Island Explorer: An Indonesian Travelogue
“Wanted: six guys with guts!â€
An obscure advertisement in a surf magazine triggers a journey through Sumatra’s jungles, volcanoes and chaotic roads to the fabled Mentawai Islands and a traditional Indonesian sailing ship, the Island Explorer.
As the Explorer drifts deeper into the wilds, its occupants gradually lose their connection with the “real world†and start existing in their own dreamland.
But the future becomes uncertain when the captain jumps ship and the stand-in skipper slowly becomes unhinged in the tropical heat.
Join the quest to find pristine islands, untouched coral beaches and flawless surf. Sail through equatorial Indonesia’s sparkling seas with a group of surfers searching for that elusive, ideal wave.
"As with most trips, if everything goes according to plan, nobody wants to hear about it. Definitely not the case here. Great story. Wish I had been there." - Elliot Malach
"This is a good one to bring with you on a trip to Indo." - The Waterman's Library
"Well written, this book brings you inside a surfer's world. You can feel the waves, smell the ocean and experience an adventure many never dream of. The descriptions of Indonesia are brilliantly amazing." - Book Lover Rome
