The Mangalui Ndulu - ‘The Mango’

Mangalui Ndulu translated into the local Nias dialect literally means ‘wave searcher’. She is an outstanding 84 foot timber sloop, custom-built for the sole purpose of searching for waves. ‘The Mango’ has chartered in the beautiful islands off Sumatra for over 2 decades. Her experienced captain and crew have hosted the world’s best surfers and witness and enjoyed some truly ground breaking sessions in virgin waves. Her reputation as being one of the finest Indonesian charter vessels afloat is well deserved.

8TH - 19TH AUGUST 2026

Heading north, the promise of Sumatra’s beauty was impossible to ignore. The lads had already made a few Indonesian trips, but chartering into some of the island chain’s most remote zones brought an entirely new sense of adventure.

24TH JULY – 4TH AUGUST | 4–8 FOOT GOOFY SEASON

Southerlies = lefts. But who’s complaining when it’s perfect waves with just your mates.

After a suspect first few days that mother nature had complete control of, we found ourselves back at one of our favorite protected corners. At first, it didn’t look like much but as the morning went on, she started to give us more and just like that, the trip had kicked into gear with some groomed Indo perfection back on the menu.

6TH JULY – 20TH JULY

Chelly and Bruiser rounded up Avoca's finest young hell men, throw Benny into the mix, an absolute bonanza of perfect empty lefts, and that was one hell of a trip!

21 JUNE – 2 JULY

The charts had been teasing for days with a proper south pulse on the long range, so we got to our target break down south early in anticipation. A couple of other boats had the same idea, but the swell hadn't really shown its hand on “the day”.
