 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

Padang in two words: power and fear. It' the most dangerous and hollowest wave in this area. The final bowl is an obligatory tube. In short: Tube at the take-off, then speed, speed, speed and the ledgey final tube section.
Under 4 ft: even if the surf is possible under 4ft at the final bowl, it's dangerous because of the shallow water.
Over 5 ft: the best is at mid tide. It's pretty but the wave is crowded. It's remain dangerous because there is no water on the reef.
Over 6 ft: the real Padang starts at this size. The wave is long and very hollow. The take-off zone is moving in front of the big rock. Be attentive to the choice of your wave (difficult because there are at this moment 30 to 40 surfers...).
More than 8 ft: Wait for the low tide. The wave is incredible and dangerous.
10 ft: it's the average limit of Padang. Surnatural.
More than 12 ft: out of control.

Take a long board (6'8" to 7'4")

If the technical level is too high for you (we are a lot in this case !), just come and enjoy the show on the wave. You will learn just by watching.
