Who has made the trip? Was it truly worth all the extra time, expenses, planning, effort, etc. (compared to a trip to Central America)? Did it live up to your expectations, after I assume many years of fantasizing about it? Did you score the best waves of your life? Did the crowds ruin everything? Will I regret it if I don't go while I'm relatively young (32 right now)? Eager to hear any thoughts or stories...

Unless you are Kelly Slater you are gonna have to wait.
'The Indonesian government couldn't reopen its doors to foreign travellers until the end of 2020 as we remain a red zone,' I Wayan Koster said in a statement. 'The situation is not conducive to allowing foreign tourists to come to Indonesia, including to Bali.' |

Quite possibly the best YouTube channel, especially if your a goofy footed surfer. No drama, all silence and only perfect waves!

its killing me. Its like watching the food channel on a hunger strike. The guy posts videos EVERY single day and the surf never ever gets terrible. I should have went when I had the opportunity. Who knows now. |

There is a higher concentration of world class breaks in Indonesia than anywhere else in the world, especially in the Mentawais. I've definitely experienced the best surf of my life there and would recommend the trip to any hard core surfer. You only live once...go for it.

And do it before you get too old. Yes, you can still surf in your 50's but it is not the same as it once was, trust me.

It's hard to tell when things might open up. A few people might be getting vaccinations by the end of the year, fast and halfway accurate testing is coming, and might really help air travel. Thailand is hesitating about reopening to tourists, important because flights from US and Europe to Indonesia tend to go via Bangkok or Singapore.

I was 55 and went for three weeks.
Water was beautiful, spots were found with good waves nobody out,
Prices were cheap. This was 13 years ago. Culture is fascinating.
