Padang Padang



Padang Padang is about 30 minutes down the Bukit peninsula from Kuta. The Meaning of Padang Padang is 'Power and Fear'. Padang Padang is one of the heaviest waves in Bali, Let alone South East Asia. Padang works very rarely. The wave breaks behind the cliff and comes across the beach meeting Impossibles. (The cliff is on the left side of the beach). When the waves are not big enough and power of the wave is not strong the wave does not work. if this does not happen the wave breaks behind the cliff but stops and it never makes it across the beach. On the right side of the  is another wave. when the wave behind the cliff merges with the one on the right, it means the wave is working.

This wave is not suitable for beginners when the wave is working and if its to big. its suitable for beginners if they are on the break on the left side of the beach. Padang Padang is a small beach and there are a couple of surf schools teaching tourists how to surf, there are restaurants and umbrella's you can rent. its a very touristic area. the crowds in Padang get can over the number of 40 people out in the water, there is only one take off point so everyone is huddled up in one place.
