Arrive Nias in the morning, car picks you up and you're out to Asu for lunch and your first afternoon surf session. 5 more full days of surf with double or triple sessions out front at Asu, or double session days off the speedboat at other waves if conditions require. On day 7, get an early surf or enjoy a lazy morning with breakfast, catch the 8am boat out to Nias for the 13:00 flight.
The most popular package, giving plenty of time to almost guarantee a solid swell and plenty of pumping days in between. Maximize your time by leaving in the afternoon on your last day and spending a night on Nias before flying out the next day. Most guests that stay 10 nights surf 5 different waves in the area, some less, some more.
An extended package for those with more time. See Asu go through a full moon cycle, watch it work on all tides, experience different swell directions, and see all the faces of Asu in one trip. Guarantees you'll see a big swell and surf multiple waves around the neighborhood.
Spend 11 nights at Asu Camp and 3 nights in Lagundri Bay on a strike mission. Lagundri Bay is one of the best right-handers in the world, but can be flat or onshore. The strategy: stay at Asu where it's twice the size and no crowds. When strong NW winds come up and the swell pumps from the south, head to Lagundri for pumping, perfect, mechanical right-hand perfection. Show up when it's firing and bail when it's over - the best way to deal with the Lagundri crowd.
Get into "Island Time" and slow yourself down. This extended stay lets you feel the peace in this place while scoring the barrels you've been dreaming about. Plenty of time to explore all 11 surf spots in the area across varying conditions.
The ultimate extended stay. A full month to immerse yourself in island life, surf every break in the area multiple times, and truly disconnect from the outside world while scoring consistent waves.
