Every thing you've heard about Telescopes is true. It's a remarkably long left which tempts you to sit deeper and deeper, almost daring you to backdoor an impossible section. With size, the wave breaks for over a half mile outside and descends upon the formal take-off area at mach one. Fortunately, by the time it reaches the pack its slowed down a bit and ready to serve up a wondrous, steep, hollow wall. Telescopes is frequented by many boats based on its premiere quality. However, there always seems to be plenty of waves to go around and when its absolutely firing at six to eight foot many less accomplished surfers watch it from the safe confines of their boats, videocameras in hand.
Our Advice: Telescopes has the potential to be the best wave in Indonesia. We suggest you sit too far outside than to not be out far enough. The current on the inside is vicious; sit wide and wait for the swinger sets and you'll save a lot of energy from paddling.
Recommended Board: Once you see the waves make the best call for yourself.
