Surfing Rifles

Rifles is a right on the Karangmajat reef, across from Kandui Left. On its day it's one of the best rights in Indonesia, with barrel sections one after another all the way down the reef.

The waves crack down the line fast, and rides can be very long when a clean SW swell comes in with S/SE winds and the right tide. It's slightly easier than Kandui and holds size well, so every regular-footer in the area heads here when the forecast is right.

Sit at the top peak, watch a couple of sets first and don't go for every wave. Resort boats and charters take turns, so the lineup is busy but well organised.
