When a big swell arrives, Padang-Padang shows its true face. This is what made this wave so famous – heavy barrels! On a lower tide, a must-go-to spot for professional and expert surfers only. It is also a great spot to watch if everywhere else should be too big for you to surf.

The perfectly breaking, hollow left-hander attracts many surfers from all over the world. Everyone in the line-up is on the hunt for one of these tubes. Getting one can be a difficult task, but once you do, you will never forget! It is a wave that demands respect and commitment. Pulling out from one of these waves when you paddle for it, is not an option. “Go big or go home” is the mindset you need to surf this wave.
