About North Sumatera
About North Sumatera
North Sumatra is Indonesia’s
most populous province outside of Java, stretches from the Indian Ocean
in the west to the Straits of Malaka in the East, and from Aceh in the
north to west Sumatra in the south. It is thick with virgin rainforest,
jungle-covered hills, terraced rice fields, mountain rivers, beautiful
waterfalls, and volcanic lakes and peaceful while beaches.
North Sumatra is one of Indonesia’s last surfing frontiers. “North Sumatra” consists of 5 islands or island groups: Hinako Islands, Nias, Telos and 2 other obscure island groups to the north. North Sumatra receives similar swell to Mentawais and enjoys its peak swell season from May to September. Despite Indonesia’s reputation for hollow lefts, in North Sumatra
right-handers are slightly more prevalent. While Lagundri Bay at Nias
has been surfed for decades, it is the more obscure rights like Bawa (a
Sunset-like right bowl that holds up to 15 feet) and Treasure Island (a
long, hollow, mechanical right peeling for 200 meters) that have
attracted the attention of late. Throw a mix of hollow and bowl
lefthanders into the picture like Asu, Afulu, the Machine, and many more
obscure rights and lefts.
In contrast to the small island of Bali, North Sumatra province is large with one of the biggest lakes in the world, Toba Lake, at its navel. The continuous mountain of Bukit Barisan, which extends from Aceh at the tip of Sumatra
island to Lampung at the bottom of the island, guards the province on
the west side, providing home for thick, tropical jungles and lush
vegetations. As you go down the western mountains towards the beaches of
the east, mountain streams, strong rivers, and gorgeous waterfalls will
accompany you.
Along the length of this province crosses Bukit Barisan Mountains
with peaks of numerous volcanoes. The land has thick virgin forests,
lush vegetation, rice fields, mountain streams, rivers, waterfalls and
sandy beaches. It has a
rich flora and fauna. An abundance of birds, butterflies, buffaloes,
deer, mouse deer, orangutans and many other export commodities make
North Sumatra one of the richest provinces in Indonesia, as it produces more than 30 % of Indonesia’s
exports. The province offers the visitors, especially nature lovers,
beautiful tropical panoramas, terraced rice fields, blue mountains, jungle covered hills, white sandy beaches, music, dance and folk arts.
The
people of the region can be can be divided into five main ethnic
groups: the Coastal Malays, living along the Melaka Straits, the Bataks,
consisting of the sub-tribes around Lake Toba and Samosir Island, the
Pesisirs along the Indian Ocean coast, the Mandailings of southern
Tapanuli, and Nias Islanders off the western coast of the province.
These groups each have their own dialects. Religious beliefs, arts,
costumes and cultures. Several ethnic groups live in Medan
and other towns of Non Sumatra, tittle largest of these being Chinese
and Indian. Other arts of the archipelago arc represented notably the
Acehnese, Lake Toha Minangkabau and Javanese.
