West Papua

When asked about the surf potential in the troubled region of West Papua photographer John S. Callahan had this to say, "Excellent. In the northeast monsoon season this area receives consistent swell and there are dozens of potential surfing locations." Facing into the Western Pacific West Papua receives swell from a different window, indeed from a whole different ocean, then the well-travelled southern coasts of Indonesia.
