E-bay is a fast, barreling left that gets good when it's head high or bigger. When a pumping west swell is marching through, E-bay does a close impersonation of Padang Padang on Bali without the death cliff looming inside, and only a death reef instead. The overall set-up at E-bay is flawless, stereotypical Indonesian, with beautiful, bluish-green water and tall palm trees everywhere. Besides its aesthetic beauty, double overhead E-bay is a beast and force to be reckon with.
Our Advice: E-Bay is pretty fickle. If you get to surf here consider yourself lucky. Even if E-Bay isn't breaking you have a great alternative 100 yards away at Pitstops. You won't realize there are waves in there unless you check it out in the dinghy.
Recommended Board: Usually you can get away with your shortboard but anything overhead and you might want to grab the next largest board in your arsenal.
