Rope Burns
A high-quality right-hander that peels tightly along the edge of a cliff line at the end of the bay. The spot earned its name from the severe reef friction burns surfers encounter when wiping out here.
How to Get to Rope Burns
To reach Rope Burns, travel from Tambolaka or Waikabubak toward the central-southern coastline of Sumba. The journey takes roughly 1.5 hours by road; once you reach the nearest coastal village, a short walk or a quick paddle out from the shore will get you to the lineup.
The region around Rope Burns is mostly untouched by major tourism, offering a pristine and quiet atmosphere. Accommodation consists primarily of traditional village homestays and a few scattered surf camps that provide rustic comfort alongside local meals and surf guiding services.
