Loading culture guides

Why it matters

It makes a high-profile private-wave model legible without treating Sumba's culture as a resort amenity.

The context

Research documents Occy's Left as a private wave and identifies an access-equity discussion that should remain visible in any cultural account.

Sumba is not a backdrop

Marapu traditions and ceremonies are sacred living practices, and are not presented as visitor attractions.

Connection to surfing

Occy's Left is a private left-hand reef fronting NIHI Sumba.
