Biggest Wave Ever Surfed at Uluwatu? [July 25th, 2018]

I wouldn’t say it’s the biggest, though it”s probably the longest wave ever surfed at Uluwatu with a 90+ second ride (I missed the first 5 to 7 seconds of the tow-in). Let me know what you think below….the wave, the ride or my brilliant commentary while running thru the Blue Point restaurant to see the end of the ride haha.

a big Cheers to Andrei Ovchinnikov https://www.instagram.com/dolphinsurfandrei/ for an amazing ride….well done!

This was a day for the memory books as this was the biggest swell to hit Indonesia in the past 40+ years.

I paddled out in the afternoon and the river-like current made it near impossible to be in the right spot for bombs like this one. My constellation prize….I took the current and surfed Padang Padang for the evening session.

If you find a video of a longer wave ever ridden out at Uluwatu, be sure to post it in the comments below.

Cheers from Uluwatu, Bali…

Fluke Flussell says:

I was there about 3 weeks before this was taken, the swell we got while we were there only peaked with faces of about 9-10 feet, but The current they call racetracks over there near the cave entrance is so strong you can only paddle across it.

I did the same as you and paddled to padang padang lol

Just getting out would be an achievement. So much water moving around out there. Crazy big. Ski def makes it more doable!
