Way Jambu

South Sumatra (Krui), Indonesia
🪸Sharp reef😮‍💨Hold-downs

Way Jambu, dubbed the 'Sumatran Pipeline,' is one of the most perfect and heavy waves in Indonesia. The wave features a critical take-off into a top-to-bottom barrel with Kirra-like run-through potential over shallow reef. Located in the Krui region of South Sumatra, it's the crown jewel of a coastline packed with world-class breaks. Expert-only surfing with serious consequences for mistakes on the shallow reef shelf.
