Padang PadangImpossibles
Worth knowing.
- 1. Watch a set from the cliff before you paddle. The takeoff is smaller than the photos and shallower than you want.
- 2. Impossibles is the longer left if Padang is a zoo or out of your range. Still a reef.
- 3. Dry season is the window. A small day is still a sharp coral takeoff.
- 4. The walk down from the warungs is the way in. Booties are not vanity.
Go.
