How often does this location work for a windsurfer?
Scott: From August to October I think.
How difficult is the wave to ride?
Scott: I love it as it is like home (in Oz) but just cleaner and more perfect with a predictable place where the lip is going to throw. Predictably heavy though too. It sucks pretty quickly so if your timing is out, you'll pay pretty quickly!
Have you had any knarly wipeouts at this spot?
Scott: Not really but it's kinda heavy. Low tide gets pretty shelfy and can lead to big swims due to the currents.
What's the best thing about windsurfing in Indonesia?
Scott: Warm water, perfect waves, insane food and it's not very far from Western Oz.
What's the worst thing?
Scott: You have to fly in Indo planes. It’s the only time I get scared flying. Also too many surfers which can be a bit of a mare.
