Telo Island Lodge :: SURF

Two of the best waves in the Telo Islands are a stone’s throw from the lodge, and there are another dozen different breaks within an hours distance of the lodge and 70% of them remain un-crowded and are approximately 20 minutes away. The surf here is ultra-consistent - lefts and rights that work in all tides and opposing wind directions, generally create clean conditions.

Two of the spots are an easy walk from the lodge. The others are accessible by Telo Island Lodge boats. The main transfer boat, Zero Down, is a 26-foot centre console, powered by a 200 hp Yamaha two-stroke outboard – backed up by  a 115 hp Yamaha two stroke. Zero Down is fitted with two-way communications, GPS, fish finder, stereo, ample sun protection, drink and food refrigeration for longer trips and full game fishing set-up.  Zero Down can cruise at 26 knots and hit 33 knots which makes for quick access to all breaks.

The lagoon boat, Bombay Sapphire, is a five-meter, flat bottom, locally constructed wooden craft.  The Sapphire is used for supply runs to the local village and transport around the lagoon and also to the nearby left.  The Sapphire is powered by a 15 hp Yamaha.
