Questa è un'onda sinistra molto lunga che rompe a lato a Bingin, procedendo verso Uluwatu. Per raggiungerlo è possibile farlo con una ventina di minuti a nuoto da Bingin oppure procedendo avanti sulla strada verso Ulu e lasciando il mezzo nei pressi di un ponticello da dove si vede il mare. L'onda è molto veloce, non è quasi mai surfabile nella sua interezza, da qui il nome. Di solito si formano gruppetti di surfisti qua e là lungo l'onda e ognuno ne surfa un pezzo, fino a che questa chiude. Raramente produce onde veramente valide(di solito con mareggiate giganti e una pericolosa bassa marea) ma è un buon posto dove è possibile rifugiarsi quando si è stufi della gente. Impossibles di solito produce onde assai più grandi di Bingin, apparentemente pure il doppio di misura!

Is well named! Renowned for high-speed tube runs, but sooner or later it will race past you. There are 3 separate peaks on this wide reef which breaks up the crowds. On the right conditions with a good size swell and offshore wind it is possible for the sections to link up and to get a ride of a mile or more to the warungs at Bingin. Better on dead low tide and giant swell.
From the Bingin warungs, on the right day, you might just catch a glimpse of one of the most picturesque waves not only on the Bukit Peninsula but in the world. A passerby can’t help but notice the 400-metre peeling left-handers that roll in across Impossibles reef. Alas, this is typically pure ocean trickery as Impossibles Bali, like its name, is often impossible to keep up with. You can expect quick sections that leave surfers feeling defeated. However, under ideal conditions (mid-low tide and over 5 ft), Impossibles can open up and you can expect a near perfect ride.
Impossibles is well known for long tubes that are more than likely to lock you out. While there doesn’t seem to be an exact science to predicting waves at impossibles, the break is known to line up on larger swells (5 ft +) and especially low tides. There are typically two take off zones to choose from at Impossibles; the top and bottom sections. The upper section may work on a smaller swell but the bottom section is known for its predictably hollow sections.
On the right day, under perfect conditions, you may spot a set breaking from the top end of the reef near Padang Padang that will hold up through walled, barreling, and long shoulder sections for upwards of 400 meters. These will dump you right at the top of Bingin closing out in front of the lagoon. Last tip: be sure to know your limits. Although Impossibles is always a couple of feet smaller than Uluwatu it can definitely be a swell magnet in the dry season and surfers should be prepared with an entry and exit strategy from the water (with or without your board).
situato tra Bingin e Padang Padang. Onda sinistra, molto lunga e veloce quando supera il metro e mezzo e con marea media.
