Indonesia

The Indonesian island chain is the perfect place in Southeast Asia to hang ten. The fact that it’s situated between the Indian and Pacific oceans means that you get to take in the best of both – stunning water, powerful swells, diverse marine life… it’s all here. 

Indonesia is a big place (there are more than 17,000 islands), so you could potentially spend months here surfing around. You’ll definitely want to check out Bali, but if you’re into more remote travel, there are lots of Indonesian islands that are off the beaten path.
