Many people, especially those heading to G-Land fo Many people, especially those heading to G-Land for the first time, ask us about the location and Jawa Jiwa surf camp.

So, to set the scene: you’re heading into the jungle. More precisely, to Grajagan and Plengkung Beach in the Alas Purwo National Park, on the southeastern edge of Java, Indonesia.

There’s the ocean out front, with around 2km of reef to surf, and the jungle out back. Tiger Tracks is nearby, and the name didn’t come from someone’s imagination. There are also lots of monkeys.

Jawa Jiwa itself, however, is very comfortable. The rooms have air conditioning, there’s good Wi-Fi, the food is excellent and the Bintangs are always cold.

It’s also a set-up that works particularly well for the Surfing Doctors Annual Conference. The atmosphere is relaxed, the surf is right there, and minor medical procedures during breakfast aren’t exactly standard, but they have been known to happen.

There are still one or two spots available for this year’s conference. If you’d like to join us, follow the link in bio or send us a DM and we’ll get back to you.

Just over two weeks to go before we get on the fast boat from Jimbaran and head out to G-Land.

The Surfing Doctors Annual Conference at Jawa Jiwa The Surfing Doctors Annual Conference at Jawa Jiwa in G-Land is less than three weeks away. If you’re interested in attending, reach out via the link in bio. The Indonesian season has been relentless and shows no signs of slowing down, so maybe pack an extra step-up. Or two. The jungle is waiting… some reminders of the swell during the 2023 Conference  #surfingdoctors #surfing #surf #relaxassessreact

Three years after joining the Surfing Doctors, Irina Balieva has packed plenty into the journey: medical work from Norway to Indonesia, time in the clinic at Nias, a memorable shoulder reduction at Rifles and some serious waves along the way. 
Now a surgical resident in Stavanger and preparing to become a mother, she catches us up on medicine, travel, surfing and why the advice to simply commit still holds up. Solid attempt at Kanduis in the mix! Follow the link in out bio for the full interview #surfingdoctors #relaxassessreact #surfing #surf #surfinglife

With a couple of G-Land trips already behind him and rural generalism somewhere on the horizon, we caught up with Nathan somewhere between the Sunshine Coast and Broome. #surfing #surf #surfinglife #surfingdoctors #relaxassessreact - link in bio for full interview

Goofy-footer, medical student, photographer, tube Goofy-footer, medical student, photographer, tube maestro and surf forecaster, Cole Heine keeps himself busy and is one of the  newest members to sign up with the Surfing Doctors. 

As soon as he had filled in the paper work so to speak (there’s not much paperwork), he was en route to Indo and the Jawa Jiwa camp at G-Land, home to the upcoming Surfing Doctors Annual Conference 2026. 

While there, Cole met up with a pumping swell that stuck around for days, and managed to score a few absolute bombs in the process. 

“Being in the ocean and solving the puzzle. Studying the forecast, spending time watching how a wave behaves, learning which swells, tides and winds make it work, trying different boards to find the right match, and then finally putting it all together to score epic surf - that’s just the coolest thing in the world.” - Cole Heine.

A full interview with Cole lives on our website, link in bio. #surfing #surf #surfinglife #surfingdoctors #relaxassesreact

Indo has been on the pump for the last two weeks. Indo has been on the pump for the last two weeks. Lots of swell and energy at G-Land, but some bombs at Ulus and Padang. Surfing Doctors core member @snothling scored epic Outside Corner, with just a handful of guys in the water. A long and arduous paddle thinned out the population completely, but Simon got some good training for the upcoming Surfing Doctors Annual Conference at @jawajiwagland next month. #surfing #surf #surfinglife #surfingdoctors #relaxassessreact

We don’t usually surrender to the Flashback Friday We don’t usually surrender to the Flashback Friday trope, but Indonesia 2023 makes a reasonable case for it.

Warm water, quality waves, tropical Indonesia and a gathering of doctors with a fairly convincing argument for combining continuing medical education with time in the ocean.

A few frames from the Surfing Doctors Conference and around Indonesia at the time. Excellent waves, familiar faces and reminders of a very good trip.

Good times, good people, and a conference format that remains difficult to improve upon.

With the Surfing Doctors Annual Conference at Jawa With the Surfing Doctors Annual Conference at Jawa Jiwa, G-Land just around the corner, we dug out some recent and archival lefts from around the world to get us into the rhythm of Kongs, Moneytrees, Launch Pads and Speedies — and all those little sections in between.

If you want to be part of one of the most unusual medical conferences in the world, track us down via the link in our bio. There are still a few spots left.

Gnarly lefts ©️ WSL, plus a couple of screen grabs from here and there.

Catching Up with Sam Duffy. “...all going to plan Catching Up with Sam Duffy.

“...all going to plan, stick the late drop into a deep bottom turn before setting up a few turns at the top of the point before shaping up for a hollow section through Money Trees or into Speedies.

In reality, I probably went over the falls and am making the paddle of shame back up the point, but I wouldn’t die wondering.” For the full interview with Sam follow the link in our bio #surfing #surf #surfing #surfingdoctors #surfdocs
