The area

Panaitan’s hills rise from pristine forest with wildlife comprised of deer, wild pigs, monkey, bulls, large monitor lizards, black leopard, python and a wide variety of bird life. This beautiful tropical island is the backdrop of one of the most incredible surf spots in the world.

Surf spots

One Palm Point	:	The wave that put Panaitan on the map. One of the world’s longest (up to 800 yards), most perfect, most dangerous shallow left-hand barrels reels across a reef point. You need a sturdy board to get into the wave as early as possible, then set a rail and go for maximum speed. Mid tide seems best and the wave starts to work at just 3ft of south to southwest swell.
Napalams	:	Probably the most frequently surfed wave at Panaitan, and with good reason. The left-hand reef here delivers barrels with mechanical perfection, and they are more makeable than One Palm thanks to a defined channel. Take-offs are straight-forward, then a lined-up wall leads to a full-on barrel before tapering off into deep water. Higher tides are best if you want to avoid the shallow second section.
Inside Lefts / Pussy’s	:	At the head of the inner bay are some very well lined up, fun long lefts. Generally a good warm-up spot for Panaitan proper, the lefts need a good south swell but work at any tide, although low is often best.
Inside Rights	:	Opposite the lefts, on the west side of the bay is a right-hand reef break that works on wet season west breezes and any swell direction. A solid south swell at low tide will get this alternative spot firing. Best at lower to mid tides, but varying with swell size.
Illusions	:	Right-hand reef break with approachable take-off and variable barrel and wall sections.
Apocalypse	:	Extremely square right-hand barrel; pull in or don’t go at all
And..	:	A secret spot on the mainland of west Java…
