The 'Ria Wasata' is a comfortable 65ft Balinese Outrigger which is very well maintained in the off season every year. It sleeps up to 12 people comfortably in 12 single bunks.

A fully enclosed cabin keeps out the elements, while opening windows and curtains along its length allow for regulation of air and sunlight. As a lot of time (whilst not surfing) will be spent on the deck, there is a large canopy for shelter from the sun and loose cushions for comfort.

  • There's a toilet and shower area for a wash down towards the back of the boat.

  • A roofed area of the deck allows you to sit comfortably in the shade ... that is if you can resist the barrels pouring through only 50 metres away!

  • A zodiac is used to transfer surfers to the surf and is also an extra safety feature. The crew will also pick you up after you finish surfing - the usually signal is to hold the nose of your board in the air.

  • Five outboard motors and streamlined hull give speed and relaibility getting you quickly between the breaks.

  • Snorkeling and fishing gear is also available.

  • All harbour and boat permits are kept in order by the captain and a marine radio is on board for general and emergency use.

  • Lifejackets are supplied for all on board.

  • A good quality stereo, television and DVD on board can provide a chance to view some of the days surfing and activities, so bring your favourite CD's and your video camera (which is rechargeable on board using an adaptor). Or take in a video you can hire from Bali prior to departing.

  • Mobile phone reception is available for more than half of the journey depending on location.

  • GPS system & depth sounder.

  • Where possible, some motoring is done at night.

All these features make this the best outrigger surf trip available.

Food & Drinks
The crew dive for seafood as well as trolling for fish and combined with rice dishes, fresh fruit and vegetables, chicken, noodles and non alcoholic drinks the hungriest should be satisfied.
Alcholic drinks can be purcahsed before the trip begins - Spirits you can get duty free on your way to Bali (plenty of coke & fanta is supplied) and the captain Wayan can organise crates of beer for you at locals prices (as there is nothing quite like a Bintang or two after a hard days surfing!)
The boat is equipped with two large iceboxs to keep drinks cold and food fresh.

The Captain & Crew
Wayan Linas is the very experienced captain who has at least 4 crew (Including Made a surf guide) with him on each trip.

You will find all the crew very friendly and happy to serve you... nothing seems too much trouble for these layed back Balinese.
