We spent several days here enjoying the waves rolling along the point. What a place to surf for us novices. I spent over five hours in a single day enjoying the waves. The more experienced locals and a few white skins were just as content with the waves provided. What a location, and if only we could say thanks to the Australian for advising we come here all those months ago now. A Canadian fellow who was half Japanese - which was quite a good look with the ladies - provided me with spur of the moment surf insight which helped out dramatically. His girlfriend was watching form the shore since she had taken chunks out of her legs, while surfing above reef in Bali the week before. She was not a happy lady since the conditions here begged for action.
During our spell at the Java Coast Hotel that faced onto the surf, we met a family: Alan, Maria, Olly and Noah

. We spent time in the waves, on the beach, eating in the restaurants and at the bar with them all. A lovely family of humans, who live in Perth when not enjoying a Christmas holiday in Indonesia. They suggested we should give them a call when we arrive in Perth after the new year and go and see 'em. You bet we will!Come to Batukaras - as the locals spell it - whatever you do, just get there. The locals are excellent, the food is too, and you'll feel a million miles away from your regular life. Quiet, small, and very local, if you like your holiday away from the normal, make your way here as soon as possible.
