A take off from behind this section will pay off for the skilled surfer.Īs you exit this barrel, the wave actually stops racing down the reef, before the dangerous, shallow second section. This section will Barrel as it hits the reef, but will typically stay high and relatively tight, compared to the next section, so its important not to be travelling too fast off your take-off and finding yourself at the bottom, and missing this barrel all together. The take off is reasonably approachable for such a heavy wave as it breaks on a deeper part of the reef, and gives you time to set up for the first section. When a large SW swell hits the Bukit, and has enough energy to wrap around past Uluwatu and into Padang-Padang, it is the pick of the Bukit for a lot of skilled surfers, travelling from far and wide to get a taste of what Padang-Padang has to offer.
