     G-land Hard Wave. Dave Thomas the Photographer and Allan the Capten. they going to capture surfer in G-land. but in the middle , they were in Prevent big waves. its very hard to take picture in the g-land .

   It was around 1972 that G-Land’s surf potential was discovered. And it was two of the first surfers to come here, brothers Bill and Mike Boyum who spawned the idea of a surf camp. Mesmerized by  G-Land‘s set-up from their first trips, a deep connection formed and the desire to make their jungle camping experience established materialized in 1976.




     It’s arguable that this was the first surf camp ever created. A Balinese friend of the brothers named Nyoman “Bobby” Radiasa was part of the adventure from the beginning. Since 1982, Bobby has owned and operated the camp, continually making refinements and upgrades to the facilities. His operational vision focuses on keeping the original dream a reality, but with more comfort and safety than before. Form more than 30 years the G-Land experience of great friends, great food, friendly service and of course wave riding bliss continues

     G-Land Surf is stereotypically known for its grinding down the line barrels over shallow reef, especially when almost all photo's depict surfers slotted and committed into gaping top to bottom pits. In reality, those photo's are mostly of one section of a very long stretch of reef. When guests stay at G-Land there is an abundance of waves on offer, from the grinding left-hand barrels G Land is famous for, all the way down to small hot-dog right-handers.


The waves up the point rarely drop below head high, and flat days are almost unheard of. If the big main point break is too much to handle for your skill level, there is always quality waves further into the bay.


G-Land Bobby's Surf Camp is located directly in front of Money Trees, making the main point break directly accessible, and conditions can be assessed with a quick stroll through the camp onto the beach. To get to 20/20's and Tigertracks you can enjoy a scenic walk through the jungle or beach, although most people prefer to use our transport truck or zodiac with which we offer round trips for just a few dollars.

A few families who holidayed at the same time in G-Land Bobby's Surf Camp the past few years

The grommets and girlfriends can go surfing down at Tigertracks and 20/20s with our ease of access to those waves, and small Kongs is great for them too. These waves are also fun for the man as well as they are high quality and good shape, perfect for ripping it up. Dad can tackle the bigger more challenging waves out front while the family are frolicking in fun playful waves.

Tigertracks also boasts possibly the most beautiful beach in the vicinity of G-Land, and is very nice for family to hang out and enjoy for the day.

These girls dance to the music, and all our guests are encouraged to go up and dance with a girl. It is great fun, and seeing some of the dancing styles of the surfers is always interesting.
