BEST TIME TO TRAVEL: 

APRIL THROUGH TO OCTOBER

Impossibles is well named. Renowned for high-speed tube runs, but sooner or later it will race past you. Sometimes though it lines up perfectly, usually on giant swells at dead low tide. You can either paddle out from Padang or Bingin.

Take-off spots tend to shift around a lot, so don’t worry if it looks a bit crowded. Take your time checking where the sets break wide, and then get out there and be patient waiting for your Impossible dream to come true.
