Atmosphere
Remote and beautiful. With at least 10 surf breaks in Ekas Bay and on the remote south-east corner of Lombok. All accessible by road or boat from Heaven on the Planet. the only real beginner's wave in Lombok, plus crash hot waves when it is big. works on every swell at the bay or on the southern reefs. Easy left, hard right and barrelling right all within 1 km of the resort
General
I spend 3-4 months a year there. It is extremely beautiful, great waves and super easy lifestyle. There is diving, snorkelling and the only real skateboard bowl for a 1000 km.

accommodation at ekas - Does anybody know if there is a place 2 stay close 2 Ekas except 4 HOTP. Do they (HOTP) realy charge those ridiculous prices that they have on their homepage. Or is it like elsewhere...(pay one quarter when u show up)?

Great Wave - Ekas is a great wave surfed there April 2004, turned up by boat, it was flat had a sleep and when woke up it was already 3 foot. Jumped in at Outside but current was too strong so went down to Insides- within an hour it was about 4 foot and climbing, peaking at around 5 to 6. Surfed it 4 hours solid and slept well that night. The wave just continues to wall up and it is a long paddle back to the line up. Worth a look when everywhere else is huge.
