Super Suck

West Sumbawa, Indonesia

YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Super Suck is one of Indonesia's most intense barrel rides—a lippy, narrow tube that sucks hard off an extremely shallow reef on West Sumbawa's south coast. The wave is incredibly fickle, requiring specific W-SW swell direction to wrap into the break, but when conditions align, it produces world-class hollow lefts that rank among the best barrels east of the Mentawais. Located near Maluk, the wave is strictly for expert surfers.
