- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- Solid south swell, calm wind and big tides, this is what happened in the Lagundri Bay at Nias.
Some stories from Petra and Site from the days:
"Some people said it was the best surf of their life, the conditions were really, really perfect, huge round open tunnels with sometimes up to an 8 second barrel time and no wind or calm offshore.
Even Site (local ripper and owner of Jambuare Lodge Nias) said that it was probably one of the best surf of his life, so it's fair to say this swell was a memorable one!
Enjoy the Nias show from the air this time!

Anyway it was a sick edit

@@lordmuppet4989 Haha, thanks man!
@@fkmori7 Thanks Fabio!
The things I would do to get to surf Nias with a crowd that thin. These guys will have memories for life. I've been two separate times, and each time the line-up for weeks on end was 40-60 plus people. This looks like heaven.
Damn and there I was thinking it was hectic
Be glad you got there. I'm getting old and the hopes of surfing indo are fading. Keep it up lad. Cheers
Nias was the first real surf trip I ever went on, and first time surfing a reef in my life. Eternally grateful to the locals there for calling me into the waves of my life for 9 days straight and sharing some good nights full of arak (even if i couldn't see straight after)
The locals of Nias are awesome!
@@SurfRawFiles i hope they are these days. Some 20 years ago Nias had a very bad rep, and for a reason. Lottsa scams, hustlers and rip-offs.
Almost 25 years since I surfed Nias but this brings it all back. Stoked to see!
Those years must have been epic too! Thanks for watching Mr Craig!
@@SurfRawFiles The early 80s were EPIC!!! Was a hard wave to get to with deadly mozzies waiting but what a wave. The barrel was longer then, the reef has changed a bit.
@@TheZacdes It coud have been so scarry with Malaria around, respect you guys still went for it! Nowdays everything is easy...
same here. Spent 3 month on NIas in 2001 surfing my guts out. Best time of my life. Hammock-Surf-Sleep-repeat for days on end. Got Malaria there as well. was very worth it. Amazing wave.
What a beautiful setup! This is the dream wave for most of us who will never be pro surfers... A steep but makable drop, just enough time to bottom turn back up into the face and then set your line and GO! Great footage and Im jealous!!!
Thanks a lot Rogers!
Glad you enjoyed watching it!
Respect, some of those guys did not look like crazy shredders but they were standing tall through some deep barrels
Thanks a lot for watching C-Jay!
Thanks to visit my Village Nias Island...God Bless You all...
Such an amazing place!!!
Those conditions couldn't be more perfect. Dream backside wave for me. I hope I get to surf it when the crowd is like this.
Thanks for watching Michael!
Fantastic drone/film work!! Love seeing it from a distance like that and seeing the whole wave. Super cool!
Thanks a lot man, glad you enjoyed it!
Exactly .. seeing the whole wave - the reef .. or what it’s breaking on. Nature, not just rider!
@@RS-sv3bl 🙏🙏
One of the best Waves ever !! Amazing
same wave everytime! amazing. the tube tightens up quite a bit at the end, cool to see everyone know that and work it out! great footage. rawfiles rules... no drama!!!
🙏🙏🤘🤘
Post tsunami Nias (for those old enough to remember it before) resembles a green water reverse Chopes with a Padang shoulder / end section🤙
Unbelievable footage. Thanks for sharing. I hope someday I will be able to visit this place and surf!
Thanks a lot Skipper! I hope the best for you to visit Nias!
Good wave and sound of the surf all you need is smell.
Great show.
Thanks a lot David, glad you enjoyed!
Looks great and solid swell,love Nia's as always
Thanks a lot for watching!🙏🤘
THIS WAVE 🌊 EPIC 🤩🔥
Thanks Tiffany so much, hope you can surf it one day too!
Its indeed one of the best right-handers on earth!
Very nice video the drone is a Nice perspective 👍Fantastic surfers
Thanks Freg for watching!
Now we know how KS modeled the wave at his Surf Ranch! Perfection 🤙
Hahaha,that's a good one, thanks for watching!
Nice waves... I got to agree
Thanks Honu,glad you enjoyed the edit!
Amazing. Thanks for the upload. Very lucky crew!
Thanks a lot Ben!
Crazy water jet out the back there. Haven't seen that before 3:00
Beautiful footage thank you.
Thanks a lot Tommy for watching!
Perfect waves
Thanks Kadek, glad you enjoyed it!
Not for a decade mate. 8/10
So perfect.. 👍👍
Thanks Misbakhul for watching!
Short wave but a freight train tube ride!
It's a perfect wavemachine
Glorious
Thanks a lot Tom for watching!
That’s off it’s Chops 🤘👊
🤘🙏
Wave is legit
Can't wait to get there and break the mold by doing a cut back when i exit the barrel :D
Nice!!!!!
Thanks a lot man!
Im glad the title of this was a question
Nias is just far enough to get to that its almost never a packed lineup and the swell is 12 months a year. To me, nias and mentawais in general is the best place on the planet for surf. And unlike the mainland the local vibe is pretty chill there.
I agree 100% with you, also my favorite 2 places for surf!
The mentawis are a fucking joke.
@Michael Kean so crowded man. Early days where good but seemed like everyone who could afford it had a charter in the water. Just better places to go now that are less crowded and cheaper. Beautiful place I just hate crowds.
So Jelly
Thanks for watching it bro!🙏🤘
Nice waves ☺️🌊
Thanks for watching Starry, glad you like them!
