“This might really be paradise… perfect waves, empty lineups, and an untouched slice of Indonesia’s raw beauty.” – Jonathan San Miguel Gonzalez
Jonathan’s trip to Sumbawa, Indonesia, was a dream come true for any surfer. “The waves were perfect, fast, powerful, and incredibly consistent” Jonathan told us. “What made it even better was how many different surf spots were packed into a small area, you can ride a barreling reef break in the morning, then move just a short distance to find a playful, rippable wave in the afternoon.”
Unlike other popular surf destinations, Sumbawa felt untouched Jonathan explained. “There were hardly any tourists, which meant empty lineups and more waves on each session. The locals were some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met, always smiling, always welcoming, and happy to share their beautiful island.”
“But what really stood out was the local surf scene. The young surfers there were absolutely fearless, charging massive waves and pulling off crazy maneuvers with ease. Watching them was both humbling and inspiring.”
“Sumbawa wasn’t just another surf trip, it was an adventure I will never forget.” – Jonathan San Miguel Gonzalez
