  • Surf

    The waves in West Java are among the best in the world, and Panaitan Island is one of the least crowded surf spots in Indonesia. Surf season runs from March through October, with early months favouring right-hand breaks and June onward bringing prime left-hand waves. Experience the beauty of uncrowded Indonesian waves at one of the world’s premier surfing destinations.

    One Palm

    World famous and iconic, this left-hand reef break is one of Indonesia’s true surfing wonders. Known for its barreling waves that run from start to finish, this spot offers record-breaking tube time for seasoned surfers. This is not a destination for the timid or inexperienced; it's where surfers can experience the best and longest barrels of their lives. Helmets are mandatory for safety on this powerful, thrilling wave.

    Napalms

    Located further inside the bay, Napalms is another barreling left-hander that delivers a thrilling ride for the intermediate to experienced surfer. Perfect for those who love barrel riding, Napalms lets you drop in, set your line, pull in, and get spat out - over and over. If you’re after a spot to refine your skills and experience true Indonesian barrels, this is the wave for you.

    Inside Lefts

    Also known as Pussies, Inside Lefts is an incredibly fun, long left-hander that’s suitable for all skill levels. This wave picks up almost any swell, making it an ideal choice when conditions are small or when you need a break from the intensity of nearby spots. With its easy-going nature, Insides Lefts is a perfect go-to wave for surfers looking for a more relaxed, enjoyable ride in Indonesia’s surf paradise.

    Illusions

    Illusions is a high-performance right-hander just up-shore from the powerful Apocalypse, but it offers a lighter, more playful ride. Known for its perfect conditions, Illusions lets surfers flow through turn after turn, with occasional opportunities for a quick cover-up. Fun and accessible for all levels, this wave truly lives up to its name-providing an unforgettable surf experience in West Java’s pristine waters.

    Apocalypse

    Prepare for a jaw-dropping experience on this powerful right-hander. It might not look intimidating from behind, but once you paddle in, you’ll understand the hype. This slabbing right delivers hard, hollow barrels that demand skill and confidence. It needs a big swell and light or offshore winds, making it a rare gem for those lucky enough to score it. Experts only when the waves are the biggest.

    Indicators

    Located just above Illusions, Indicators is a fast-breaking right hander runs down the line and offers a thrilling ride for surfers of all abilities. It really fires on a solid south swell at low tide but remains surfable and fun across all tides. This wave is a must-ride spot for those looking to experience Indonesia’s diverse surf conditions.