Helmet man got it wired👍
He got definitely a few bombs!
Why can’t the south side of Huntington pier break like that?
so beautifull
Thanks man , glad you enjoy RawFiles!🙏🤘
Does anybody ever surf that big wave out the end of the jetty?
Raerly,the wave is called indicators and it's a really shallow wave breaking on the reef..
Paradise 😱🤙🤙🤙🤙
Yess Emi! : )
Thanks for watching!
AWESOME!!!!!
Thanks a lot for watching Bruno!
Love this angle!
Thanks guys!
I'd have a go if it was maybe half that size?? Beautiful waves!!
You just need a big board to get in early!
Hero Journey ⛩️⚡
Thanks TiTTo for watching!
epic
Thanks man!
Maybe it's the thin crowd but it has an old-school feel
Haha , that's cool, thanks for watching bro!
In the opening of the vid I see a nice wave going off at the top right of the screen. Does anybody ever surf that ?
That wave is called Indicator, it breaks really close to the reef and only surfable in hightide and still super sketchy, i didnt see anyone surfing it and been at Nias maybe 5 times already for longer time..
Used to be insane with a swell at a very high tide BEFORE the earthquake.
Perfss
Thanks Jerry for watching!🙏🤘
Sick
Thanks a lot Anderson! Glad you enjoy RawFiles!
🔥🔥🤙
Classic
Thanks Derek!
Epic 🤙
I didn't know that surf board riders take turns at riding the waves.
Nias has this rule and this is the way pointbreaks shoud work everywhere around the globe!
does nobody ride that outside break? there were some bombs out there
It's called the indicator and very rarely people surf it,it's no mistakes there ,you have to make the tube!
It’s like the ranch but better
Haha ,never been at the ranch,but I guess real life is better than a "park" wave
Where is Kelly Slater in all of this ?
Haha yeah where is he??
I am looking for a long, mushy left, with a large shoulder and sand bottom, with a light, non-agro crowd. Any recommendations? Turning sixty in two weeks.
Hi!
Maybe check out T-Land at Rote, East Indonesia, or North Mentawais - Good Times!
anyone else see those giants breaking about a mile out?
It's called the Indicator's, it's a super shallow hollow wave..
Do surfers take turns? Is there a line up for waves?
Yes, there is a taking turn rule.
What the point up top called in the intro?
It's called Indicators.
great vid - i thought the wave had been badly damaged from the massive swell that hit and the paving of the reef ?
yeah , there was a big hullabaloo about construction? was it typical indo and half finished.
@@krusher74 i read somewhere it changed the wave and made it worse ( not as long and hollow)
@@krusher74 The construction is done but didn't effect the wave at all luckly, no backwash from the concrete wall, wich was the main stress factor..
At the beginning of the vid there is a wave in the background is it unsurfable?
That is called Indicators, it's a little too fast on most swells but it is surfed rarely.
@@adamburkhart4046 thank you.
Wave pool ?
in what months Nias is smaller and more suitable for longboarding?
Watch my Nias Longboarding RawFiles video for the best condition's from February!
Hi Oren. Nias is so much fun on the longboard. When you ride from the point trough all the sections, you have a pretty long ride :-D The best time is from December until end of March.
@@petraeggenberger5443 can't wait to be back!😜
Never realized it was such a short ride before
But it can be the best 8 seconds of your life.. : )
What’s the wave out the back there?
Called Indicators, it's a heavy wave breaks really close to the reef, only the best surfers try to surf it, it's not an everyday wave..
Why does the water there always look a bit brown and funky?
There is a river in the bay and the channel picks up the sand..
@@SurfRawFiles Yiiiiep, that'd do it
Are the surfers going by turn or who ever is in the right spot?
Normally if it's not overcrowded,yes , people take turns. But if it's more than 10 surfers out,this rule can go down the toilet..
@@SurfRawFiles m
Makes sense! Thanks for the reply!
@@elliesworld4112 Thanks for watching Steve!
why is the water that color
A river mouth is very close ,wich brings the sand to the lineup
Praia? Beach?
Sorake beach!🇮🇩
@@SurfRawFiles 👍🇧🇷
How much would it suck if you hit a bit of wood while getting one of the best barrels of a lifetime...
Haha yeah ,don't let the lip get you..
Went there in 72,besar ombat,heard the rumours went and found ,no one there.Once in a lifetime.Left to go home and waited for the boat at Teluk dalam for two days but we turned around and went back for another week.Words not accurate to describe Gods creation.
Hellyeah,that could have been an amazing times,but scarry with Malaria and the swamps around..
It looks like a wipe out would be painful to watch.
ho non....... Nias a changé...... ce n'est plus la même vague.... j'ai 59 ans ...
that is so game on. intense. I don't like that wave.
Haha are you goofy?
It has to be one of the easiest waves in Indo to surf
Haha well even chops looks easy when ridden perfect right?
If this the best in ten years. That must mean it is not very consistent then.
Its a consistent wave, but of course not as perfect as this two days, mostly because of the wind.
Most perfect way to ruin surf footage, do it from a drone at a 3/4 angle way above a break. Does little justice to how impressive this wave is.
just be grateful you have any footage at all, its free, chill
It's pretty a quick in and out off this, not really a long wave, umm, overrated?
Haha looks like you never surfed this wave..
You gotta be kidding!
et c(est très pollué maintenant. Shame.
Why you have to use such ridiculous titles
Why are you such a hater?
When the locals say so, it has to be true.
