This is a video from a trip that Tom Court did with Sophie Mathews to Indonesia to visit Bali for surfing, and off to explore a remote chain of Island’s in the Suluwasi region. Namely ‘Wakatobi’ resort and private island. Known for its world-class diving it has not yet been exposed for the amazing Kiteboarding conditions that it has to offer in season.
Some of the most beautiful and untouched beaches in the world coupled with a consistent 15-25knot breeze and a chain of islands that provides the ultimate playground for divers and Kiters alike. Tom and Sophie spent two weeks exploring this paradise… Not a bad way to spend August!
