Boat description

With 8 years experience in surf charters, Dreamweaver offers quality, affordable, surfing charters & tours, from Bali to Lembongan, Lombok, & Sumbawa.

Visiting world class reef breaks, like Desert Point, Scar Reef, YoYo's & Supersucks, you will travel in comfort & style aboard Dreamweaver, an Australian owned, 80ft traditional Indonesian Jukung Outrigger – designed specifically for surf charters.

This style of boat is very stable, fast and roomy, it also has a shallow draft, thus being able to anchor in shallow smoother bays allowing for a more comfortable nights sleep. Dreamweaver sleeps up to 14 guests comfortably, although they prefer to keep the number of guests down to 12, to save overcrowding in the surf. There is ample storage space for packs and surfboards, a large, covered, open air dining/chilling out area, and an air conditioned lounge. There is a DVD player and TV with huge range of movies and12 Disc CD player with 300w amp, Subwoofer and FM Tuner. She has a western style dual flush toilet, and bathroom with shower. The fully equipped galley is separate from the living area.  They have 240 volt power with international adaptors for charging video cameras and appliances and full safety equipment including a comprehensive first aid kit.

Dreamweaver is powered by a 250hp diesel engine, this enables her to be faster, (less travel time between waves) safer, (no large amounts of flammable fuel, as on outboard powered boats) and more reliable. They also have a 4 metre tender powered by a 15hp outboard to get you from the boat to the waves and back.

Accommodation

14 large bunk style beds in an air conditioned cabin

Surf breaks

The Islands of Lombok & Sumbawa are to the South East of Bali and are home to some incredible set ups.

Shipwrecks: The most famous and most surfed of all the waves on Nusa Lembongan, this right produces a good wall for manoeuvres and, depending on the tide, good tubes. Best at medium tide with a 4 to 6 foot swell, but can hold bigger swell on a good day.

Lacerations: A powerful and very hollow right hander that can produce some of the best barrels around if the swell direction is right. Best at medium tide with swell of 3 to 8 feet. Breaks on very sharp live coral reef, hence the name!!

Playgrounds: A right and a left with a soft coral bottom that are very easy and fun to surf, being the favourites of inexperienced surfers and Longboarders. Best with medium swell (3 to 6 foot) and medium or high tide.

Desert Point: A long walled and incredibly hollow left hander that on its day can break up to 300 meters, growing in size from takeoff to end. Has been called the best left hander in the world, if you get it when it’s on you will never forget it! Best between 3-8 ft.

Belongas Bay: This is a fairly typical Indo reef break. Nice and consistent with powerful long rides when the swell picks up. Sensitive to winds. It's better during the raining season with NE winds.
Two main peaks:
The right: Good peaky right on the west side. Can be powerful.
The left: At the east side of the bay. Doesn’t always work, but very good when it’s on.

Air Guling: 2 breaks - a hollow shifty left, best at mid to high tide.
A nice right with a fast inside section, best at low to midtide has reasonable protection from the wind.

Gerupuk: This is a huge bay about 7 km east of Kuta, and on a big day it offers a few different breaks around the bay. It can handle any winds as it’s protected and surrounded by hills

Inside Gerupuk Or Bumbang Bay: A right-hander, a fun wave suitable for all levels of ability breaking over flat reef or sand bottom. The big days of southwest swell can be a great time to surf it. This break is surf-able at any time of year, best on the incoming tide.

Gerupuk Outside Or Gili Golong: A right-hander, good at mid to high tide. A huge wave and big take off at the point, then a long ride when you get to the inside section, which can be fast and hollow. Up to a maximum of 10 foot.

Don Don: A right and left hand peak suitable for all abilities, can be a real fun break especially on a bigger swell, best on an outgoing tide.

Pelawangan: Another right-hander that’s good for beginners, only on big days,
it can get very hollow on the right tide.

Ekas Bay: Is located on the east side of Kuta. A reef break, it has two spots.

Outside Ekas: A good left-hander that breaks close to the entrance of the channel that can break for up to 200 meters on the right day.
