[@thegreatestadvice88]

Nias is a machine. It's almost too perfect.

[@jimmartin8579]

Looks so perfect from up high, then like a monster from sea level

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha yeah it's so different the two perspective! Thanks for watching!

I enjoyed my stay at Lagundi Bay very much. It was early September, 1981. The surf rocked every day. The day I arrived it was 15-18 feet, Hawaiian feet. There were very few other surfers there and none of them ventured out that day. I had an 8’ 6” pintail gun made by my buddy, the late Dick Catri, and was perfect for the waves that day. “No more money, No more visa. You can’t stay in Indonesia.” Children’s song some of the Nias kids would sing when it came time for a surfer to leave. Great memories. Glad that I took a lot of photos. I toted a Canon F-1 with a motor drive, numerous lenses plus a Canon 800mm lens as well as a Nikonos with assorted lenses with me to that remote location. 6 months overseas on that trip. Sumatra, Nias, Java, Bali & Hawaii. Caught a lot of killer waves.

Beautiful

[@padthai411]

Wow those are beautiful waves

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks Patrick for watching!🙏🤙

[@eyeswideopen935]

GREAT WORK! Nias has always been my favorite wave that I'll never surf - - - everything about it is beautiful and fascinating...especially it's color - that unique GREEN. You captured every angle and then some - excellent drone work. LOVE the beach shot where surfers disappear for awhile after the drop. Local guys, I'm guessing from the names, and some ladies too - CHARGING! Tons of footage. What more could you want?

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks so much man for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!🙏

[@Unwavering137]

These look like cartoon or comic book waves. They're too perfect to be real.

[@BoomBoom-oh1wq]

Awesome footage 💯🇦🇺🤙🤙

[@claudiocourand3629]

wow high tide almost nobody out sick double ups

[@SurfRawFiles]

It's very difficult to paddle Into thoose double ups in hightide..

[@MyPhone-jd9bm]

thank you thank you thank you for not putting any lame music in this awesome vid (although it was a bit of a scare at the 30 second mark put then I realized it was just someone on the beach). I am curious how you got the drone footage without the drone noise but second mike I guess. I've almost stopped watching surf vids lately cus I'm over the lame soundtracks and almost didn't watch because of that, but I'm glad I took the chance. new subscriber

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks so much for your feedback,it means a lot! And glad you enjoyed the video! Yes , we use Audio recorder on the beach for atmo! Hope you will keep enjoying RawFiles in the future!🙏🤘

[@jeffg4686]

There's a lot of womens surfing I've missed, but pic @0:30 one of the top ones that I can remember. the one of Keala at chopes will always be a standout ... That kinda goes without saying, but this one is certain up there.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Wow that's a big compliment,thanks for watching! Ruby is definitely one of the best female surfer I met!

[@mattoats2223]

Excellent footage,well done, just curious to know why it wasn't packed out there,???

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks Matt! I reccon nobody come for the swell as everywhere in Indo was pumping,plus even from Bali to get to Nias takes two days. There are easier location to go to..

[@jerrybow8779]

I’m in East Java right now, the point I’m staying at has 6 surfers here. Normally every year we come there’s at least 50! Gotta love the pandemic👍👍😂😂

[@sslaia]

I went swimming there a few times when I lived in Telukdalam for 6 months. However once the waves almost killed me (my neck twitched). After that I never dare swimming there when the waves are high.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Be careful, Lagundri Bay is no joke when the swell is big!

[@KOLLIX-AF-DALBACKEN]

I was there in 1995 and just catch one wave standing. Burn my back and lost my friends on cristmusday. We were staying in Titus Bungalow, hallo Titus from three Sweedes whit bikes!

[@jovanblom7742]

Neptune be praised!

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha 🤘🤘

[@mikedewitt5880]

Aloha from hawaii,I surfed it years ago before the reef lifted 3 feet. Still looks good. Maybe better

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks for watching! Must be amazing this winter in Hawaii!

[@Surfmus]

Freaking dope!

