2ge Brano Post Count: 7 Msg: #1 78 days ago, June 4th 2008 | Hello, | I will go to Indonesia from Singapore - soon (around 25.6.) and one of my dream is try/learn surfing. I never did it before, but I guess it should be fun, I'm snowboarding more than 10 years, is there something like good season for surfing, or it is OK during all the year? Do you have any good, nice and cheap place where I can stay in bungalow and take (if it is necessary, I dont know) surfing course? Friend told me cheap and nice place is Sumatra, but I don't know exact location, I am also thinking about Bali. I have no air tickets yet, but I will buy from Tiger Airways (From Singapore to Padang cost return ticket 60 EUR, which is OK)... If someone want to join my journey, every cool person is welcome :) nonon magdalena atmadja Post Count: 4 Msg: #2 77 days ago, June 4th 2008 | Surfing in Indonesia u can do that in Bali, Mentawais, Sumatra, Nias, G-Land, Java, Lombok, Sumbawa, | Sumba, Timor chek out : http://www.indosurf.com.au/indo_surf_spots/book_contents.php http://www.sumatransurfariis.com/ For First time learn surfing I think beter in Bali.

Also I was on sumatransurfariis before (found on google), but it seems they make business only for rich people, not backpackers.

It is quite easy for me, it is only about training... | beracun budhi firman Post Count: 7 Msg: #7 41 days ago, July 10th 2008 | hi 2ge, post your article with pic...i think we will like it | Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 7 | |||||||||||||||
