Spot Guide › Indonesia › Bali / East Java › Bali → Java Strait downwind crossing
Bali / East Java, Indonesia · -8.1800, 114.4500
Best wind
Downwind crossing documented; exact successful wind direction is not published
Water
Open strait crossing between Bali and Java; exact line and water-state detail are not published in the forum discussion
Experience
Expert expedition crossing; not a recreational launch record
Hazards
Open-water strait exposure with undisclosed endpoints, distance, current, traffic, weather window, support and bailout plan. The forum record documents an expedition, not a repeatable public route.
Parking & access
No launch, landing, shuttle, vessel support or public access detail is disclosed. Do not use this midpoint as a launch pin.
“The Progression Project forum documents Josh Ku's Bali-to-Java downwind crossing and community members report watching the completed expedition film. The discussion supplies no public launch, landing, distance, discipline subtype or support-plan detail, so the coordinate is only a schematic Bali Strait midpoint.”