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks a lot for watching!🙏

[@ekartinboysndruru4079]

Wow,👍👍👍

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks man for watching

[@sorsapari3596]

ye yeah! It's foken awesome. It would be great to get to see it break like that live. I would stay the FK out on the beach, I know my limits. but if I would come over, would I still find some waves on a 6-8 feet (face of a wave) range around there when that monster is bashing?

[@rossco-dps5392]

At one point there's four people out there.? ??? Also, great footage. Much appreciate your efforts.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks man!Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, it happend after lunchtime, when the tide went full high, it was very hard to paddle into the waves, not many people tried to surf it!

[@naftaligalo4986]

Sorake beach the best..yaahowu from Nias

[@SurfRawFiles]

The best wave in Indo!

[@richardharris5200]

That’s a scary wave

[@richardharris5200]

That girl is freaking a bad ass!!!!!

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha yes ,Ruby ripps!

[@jotacanosa4171]

scary as hell

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks man! Yeah it was some crazy double ups!

[@andilarosa3643]

Wow

[@johnbrown1851]

Dang, it looks like a video game 😂

[@SurfRawFiles]

PlayStation 6😃

[@BobbyJetty1502]

I can't believe how different the wave is after the earthquake. The entire lineup is different in the wave breaks completely different

[@SurfRawFiles]

I think it depends also big time on the swell direction,but yeah earthquake changed surely..

[@cahyospn723]

Nias is unique place...

[@IErfanCN]

Naiss..

[@SurfRawFiles]

🙏🙏

[@bobbyandpiper10]

There is also a left across the bay. Is that a good wave?

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks for watching Bobby! The left is very shallow since the 2004 earthquake,not many people surf it, no mistakes there!

[@jackmartin2590]

Whats size boards are the boys using at proper big draining nais? Iv got ghost style boards which i thibk would ride slabs really well up to 6 foot but over that unsure. Are longer boarda with extra rail used out there or just beefed up 6,4s or 6,6s

[@SurfRawFiles]

On a proper big day 6'10

[@jackmartin2590]

Better dust the copwebs off the big board!

[@SurfRawFiles]

@@jackmartin2590 Haha yepp,good call! : )

[@pak_gabe64]

HAWAI NO, NIAS YES. GUNUNG SITOLI pulau NIAS MANTAP...! YAHOBU,.. SAWAHOLO NIAS.

[@antonysilverlim9383]

Pemandangannya sebenarnya sangat indah, Cuma, mungkin karena kameranya tidak mendukung untuk warna pohon yang hijau, dan warna Laut yang seharusnya berwarna biru. Tapi tetap saya ucapkan terima kasih atas usaha pembuatan video ini.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks man for watching

[@ReniAgnes]

Ombak bagus 👍

[@SurfRawFiles]

🙏🙏

[@1bcordell]

I don't know how these surfers ever get over the fear of sharks lurking around. Guess I've seen Jaws too many times.

[@SurfRawFiles]

No sharks in the Lagundri Bay,only krooks in the rivermouth..

[@happyririco9568]

Ada site sama juni bro

[@brantrichardson1949]

Hell yeah, there's something about women charging heavy waves that impresses the hell out of me.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Ruby is a Legend! Thanks for watching!🤘

[@bobbyandpiper10]

What's going on with that break way up the reef? Looks enticing and uncrowded

[@SurfRawFiles]

That's a wave called indicator and it's the same as with the left,since the earthquake it's to shallow ,very technical,very rarely surfed..

[@marshallkohlhaas80]

WOW very crowded!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaaaaaaaa

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha yepp

[@DarknessYT2010]

omg we use get this to ourselves .

[@garthjohnson88]

Damn Indicators looked insane! Any takers?

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks for watching Garth! Unfortunately nobody surfed indicators, hopefully the next swell!

[@krusher74]

please do more shots like @1.25, far more interesting and give the position of the wave more context.

If you can't get barrelled at Nias even as a kook you might as well give up and play chess

Don't underestimate chess!😀
