Had to be in Nias last week
Pipes and few people
On August 13 and 14, swells hit Nias and with travel restrictions due to the pandemic, one of the best waves in the world remained uncrowded.
One tube after another and very few people in the water gave two days of magic (and surely many more) to those who are out there.
