentawais, Nias and Krui areas are well known these days while the Telos and many other areas are still largely unknown and untapped. We had phenomenal waves in this area in 2010.
