It is also possible to take a boat from Gerupuk. There are two resorts on the east of Ekas bay called u201cHeaven on the Planetu201d and u00bbOcean Heavenu00ab, both New Zealand owned.nn1. Ekas InsidenEkas Inside located further inside the bay, is a fun walling peak, with a fast right and a long left. It needs a big swell and south east winds to work, with lower tides being the best for the right and higher tides for the left. With the right conditions, it is a well worth the trip.nn2. Ekas OutsidenEkas Outside is a left-hander about 1km south of Ekas Inside, and due to its exposed position gets more swell. When itu2019s big it offers huge drops, heavy long walls and long hold downs. Sharks have been seen here, but with no reports of attacks. The currents here can be challenging.
