Located in Sumbawa, Indonesia, Lakey Pipe Surf is a fun reef break that offers up a left hander very popular with body boarders for its ledgy barrel. The waves here are very difficult to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a coral reef. The entrance time is very narrow, then the wave speeds hard towards a shelf that jacks it up quick.
