Honey Smacks
Honey Smacks is a steep, fast left barrel in the Krui region of South Sumatra, popular with bodyboarders due to its intense, close-out nature. The wave features a critical drop into a heavy barrel section that demands commitment and precise timing. Located near Way Jambu, it adds another world-class break to what may be the densest concentration of quality surf on Sumatra's west coast.
