Lakey Pipe
Lakey Pipe is a fast, hollow left reef break sitting right next to the famous Lakey Peak in East Sumbawa. The wave is gnarlier and more intense than its neighbour, producing pitching tubes over shallow reef that make it a favourite among bodyboarders and tube-riding specialists. When solid SW swell hits, Lakey Pipe lights up with barrel after barrel, offering one of the heaviest rides in the region.
