In an article on the Indo Surf Life website you can read about the discovery of this Point from the makers of a movie titled Secrets of Desert Point. The trailer is accompanied with the following description:
'In the early eighties, while sailing in crude, leaky boats off remote Lombok Island in Indonesia, young California surfer Bill Heick and his friends stumbled across the perfect wave…. Join us for a journey on one of the last great dirtbag adventures of the 20th Century…one passed through three generations. And learning that if you want to keep paradise, you need to stand up for it.'
Heick also posted the video below showing footage from the early days of their discovery of Desert Point.
