Just a bit smaller than Bali, Nias lies only 125 km off Sumatra’s West Coast. Bypassed hr the Indian, Islamic and European influences that swept through most of the archipelago the people of Nias have lived for centuries in virtual isolation from the outside world. Australian surfers in search of the perfect wave were among the first to ‘discover’ Nias, home today to the Indonesian Open Surfing Championship. Despite a growing infrastructure and tourist industry the traditional culture of Nusa has remained quite intact. Villages are laid out around a central plaza and arc still primarily made up of tradition houses. War dances and the famous ‘stow Jumping’ are still part of daily life, but are also performed for tourists. There are daily flight serving Medan and Nias Island.
