SURABAYA - Red Island is similar Kuta Beach in Bali, but more waves roll (up to two meters long and 300 meters), where it allows surfers to maneuver with tubes technique. Waves on the beach red island could certainly be of interest novice surfers, amateurs and professionals as it has an average level of a two-meter. This is in contrast to the Turkish Plengkung or G-Land are just a lot more professional surfers enjoyed.
Name of previous Red Island is Turkish Ringin Pitu. Substitution renamed the Red Island is based on two versions. Some say because of the color of reddish soil and sand from the island as high as 200 meters. Some are mentioned, purportedly from the Red Island which is in front of its coast (approximately 100 meters) that was once emitted red light so that local residents call it the Red Island.
Another attraction of this beach is its proximity to the fishing village Pancer. You can also take advantage of the citizens to stay home, feel the friendliness and simplicity of fishermen will be a different experience than usual.
