Indonesia
Indonesia is a country located in Southeast Asia that consists of over 17,000 islands, famous for its beautiful beaches and rich surfing culture. One of the must-visit places for surfers is Bali, an island known for its world-class surfing spots. Apart from Bali, there are many other great surf spots in Indonesia, such as Mentawai Islands (West Sumatra), G-Land (East Java), and Nias (North Sumatra). The waves in Indonesia are suitable for all levels of surfers, and the best time to surf is during the dry season, from April to September.
Intermediate Level
The two fundamental moves in surfing—the bottom-turn and the cutback—are what make a surfer at this level. On a shoulder-high wave, an Intermediate surfer is able to tilt the board and launch themselves without incident. The bottom-turn, which is surfing’s primary turning maneuver, is regarded as the sport’s foundational move since it allows for riding waves with an open face. The cutback is the second most crucial turn. It enables the surfer to avoid getting caught in the slowest region, known as the “shoulder of the wave,” and return to the wave’s energy source. An intermediate surfer knows how to duck dive, maintain a linear trajectory on the surf line, and how to bail out without hurting himself and others in the process. In addition, an intermediate level surfer knows how to read surf reports and plan his session(s) in advance.
