Luke Gerson visits Mandiri Beach Club

July 31, 2012 | Words By: Luke Gerson

With Indonesia in peak season, what better time to sneak up to our northern neighbour for a couple of weeks of warm water waves?


The Mandiri Beach Club in south Sumatra played host to us for a destination feature for Surf Resort Finder. You can check the full article online here - On Location // Mandiri Beach Club

Straight out the front of the camp you’ve got a great beach break, a short drive north or south will you some clean reefs and points, and if you want to dig a bit deeper there’s a couple of heavy options too.

Big thanks to Dan, Chris, Tim and Tom from the Mandiri Beach Club for putting the trip together.
