Surfing the Batu Islands, Indonesia

by: Justin Gural

Located along the equator in the Indian Ocean, just off the west coast of Sumatra, the Batu islands are an archipelago made up of forty-eight islands within the Mentawai Islands.

 

The three primary islands of the Batu's --Pini, Tanahbala and Tanahmasa-- have turned into a reborn surfing hot spot in the Mentawai's after the 2004 tsunami left the region in ruins.

 

In this video, courtesy of Board.TV, the Protest surf team traveled to the Batu's and scored great surf. If you're interested in traveling and surfing in the region, check out Siloinak Surf Resort or Mentawai Syndicate
