JUST DREAMING
Come surf the best barrels in the world with no crowds in Indonesia. West Java and Panaitan Island are located off Java’s south-west tip and are home to the infamous One Palm Point and Apocolypse and various other world-class waves. While most of the surfing world is focused on the Mentawai's, West Java has numerous perfect waves with half the crowds. For proof of the perfection and beauty of this nature preserve pick up a copy of Timmy Turner’s Second Thoughts or Ombak.
"Captain Johnny is the best skipper in the world! He got us barreled everyday!" Dr. Paul Rogers, Australia

TRIP REPORT |
We arrived at Panaitan and weather was calm, we had a good trip down with calm winds the whole way down.
The trip started off with some 3 foot, super clean Napalm. It was a great intro for the boys. The next day we were expecting a large swell and the boys were keen for some bigger Napalm which we scored....solid 5 foot, heavy barrels, the same day we surfed 5 foot One Palm, heaps of barrels for everybody.
Next 2 days we surfed Napalms and Tetes, clean 3 foot conditions. The winds were good for the rights as well, and we surfed Illusions 3 to 4 foot clean and doing its thing. Apocalypse was 6 foot solid, heavy barrels, but only broke briefly due to a wind change.
The rest of the trip saw us doing the rounds of the bay with great head and and half high waves at Napalms in the mornings then across to the rights when the tide dropped for great long walls at Illusions.
We ended up with 2 great surfs at Apocalypse, one was 4 foot and super fun. The next was 6 foot plus grinding barrels which were as wide as they were high.....very impressive!
This was a ten day trip and saw the boys score great clean waves everyday. |
