tip local people in order not to have things stolen from car and go on the beach...very very very strong riptide on the right between line up and entry channel.If you get caught don t swim( too strong and dont panic)and wait till you are out of it

The vibe pulses with raw ocean energy, where every session tests your skills on this dynamic ledge just offshore from the […]
Its worth giving up a bit of cash for using the roads and leaving your bike. It seems a bit gay to give some of the locals your cash especially when they're dicks but in the end no matter how sint you are they've probably goot less and a few kids to feed. Be carefully, the most dangerous thing about this spot is giving the kids on the roads high fives with one hand and riding your bike with the other!
Gili Air is a wonderful place to go with the woman in your life...IF she likes a kicked back environment. There is some really fun nightlife, but it's quite limited, unlike nearby Gili Trawangan, which is party central, with many options. Accomodations range from the comparatively luxurious Hotel Gili Air (the only swimming pool on the island) to very comfortable losmen style bungalows at very reasonable prices. Want a boat? Ask for Denny...maybe the best surfer on the island, and a great boatman. He can take you on a three island, fun, dive, fish, surf, whatever. He lives very close to the harbor.
This spot is called sectrets by the local boys who are more than welcoming to travelling surfers! (Cheers for screwing me over on arak and mushrooms once again ade!)I've surfed it twice in the last 4 years and it picks up more swell than you'd expect. The take off spot on the outside point is fairly easy, but it quickly jacks up to produce long and hollow walls. It breaks over a shallow reef for a long and fast ride. Its fun up to double overhead with long tube rides, but over that it becomes one serious wave that walls and walls and walls. Good luck.
2 breaks - a hollow shifty left, best at mid to High tide A nice right with a fast inside section, best at low to Midtide Has reasonable protection from the wind. Transport: 20 minutes drive and a 20-minute walk or just 20 minutes by boat from Kuta Beach.
This is a fairly typical Indo reef break. Nice and consistent with powerful long rides when the swell picks up. Sensitive to winds. It's better during the raining season with NE winds.Two main peaks:The right: good peaky right on the west side. Can be powerful.The left: at the east side of the bay. Rarely works.

We never surfed this spot because by the time we got back the tide was to low and we didn't feel like getting reefed to death. We had a hard time watching it and not paddling out 'cause it looked so good.
