G-Land, Alas Purwo National Park, East Java, Indonesia: The upcoming 2025 Annual Surfing Doctors Conference at the Jawa Jiwa Camp at G-Land is strictly capped at 30 people, and there are limited slots available. The last few slots will be taken quite quickly, so if you’re thinking about it, now’s the time to jump on board.
It has been a good season in G-land so far this year, but September is always a good month, and there will no doubt be some good swell coinciding with the Conference, so bring that board with some extra volume.
The conference dates are September 20–30, 2025 at the Jawa Jiwa Camp. It’s a great location in the jungle with excellent facilities. Check out Jawa Jiwa here.
