The Peak
The Peak is a short, perfect right tube in the Krui region of South Sumatra that follows a simple formula—drop in, get barreled, repeat. The wave needs bigger swell to start working but when it does, it offers compact, intense barrel rides over shallow reef. Located among the cluster of quality breaks near Way Jambu and Ujung Bocur, it provides a right-hand option in a region dominated by lefts.
