Asu is a 200m left hand point break with 3 distinct barrel sections that will present challenges to every level of surfer. The break is situated on the northern tip of a small palm tree fringed island that you can walk all the way around in just 2 hours. In the water, you can watch the energy from the safety of the channel, sit on the shoulder and pick off a few good ones, or get into the bowl on the main take-off and line up some bombs, maybe even backdoor a couple. The choice is yours, get as deep as you like… Come to Asu and experience free-surfing on "the perfect wave without the crowd". 

On this island you can perform a variety of activities, from sunbathing on the beach, swimming, tracking around the island, fishing, to surfing. The water around Asu is blue, blue, blue and sometimes the visibility can be up to 30m when the swell is down, so the snorkeling and fishing around these islands is amazing and is a great way to take a break and spend a day away from small surf. We also have a fitness bungalow for rainy days where we stock yoga mats, dumbbells and weight machines, and have made a space where you can move, stretch, and strengthen your body by cross-training in any weather or surf conditions.
