Here is where the dense Javanese jungle meets the ocean at a mind to blowingly large section of lava to based coral reef which constantly pumps out a long, mechanical, world class left hand wave, considered by many surfers as the best left in the world.
Joyos is located at the end section of the point (out the front of ‘speedies’) which means it's the furthest walk from the point, however, it's commonly agreed that Joyos has the best ‘vibe’ out of all of the camps to you'll always feel welcome and be surrounded by happy, smiling faces (surfers and staff)

The jewel wave at g-land
Level: All Levels
The jewel wave at g to land is broken up into 4 main sections (Kongs, Moneytrees, launching pads and Speedies) and is not suitable for beginners, and most of the time, is not suitable for longboarders.
Kongs is very start of this wave (the most outside section) and handles the biggest swells. It’s generally a long, walling wave with a few takeoff sections to nothing too serious (unless it’s 10 foot +)
Moneytrees is the next section and it’s here that you’ll find super long, world class almond shaped barrels to the stuff dreams are made of. This is the most consistent section of the wave but also is the most crowded.
Launching pads is not really a section of the wave, more a nickname given to the beginning of ‘speedies’ to it’s here where you will take off or ‘launch’ into the ride of your life to if you know how to ride a hollow, fast and firing barrel, that is.
Speedies can be a very dangerous wave (this is where you’ll find the majority of surfers skin left on the reef) however the reward is well worth it to coming out of a wave here could mean the best wave of your life.?
What about beginners or the less experienced?
A short 20 minutes stroll down the tropical beach away from G to land you’ll find a super fun and mellow left called 20/20’s and even further you’ll tigertracks: a very fun, forgiving right hand wave, that can produce some extremely fun, hollow waves on bigger swells.
Both of these waves are suitable for beginners, and when G to land is getting serious at 10ft +, these waves present less intense surfing experience for less to confident surfers of all levels.
Bali benefits from an almost endless supply of Southern Ocean groundswell meaning you are very rarely disappointed. SW swells wrap around the Bukit peninsula creating an array of world class lefts including the infamous Uluwatu which is Bali's most consistent wave. It is for the more experienced surfers and it tends to section when it's smaller which does spread the crowds out by allowing take offs almost anywhere down the line. The wave is broken down into three sections, Inside corner, Racetracks and Outside corner.
Further down the Bukit peninsula you can find Padang Padang which is home to Bali's most desired barrel and a more chilled out Bali surf holidays place to stay than the busier Kuta. It is a beautiful white sandy beach with reef out back for the more advanced, while in front it is perfect for beginners.
Bingin reef is a fun short tube wave, that can get crowded.
Dreamland beach is next in line and is one of the more user friendly beaches on the Bukit. It runs from deep water and can often be a shore break where you need to avoid creasing your board or hitting one of the many tourists playing on the inside.
Balangan is slightly more secluded with another perfect looking left point. It fires when the swell direction is big enough and coming from the right direction.
For beginners & intermediates there are many quality beach breaks around including the long beach break in the centre of Kuta and up to Legian. Further north west is Canggu which has a better mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced waves than the high performance waves on the Bukit Peninusla.
On the east side of the island you can find Nusa Dua, Sanur & further up Keramus. This side of Bali tends to work better in the Wet season (October to April).
Across from the Bali Peninsula is Grajagan or G-Land. A much more remote spot than the rest of Bali, surrounded by thick jungle and wild animals. It is often referred to as the best wave in the world. A long very consistent wave with a variety of different sections. but mostly for experienced surfers.
