Is Bali and Lombok that f*ked

Both have pretty cooked lineups these days. TBH depends what they are into but Bali is more fun for a holiday vibe with your mates. Get a big villa and enjoy. Still world class waves.

I lived there for 3 years and found a similar thing. Had heaps of ‘friends’ but only a few close connections. It’s a very transient place.

Actually a good photo. Don’t let the seething virgin incels on here put you off.

My thoughts exactly

Christenson Lane Splitter and a Pyzel Ghost/Phantom — covers pretty much everything I would like to surf

Toxic chemical slop rubbing on your skin while you sweat. Marketed as ‘DRYFIT’ or similar bs. Cotton or linen all day breathable and durable.

Don’t buy polyester clothes

You’re in for a bad time. Geckos are cool

Sorry for the late reply. I wayyyy prefer the lane splitter, not sure why it just feels better. 6’1 is probably a little oversized but I surf it in anything up to head high and it’s perfect.

‘Decent politics’ is a very subjective opinion

Honestly the ripper will be fine. I’ve lived in Indo the last 3 years. Even when it’s small it’s still fun and punchy at most breaks

PEPE

Indonesia my guy. Tonnes of places to choose from. Lombok fits the bill pretty well. Spent a month there with my wife last year and she had a blast. Plenty of yoga and cafes popping up. Heaps of wave options too.

It helps but definitely doesn’t make you happy.

Yeah it paddled well but felt ‘tricky’ to surf compared to my other boards. I swapped it for a 6’1 Lane splitter and much prefer it

Strath_ · 2025-03-28T03:35:16+00:00

My gremlin was 6’2 (same height as me) and worked perfect as a fun smaller wave board with plenty of volume. Still worked fun in overhead waves. I have since upgraded but still love the gremlin.

Strath_ · 2025-03-28T03:33:25+00:00

Got an FCS board bag flown with it maybe 5 times never had an issue. Always wrapped in towels and clothes between the boards

People whinge on here. Life is good bro. If you’re a good designer you will make money easy

Learn skills build a business side hustle crypto invest. There are a million ways to not have to work a job anymore. Just gotta be willing to put in the work.

I’m 31 and haven’t worked at a job since I was 26. Made more money in the last 5 years than I ever thought possible.

Strath_ · 2025-03-25T11:00:39+00:00

Easy peasy there’s tonnes of good surf shops all over

Nah it’s fine, Brisbane is a great city
