Rockstar is a flashy right reef break on the east coast of Nias, about 25km up the coast from the famous Lagundri Bay. The wave offers a fun alternative to the main bay breaks, with quality barrel sections and more room to move in the lineup. Less traveled than Sorake and Lagundri, it rewards those willing to make the extra drive with uncrowded sessions and tropical scenery.
