3 spots in this bay.Inside is a long crowded right, Outside is huge and powerful left and Tattoo Point is an A-Frame with long left and shorter right, not hollow but perfect for manouvers...boat cost 10 US $ for 6 people...
Atmosphere
nice atmosphere, nice gentle locals (same people carrying you there by boat), same cute japanese longboarder girl (sounds incredible, isn't it? )in the line up and super nasi goreng once you've come out of water....
General
getting more crowded year after year, but still perfect at early morning(glassy offshore conditions) or after noon (but onshore trade winds blowing hard)

- The wave is easy and the bay is nice but so much people surf here now, better to find other place... it's so crowed.

t - Heading to Lombok in July. Thinking about staying at Ekas. Keep hearing good and bad reports. Happy to stay somewhere else and hire a boat each day to explore and find uncrowded waves. Anyone got any hints or contacts. Thanks
