Watch: Dreamy Roll-Ins in the G-Land Jungle

Geographically, G-Land on Java is close to Bali's Uluwatu peninsula, but the waves might as well be in two different worlds.

Where Uluwatu's cliff is packed with warungs and hosts thousands of surfers in the lineup every day, G-land looks much the same today as it did when it was first surfed in the 70s. Dense jungle. Native Tigers. Modest accommodations.

And way less surfers.

Otherwise, Uluwatu and G-Land share similarities. Both waves face the same general direction, are reeling lefthanders, and offer a series of unique barreling sections, depending on the swell and tide.

Recently, the Drifter Surf team bailed on Ulu's for a day at G-Land. And despite G-Land's proximity to Drifter's Uluwatu backyard, it's apparently not a place they strike often.

"The Drifter team pilgrimage to the famed Grajagan Bay doesn't happen as often as one might think," says the description with this new edit. "In an archipelago with over 17,000 islands, there are so many empty waves open to self-discovery that we occasionally forget to check the ones that are just across the pond. However, when a late-season swell promised some significant size paired with just the right direction, all eyes were set on that very special stretch of reef on the shores of the tiger's lair."

As you'll see in the clip above, they felt (and looked) right at home in the G-land jungle.
