8-Frame

East Nias, Indonesia
🪸Sharp reef

8-Frame is an excellent tube-riding right reef break near Hilistaro village on Nias's east coast. The wave offers quality barrel rides in a less-visited part of the island, providing a good alternative for surfers looking to explore beyond the famous Lagundri Bay area. The east coast exposure picks up different swell angles, extending the surfable conditions on the island.
