The MBSR Express
Our Speed boat the "MBSR Express" is a 5-meter Outborn Watercraft RHIB (Rigid Huled Inflatable Boat) delivered in 2023. It's powered by a 60HP Yamaha and built for speed, comfort and stability. It's a mobile unit that we can launch from anywhere so we can access remote waves as well as launch directly in front of the resort to have you surfing Teabags in 20min.
Guides
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
MBSR guides are the most knowledgeable guides on Simeilue. Since we opened our doors in 2013, the goal has always been to give our guests the best surfing experience there is to offer. Knowing when and where to surf according to the local weather, tides and swell direction is the key to getting guests on the best waves in the least crowded lineups.
You are in good hands at MBSR.
Waves
There are uncrowded waves all along the south and western side of the island and breaks that are yet to be named or even discovered. Within a 5 to 75 minutes from the resort, there are at least 10 quality waves. Ranging from super hollow reefs to more mellow beach breaks.
Every evening the guides will discuss the best options for the next day. After an early morning swell, wind, and tide check the call will be made for the group or, you can go explore the island’s waves by yourself.
Typically, you can surf one spot in the morning and one or even two spots in the afternoon. We know that everyone has different surfing levels but the beauty of Simeulue is that there are plenty of different wave options to match or push your ability.
The Peak
A perfect left and right peak, with hollow barrel sections and long, steep walls. The Peak picks up any swell and is one of the most consistent waves on the island. It’s a super fun wave, which anyone can surf from beginners through to the very experienced. The Peak is a short 5-minute car trip from MBSR.
Northern Lefts & Rights
These two waves, a right-hand reef break and fun left hand beachie, are almost side by side and are best in similar conditions to the Peak but often far less crowded.
Both waves are only a 10 minute drive from MBSR.
Dylan`s
A fast, hollow, perfect right hand reef point. A high performance wave, which allows you to pull into barrels, carve down the line or set up a section. It breaks best in larger swells but consistently produces smaller waves for low-intermediate plus surfers. It’s a quick 15 min drive from MBSR.
Alus Alus Bay & Thailands
Alus Alus Bay
A left and right point break on opposite sides of the bay with an A frame peak in the middle. The right is an easy, fun ride, which gets hollower up the point and finishes over a sand bottom. The left has long walls and barrels all the way down the line. The A frame offers great waves in both directions depending on the swell direction. The bay is a
25 minute drive from MBSR.
Thailands
A super consistent, long left-hand reef break with an easy take off, good walls and plenty of fast sections. Thailands is suited to most surfers and is a set in a beautifully scenic location, which also has a good reef for snorkelling. From MBSR it’s a 1-hour drive and a 15-minute boat ride.
T bags
A right-hand reef pass where deep water swell hit a shallow reef creating a long wave with real power. It picks up a lot of swell and starts breaking from about 4 foot and is best with a southwest swell, on low tide, with a NW wind. A super consistent wave that’s better suited to intermediate to advanced surfers. Booties are also recommended. Also, the nearby Island of Mincau is uninhabited and has one Indonesia`s most unique landscapes with pristine beaches, great snorkelling and spearfishing. Teabags is a 20-minute boat trip on the MBSR Express directly from the beach in front of the resort.
