We sail to Indonesia’s surf hotspot and discover the real side of life afloatāwhere epic waves come with unexpected costs. In this episode, we navigate the strong currents of the Alas Strait, battle shifting winds, and motor behind Mount Rinjani into Lombok. But itās not all perfect sunsets and surf breaks…
We head to Mataram for a visa run, where the cost of staying legally in Indonesia hits hardā12 million rupiah for just 60 days! With our passports processed, we hunt down some hard-to-find supplies in the city before sailing south to Gerupuk, a laid-back surf town.
There, we join a beach clean-up with local kidsāa rewarding way to give back to a community weāre enjoying so much. Between the stoke of the waves and the reality of visa runs and plastic pollution, this episode shows what sailing Indonesia *really* looks like.
