Sumba - Kallala

Edit Spot
About

just not worth the money and time and effort to get there to pay 300,000 a night and the waves are just O.K. and the food and set up would be o.k. if it were priced right. go some where else if you are looking to go off the beaten path.

Atmosphere:
although you will most likely be surfing by yourself, it is hardly worth the 300,000 rupiah a night that he charges. it is a sub par loseman set-up with out door bathroom, and the food quality and quantity is fair at best. dont get me wrong i dont need a palace, it just was not even close to being worth the money he charges. It should be maybee 50-70,000 a day at most. i must say mr.david himself is really nice and will treat you great, and has some great storys about all his time in Sumba.

Additional Info:
Indonesian wave finder makes it sound as if this place is a surf paradise. hardly. the wave (The point) is a good makeable wave that i sould see could get really fun given some overhead conditions. the other waves 5-0, race-track, and bang bangs. so called 3 waves, to me seemed like 3 hollow unmakeable closeouts to one wave, even at high tide, mid to low forget it.
