JAVA JIVE
Welcome to Java Jive — a cinematic longboard short edit from the laid-back point break of Batukaras, West Java. Tucked away on Indonesia’s coast, Batukaras has quietly built a cult following for its mellow, mechanical walls that seem tailor-made for logging.
In this piece, surfers Tedi, Mencos, and Ross draw clean lines and graceful arcs across endless right-handers, tapping into the soul of traditional longboarding. From glassy dawn patrols to the warm hues of golden hour, Java Jive captures the rhythm of a surf community where time slows down and style reigns supreme.
A far cry from the thundering reefs of Uluwatu or Desert Point, Batukaras offers a different kind of perfection — playful, consistent, and infinitely rideable. Whether you’re chasing trim, travel, or just a taste of Indonesia’s more soulful side, this film invites you to drop in and feel the flow.
