Bingin
Bingin is Bali's picture-perfect barrel—a short, shallow, sucking left-hander that produces some of the most photogenic tubes on the island when conditions align. The wave breaks just meters from the limestone cliff, offering little margin for error on the takeoff but rewarding commitment with flawless, gaping pits. The steep staircase descent from the cliffs above adds to the adventure, while the packed lineup during good swells demonstrates just how coveted these barrels are. Bingin is Bali barrel surfing at its most intense and rewarding.
