The World's Easiest Take-Off? - Batu Bolong, 15 March 2021

  • Batu Bolong was in a particularly gentle mood on the 15th of March. The take-offs were so mellow, I think you'd be hard pressed to find and easier entry to a wave, anywhere.
    That's not to say surfing here is without its challenges. Negotiating the crowd - which was already quite thick by mid-morning - is a constant danger. But since party waves are generally expected and accepted, there were still plenty of smiles out in the water.

    Not a ton of surfer etiquette followed here but the wave is so relaxed that you could catch just about any wave and go for dozens of seconds on a ride. It's not like people are doing cutbacks and 360 airs. :) Just put this place on my bucket list! Thanks for the vid for reference !

    These waves are so fantastic. Here in my city in Brazil you have to swim for like 10 min to get over the breaking zone. Then when you are in the point, you are already tired.
