The Waves
G-Land, located within reach of the camp, is a legendary surf spot offering one of the most consistent left-hand breaks in the world. Best surf season runs from May to September when southwest swells bring in powerful, hollow waves. It's ideal for experienced surfers looking for challenging tubes, while the nearby 'Kongs' provides a more forgiving option for intermediate levels.

Java
Java is an effortless choice for surfers seeking powerful waves, rich culture, and off-the-beaten-path adventure. As Indonesia’s most populated island, Java hides world-class surf along its rugged southern coastline, where Indian Ocean swells meet volcanic cliffs and lush jungles. Every surfer dreams of scoring G-Land (Grajagan), one of the most iconic left-hand reef breaks in the world—known for its long, barreling sections and raw power. Tucked within the edge of a national park, G-Land offers a true wilderness surf experience, often accessed by boat or jungle trail. Beyond G-Land, Java is home to a variety of lesser-known gems like Batu Karas, perfect for longboarders and cruisy sessions, and Pacitan, with its punchy beach and reef breaks. The crowds are thinner than Bali or the Mentawais, and the experience is more grounded—steeped in local hospitality, deep traditions, and dramatic landscapes. For surfers seeking something deeper than just waves, Java is a fail-safe destination packed with world-class surf and authentic Indo soul.
