Stormrider Description
Located in front of a prawn factory, Turtles lurches abruptly onto the dead coral reef, making the take-off critical, then leading into some hooked walls and sucky barrel sections at lower tides. Gets classic and is a consistent option, despite SE winds ruffling it up. Remember to kick out before the sudden shutdown section at the rusty pipe pylons.
Turtle's consistency draws occasional crowds.

Local Knowledge
This local spot name is Pangumbahan, but known as Turtles because it's near the Turtles nest. And if you go surf at day and luck, you will surf with the Turtles. The condition of this wave is Left Barrel (Hollow Waves), best with all tide. The break are Reef, but it's deep enough if you get wipe out. Best use quiver here are like shortboards from 5'9" - 6'6" (with swallow tail, roundpin tail, round tail) or semi-gun 6'8" - 7'2". You need fast speed board if it get high tide. The wave are really fast Left Barrel, but if it go at low tide..you can play with Rocket Fish here for fun. NO PAIN ... NO GAIN
