Choosing the right travelling companion for that trip of a lifetime is a
tough task, yet Stormrider Surf Stories makes life easy by offering
something for everyone who is on a journey of enlightenment through
Indonesia. This insightful hoard of fact and stranger than fiction
showcases the cultural depth and natural beauty of this incredibly rich
land and brings together many of the greatest tales from Aceh to the
Arafura Sea. Join the pioneers and share their experiences as they hack
their way through the jungles of Nias, the Mentawai Islands, G-Land,
Sumbawa and Sumba, searching for the perfect wave around the next
headland. Feel the terror as survivors recount their flirtation with
disasters as big as the Boxing Day tsunami and Bali bombings or as small
and personal as getting lost or falling overboard. Alongside these
all-action adventures, heavyweight surf scribes probe the undercurrents
of Indonesian surf culture and attempt to plot a course using a
sustainable moral compass, through this vast nation of islands. This
compendium of Stormrider Surf Stories will delight both the road-weary
Indo traveller and the inquisitive intern, looking for a good ol' yarn
to read during the next flat spell.
