The wave
Krui Right breaks off the other side of the town reef. It's shorter and softer than the Left, and useful for your first day, small swells and regular-footers who want to surf forehand on a coast full of lefts.
It works at 2-6ft with easy takeoffs and walls you can turn on, over reef with a bit of depth. When the bigger waves on the coast are too big or blown out, the Right is usually still surfable.
The lineup is friendly, with local kids, visitors getting over jet lag and some longboarders. Bring whatever board you enjoy most.
