Asu Camp Surf Club

From first contact to farewell, Earl and his team looked after our crew incredibly well. Travel advice, communication before and during our travel and the very welcoming atmosphere made for a great trip. Dont be fooled by the word “camp” - very comfortable rooms, great food, cold drinks and very organised daily surf transfers when we weren’t surfing the main break out front. Surf wise, well it was Nias in August so yes, we scored good waves!

What a trip!! Scored so many good days, so consistent and unreal setup right on the beach in front of the wave. Earl and his staff took care of us like family, and if you're planning on staying in Asu, Earl is your best guide. Over 20 years of local knowledge of all the spots, very kind and hospitable, can't wait to come back!! Highly recommend for all levels

I had an amazing stay at Asu Camp. The staff were top notch, the food was delicious, and the whole place had a great vibe. Earl’s knowledge of the waves made every session fun and well thought out, and the accommodations were super comfortable. Highly recommend Asu Camp to anyone looking for an unforgettable surf trip.

Fantastic surf camp to base yourself and surf in paradise. Very welcoming and accommodating hosts, excellent facilities (which are better than the marketing pictures show) and world class waves out front and nearby. Perfect destination, I can't think of a single reason why you wouldn't come and stay at Asu Surf Camp!

My brother and I stayed at Asu Camp for 10 amazing days. We were in the water every day with very few other people. At one point I held off on paddling out because - with 4 people already out - I'd decided that it was too crowded. Every day Earl steered us towards the appropriate spot given the wind, swell direction, and size. Earl, Samantha, and Jhoni are great to surf with, super encouraging, and always happy to give helpful advice about the best takeoff spot and lineups. It was the third time back for one of the guests we overlapped with and the fifth for another (the second time this year!). It's not only the consistent and uncrowded surf that keeps people coming back, the people are really special too. Everyone's up for a laugh, laid back, and super friendly. The meals aren't too shabby either; the food's great, there's lots of it, and the dishes always vary. If Earl is ever over living the blessed life on Asu (I doubt he will be) he should open a restaurant and hotel. The place is family friendly. We were there during the school holidays and there were a bunch of young local kids around. The dogs are friendly, the cats too (despite being rather vocal about their opinions), the hermit crabs endlessly busy, there are tons of tide pools (bring reef booties!), and the island is - of course - encircled by a beach. The sunsets aren't bad either.

Asu Camp hosted me and 5 guys for 2 of the most adventurous weeks of my life. Earl knows this region like no other. The surf, the meals, the people, the accommodations, resources were all far beyond my already high expectations. The employees of Asu are all amazing and hard working and give you a big smile and a "what's up bro" whenever they see you. Earl and Asu come with my highest recommendations..... I cannot wait to come back.

I cannot say enough good stuff about Asu Camp! Earl and Samantha are generous and knowledgeable hosts who really care about their guests and staff. The rooms are beautiful, the food is great, and the waves are incredible. But..."Be carefull what you wish for!"

Earl has this region dialed.. From wind and swell directions to making the right call on where and when to go to score classic conditions. There's heaps of options around here so having his experience is invaluable! They have a really good team to ensure it all works smoothly. Accomodation and food was top notch and the location of the camp has the true raw natural jungle feel that we all look for. Will always remember this Asu surf camp trip as an absolute highlight and will definitely be going back.
