general information

A real gem off the Hinakos Islands near Sumatera. Bawa is a powerful Sunset style right hander offering minimal crowds, excellent waves and a true alternative to queing with the rest of the tour boats off the Mentawis. Currently there is one low key resort in the area well worn securing lodgings at. Hurry before someone builds another six of them and claims ownership of the wave.
