Most famous waves

ASU
WORLD CLASS LEFT HAND – REEF BREAK
At the northern tip of tiny Asu island you will find this impressive long and barreling wave on top of a shallow reef. Speed is essential to make some of the pinching sections and it gets heavy at size, which it handles with ease. It requires the exactly opposite wind conditions of Bawa to work with perfection.

More than just surfing…
Fishing, snorkeling, stand up paddle… it’s all up to you!
Although surfing is the main activity in our surf trips, there are many other things to do during your journey. The islands have plenty tasteful fish swimming around and some exciting catches always happen during the trip.
These islands are one of the most stunning locations on earth, most of them with beautiful white sandy beaches and coconut trees surrounded by crystal clear waters, live coral reefs and a large variety of marine life, offering that perfect set-up for a snorkeling, stand up paddle or just explore the beaches between surf sessions.
