My first trip to Lombok was in 1982...pumping outside Ekas and outside Gerupuk...did not encounter any other surfers during our 2 weeks...dirt roads and only accom in Kuta was Anda..it was totally raw back then..an unforgettable trip.

Stoked on this video.  My friend and I were just talking about this area and looking on the maps.  That opening wave in the bay looked like such a great bowl for handplane bodysurfing.

Great videos, really enjoying the channel.

Can't wait for your in depth videos of Morocco and Sri Lanka. Can you give an estimation of when they will be dropping? :)

great video mate. I Was there in 2014 and heading back at the end of August. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you for this very informative video....learned alot I never knew and it really helps for future trips coming....May great waves bless you soon.....

Very helpful video, thanks man. I’m there now, beginner/intermediate (more beginner), it’s awesome

Hey men, thank you so much, me and my mom we are going to lombok and your video help us so much, thanks broo

Really good video m8.thanks so much

My experience is, from at least May to late November Lombok surf coast, ie the south coast, cops onshore winds prevailing from the South East from dawn to dusk. This pretty much means 75% of the quality spots are taken out. Its not just a bit onshore, the winds absolutely blows hard, Leaving you with 3 maybe 4 decent spots to share amongst intermediate and advanced surfers. It’s manageable at the moment because numbers are generally low and picking the right tide for many surfers seems to be a challenge. Most spots in Lombok are very tide dependent as well as wind dependent.That being said, it will only be a matter of time, as Kuta and Lombok in general becomes the overflow of Bali and Kuta is developing fast, that Lombok wont be a great option in years to come. The reason Bali is a better option even though it’s absolutely packed with surfers is A. it has a ton of beach breaks, Lomb9k has NO beach breaks at all. B. the wind on the South West coast all the way out to the Bukit tend to be offshore from early to at least mid day from Feb to Nov and even randomly through wet season, C. Access from Bali West coast to East coast is a pretty short ride which means you can always find a wave magnet with offshore winds. D. Lombok wet season can be a challenge due to rain and landslides and a lot of quality spots can only be accessed by muddy dirt tracks which are a challenge in dry season let alone wet season. Walk around Kuta and you’ll find a shit load of ppl with bandaged legs and arms because they are not experienced bike riders and fall easily on Lomboks dangerous roads. The roads look safe but have pockets of gravel on them which catch ppl out.

Love this video and the progression lately.  I have watched myself do the same thing over at the Gleaning The Scriptures channel.  Progression sure feels good.

This is brilliant Dan. Thank yu. i should be there soon.

Thank you bro, amazing videos, so helpful and clear info!

Backdrop was super rad

Awesome!thanks for sharing!

Nice turns

Just spent a month in lombok fell in love with the place fun waves every day and met awesome travellers
There is crowds but also waves without crowds that are harder to surf
Loved it
Try and get to mawi in the afternoons on low tide it’s so sick. Scored heaps of afternoons by myself 3ft rights love it

Thank you ❤

Back in “98 We over landed from Bali to there and surfed alone the whole time.

Hope you feel better soon , get well, thumbs up
