SURF BREAKS
- One Palm Point – This reef is one of Indonesia's left-hand wonders. A wave that barrels from start to finish, creating record tube time. This is not a place for timid or inexperienced wave riders, but it is a place to score the best, longest, barrel of your life. Needs a big swell to show its teeth and helmets and wetsuits are mandatory!
- Napalms – Another barreling left-hander located further inside the bay from One Palm. If you know anything about barrel riding, you can't fail at Napalms. A perfectly shaped reef allows this left-hander to bend and refract at just the right angle for you to set your line, pull in and get spat out. Different swell angles and sizes make this more or less rippable. For the intermediate to experienced surfer.
- Inside Lefts – An incredibly fun and incredibly long, left-hander. Sometimes this wave seems like it can go forever. Picking up almost any swell, it can be a go-to wave when conditions are small or, conversely, it might be a good option when the heart has had enough racing from it's more intense neighbors. Suitable for all skill levels.
- Apocalypse – a draw dropping right. It might not look like much if you approach it from behind, but paddle into one from Just Dreaming and you will discover what all the hype is about. A slabbing right. This is a wave that barrels. Nothing else. Needs a big swell to fire up. Experts only when big.
- Illusions – Just seaward and up-shore from Apocalypse is the beautiful right, Illusions. A lot less heavy than big brother Apocalypse, this wave is a natural footers dream. Illusions provides barrels and rippable sections. Fun for all levels of surfers: beginner, intermediate and experienced.
- Indicators – On the west side of the bay above Illusions is a super fun right that breaks fast and down the line. A solid south swell at low tide will get this spot firing. Best at lower to mid tides, but surfable on all tides and fun for all abilities.
- Ranger Station – Directly in front of the only building on Panaitan Island, the Ranger's Station, lies an A-frame peak that throws out a playful, sometimes hollow left and a fast pockety right with an occasional air end section. With a great mooring right next to the left in an idyllic bay, it's a great place to get fun waves, watch your mates surf or just relax and enjoy the scenery.
- Angels: A super fun left-hander that breaks in a deserted, isolated bay. Starting off fast, and sometimes hollow, it runs along and ends in deep water. Another go-to spot when the heart needs a rest and the crew just wants to have some fun and smash out a few turns.
