About Surfing in Indonesia
The first surfer in Indonesia was the American Bob Koke who surfed the waves at Kuta Beach,Baliin the mid to late 1930s. Because of World War II, Koke left Bali and surfing did not catch on again until the late 1960s and early 1970s when traveling surfers began discovering surf spots off Bali, made especially famous (although they were not named) in the classic surfing filmMorning of the Earthby Albert Falzon. Bali became a stepping-stone for other Indonesian wave discoveries such as Nias, G-Land, and theMentawai Islands. Today, surfing is an industry in Indonesia that includes transportation, accommodation, dining, entertainment, and surfing services and products. Some islands have beach communities that make a living directly from surfing, such as Lakey Peak inSumbawa, Sorake Beach inNia
