Located in the center of Kuta, Lombok, our beautiful property is an oasis of calm to recharge, relax and connect before a full week of surfing the best waves in Lombok.
And now look at what became of this magical place. It's a shit show every day of the year. (Except for when it's massive...)

Wet Season (November - April): The wet season in Lombok typically spans from November to April. While the weather can vary, this period generally experiences less wind, making it an ideal time for surfing in Lombok. Lombok also tends to be less crowded during the wet season compared to the dry season, providing surfers with more space to enjoy the waves (this can vary). And here in Lombok, we have many different surf breaks, some are better in the rainy season and some are better in the dry season. Dry Season (May - October): The dry season in Lombok typically spans from May to October. While the weather can vary, this period generally experiences considerably less rainfall. The dry season aligns with peak swell periods, resulting in larger and more powerful waves at many of Lombok's surf breaks. Please note, in some months of the dry season, some surf breaks experience more wind, however, here in Lombok, we have many different surf breaks, some are better in the wet season and some are better in the dry season.

The population of the world was half it is then. Everything changes man, we gotta just change with it. I meet so many surfers a generation above me who are so pissed all the time that the lineup isn’t 4 people anymore. It’s a shit place to be at. Just accept it’s a popular sport and everyone does it and just do some other fun shit instead of being pissed about it. Way easier.

Surfed Ulu one evening, small racetrack about 3 to 4 foot. A guy wearing a tinted dive mask was getting a couple and I talked to him for a few minutes before I realised it was Mr Lopez. Asked him about the mask and he said his eyes were fried from years of surfing and the mask helped him out. Pretty cool guy, surfs well, very polite. Nice afternoon.

I went and surfed there for the first time in 75. I sat across from Jerry Lopez and Jan Michael Vincent on the plane. Jan was from my home town. I think they were shooting scenes from Big Wednesday. I don’t know if that was this particular time, but when I was there Rory Russell was there, and was really being cool, because I was intimidated to go out with these guys because they were legends, and I felt like a kook. Uluwatu was a Goofy footers dream after living around right point break heaven in California. That was a great experience.

I first arrived on Bali in August, 1979. I was 28 and turned 29 there the next month. Many of the Balinese surf breaks that are now crowded and well known now were places I explored and surfed by myself. Uluwatu was about a two mile hike along a dusty trail from where you parked your rented motorbike then. There was one thatched warung atop the cliff. Clambering down the bamboo ladder into the cave you paddled out from was always interesting. Many days I surfed there with only a few people out. I spent two months in Bali and Nusa Lembongan that trip chasing waves. I returned to Indonesia in 1981. That trip I made to the little known island of Nias off the coast of Sumatra. Killer right hander. It pumped every day for the two weeks I was there. It was 15-18 feet Hawaiian on the first day and no one out. I had an 8’4” pintail gun that my buddy, the late Dick Catri, made. It rocked. Two weeks on Nias. Then on to Bali where I stayed for 2 1/2 months before heading to North Shore Oahu for a three month winter stay there. I made it to Oahu every winter for years back then. I was very fortunate to have been able to travel like I did. Caught epic waves. Had epic wipeouts. Saw beautiful sunrises and sunsets at beautiful beaches around the world.

really cool video, i cant help notice one thing though - maybe its the type of board they are riding, or its how we perceive style differently now versus 40 years ago - but these surfers look kinda... average? like you could nowadays go to any pumping break in Indonesia and see several surfers that are way more technical and fluid than these guys... i know im gonna get a lot of hate for this comment, but you know it to be true

The beginning was 1972 and the beginning of the end for the Bukit Peninsula it's peanuts, casava, corn, Uluwatu and Penang Penang was the 1981 Bali Pro that saw a track carved out for access. Not too sure we can be proud of that.

Wow.... The early 80's were probably the best time for a Free surfer backpacker to be alive : Music, cheap "morning price", fried noodles for quarter of a $ penny, no fights at the lineup or noisy and rich speedboats surf tour reaching G-Land in 2h from their fancy resorts on molested Uluwatu hills and Bukit. In 2024, if i had to choose for a wild and more lonely surftrip experience, i would explore all the Java south coast (skipping G-land) and following the cost until Sumatra. Probably best option these days if you want to avoid the crowds and not afraid by the unknown powerful waves, sharks, reef, and strong current (no jets, paddle only , hazardous cliffs and rocky jumps to reach the lineups). No resorts, plenty of fisherman's villages. Cons: Not always roads, far from any hospital, no 🏧, have to hide your cash in the bush before paddle out. Pack light but still carry first motobike repair, equipments for camping. Trucks drivers if you have to leave the cost on bigger roads are really deadly ✅🤙🏻🌏
