Guests staying at Sumatra Surf Resort will have easy access to the regions premier wave, Ujung Bocur. Although views of the line-up from your bungalows aren't possible, you're never too far from the lookout tower that gives a pretty good view of the wave. The wave itself is just a short 5 minute walk away. 

As soon as you've checked in, you're free to surf! Most guests prefer to spend most of their time surfing Ujung Bocur, but others prefer to mix it up and also surf elsewhere. The staff can always rent you a motor bike (approx $5/day with rack) and give you directions to the other waves.
