-Lower Mountains/Beginners/Inner Tubes.
The wave tends to be bigger and better when the swell is more west, and suffers from lengthy flat spells. It can hold virtually any size swell, the main problem being the very strong winds in season, which make getting into bigger waves more difficult, (over 25 knots at times). The wave is unusual in that it often gets bigger further down the wave, due to focusing from refraction.
There are numerous other waves in the area, of low to excellent quality, although access is sometimes only by boat, and some of these won't work at different times of the very large tidal range of more than 6m.
These include Boa, Sucky Mamas, Dana, Do'a, the Bommie, and several other offshore island waves, as well as waves further around to the east of the island sometimes without a name, although these need very large swells.
Surfing is a surface water sport in which an individual, a surfer, uses a board to ride on the forward section, or face, of a moving wave of water, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found on ocean shores, but can also be found in standing waves in the open ocean, in lakes, in rivers in the form of a tidal bore, or in wave pools.

A surf break is a permanent obstruction such as a coral reef, rock, shoal, or headland that causes a wave to break, forming a barreling wave or other wave that can be surfed, before it eventually collapses. The topography of the seabed determines the shape of the wave and type of break. Since shoals can change size and location, affecting the break, it takes commitment and skill to find good breaks. Some surf breaks are quite dangerous, since the surfer can collide with a reef or rocks below the water.

The Delha Affair, sometimes known as the Nusak Delha Affair, was a civil conflict and dispute that led to an uprising in May 1960 in Rote Ndao Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The cause of the conflict was a dispute about the amount of taxation owed by villagers to the government. The villagers — led by ex-army officer Matheos Petrus — argued for a lower taxation rate. The matter escalated further when the Indonesian National Party (PNI) became involved and supported the cause of the villagers, resulting in a demonstration against the governor of the province during his visit. Later, the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) also became involved and supported Matheos' cause in return of being allowed to establish a branch in the village. It culminated in a clash between local officials escorted by police that visited the village attacked and the villagers, resulting in the deaths of two police officers and two villagers. At the end, fearing reprisals from police, the villagers scorched down their village causing brief waves of refugees to neighbouring villages. While some officials accused PKI as the cause of the conflict, it was later found that PKI's involvement was minimal.
