No Indo strike mission is complete without a few bumps in the road But in the end, the allure of warm water, pumping waves and hospitable vibes always outweighs any struggles to get there.
India Robinson, Sophie McCulloch, Isabella Nichols, and Ellie Harrison found that out during a recent trip to Sumbawa as they battled with the infamous airline surfboard tax and other travel hiccups.
The trip was captured as part of an edit put together by Surfing Australia for their mySURF TV YouTube channel. Here what they had to say about the trip:
“No fluff, just surfing. An Indo strike mission through the eyes of some of Australia’s finest. Lakey Peak needs no intro—perfect A-frames, shallow reef, and endless opportunities to push limits.
“India Robinson, Sophie McCulloch, Isabella Nichols, and Ellie Harrison dropped into the heart of Sumbawa, showcasing raw talent and style while gearing up for next year’s Championship Tour and Challenger Series.
“But Indo trips always come with their quirks. From battling the infamous surfboard tax at the airport to navigating the unpredictable rhythms of travel in Indonesia, it’s all part of the experience. Throw in the local culture—warm smiles, food, and a vibe like no other—and you’ve got more than just a high-performance strike mission.”
