The discovery in the protected jungle of Alas Purwo began when West Australian surfer Barry Middleton searched intently for surf breaks throughout Indonesia, Timor, Roti, Flores, Sumba, Sumbawa, Lombok, Bali, Java and Sumatra. After discovering and surfing all the coral reef surf breaks of Bali, Barry started his search on the southeast coast of Java during mid-1971. Before that, whilst surfing in Western Australia, he had witnessed the huge rolling swells traveling north through the Indian Ocean. He had a theory there was great surfing potential in Indonesia. |
