Embark on this mystical journey between leisure and personal development...

We will provide sun, sand, and waves that challenge you on your surfing expedition.

Walur Surf House is the first surf lodge in the beautiful village of Walur —located in southwest Sumatra, right in front of the best surf spot in the region.

Imagine yourself in a place where it's just you and nature. Imagine that, for a moment, you are in total harmony with nature and the community around you. Free yourself from everyday life and explore at your own pace what this place and its community have to offer.

Walur Surf House is a tropical lifestyle lodge offering traditional accommodation and meals, as well as surfing, fishing, jungle trekking, and a wide range of cultural activities.

South Sumatra is one of Indonesia's last untouched gems.

With a wide variety of wave types, from heavy slabs to endless point breaks and probably the best beach break Indonesia has to offer. With consistent swell pulled from the Indian Ocean and offshore trade winds almost every day during the dry season, it's very difficult not to get perfect waves during a week-long trip.

The crowd is minimal or non-existent, as South Sumatra has been overlooked by most, with the focus being on the Mentawai Islands in North Sumatra. Access to the waves is easy with the coastal road running for miles along the coast from north to south.

There are 10 more waves along 40 km of lush mountainous coastline, and we are privileged to be at the center of the action, which means we are only a 30-minute drive from the waves furthest from our home. We have over 20 years of experience in identifying potential surfable waves and knowing how to assess the ideal conditions in this area, which will help you be in the right place at the right time.

Here you will find waves for all skill levels: there are point breaks, beach breaks, V-frames, shallow banks, whether you are a beginner, intermediate, soul surfer, or pro surfer, here you will find your favorite wave.

“Nature and its elements are something that transcends us and nourishes us.”

Joao Parisot

Southern Sumatra has not been spoiled by tourists like many other coastal destinations in Indonesia. The locals are friendly and generous, always eager to watch your performance in the water and help you out of the water. The beaches are pristine and litter is minimal, as education about waste disposal in the communities is ongoing.

Located in front of the house, geographically located north of Krui, HS is the favorite wave for lovers of slabs, waves for aerials, and fast sections. Late take-offs are guaranteed, this left-hand wedge will take any surfer on some of the heaviest waves in the area. Often compared to mini "Teahupo'o," this is a paradise for lovers of this type of wave, offering quality tubular waves from one meter to three meters. 

Jimmy's Rights is located 15 minutes (walking) north of the house. Very similar to the "backdoor" wave in Hawaii, the wave is very consistent, very fast, and very perfect. When the wave tube opens, it is as wide as it is high. This thick-lipped right offers absolutely perfect tubes before closing out on a sharp reef in the inside zone. For those looking for a challenge, this is the perfect wave.

Jimmys Lefts is not as heavy as the neighboring right—but it is still a typical wave for that archipelago. It is a wave for intermediate to advanced surfers. It can handle swells of some size, but probably the best is from 1 m to 2 m at mid-tide. This is the kind of wave where, when you take off, you immediately enter the tube, and when you realize you've been in it too long, the advice is to get out before it closes over the shallow coral reef. Jimmy's left will certainly give you a good beating or the tube of your life.

This northern area in particular suffers from exposure to trade winds. If you want to catch good waves here, you have to arrive very early.

About 8 minutes (car/motorbike) south of the house, this fun wave offers long, surfable rights, many of them around 100 meters long. Jenny's offers a little bit of everything—from decent tube sections to big walls for maneuvering. Unlike many of the waves in this area, the entry to the peak (although steep) is relatively easy. Once on the outside, several sections are offered – depending on the size of the swell and its direction. The final section will always close out – and can be quite shallow, but easily avoidable. On this bench, there is always a keyhole that guarantees a paddle to the outside without getting your head wet.
