There's been an offer of some petrol money a ...

How do you stop a wave pool getting crowded?

Moreover, how do you stop a wave pool getting crowded when it's Govt-owned? (and so, everyone has a right to use it)

You raise another good point, willie Not only has every pair of boardshorts I've looked at in the past 12 months had a back pocket - but the pocket isnt even big enough to hold a mobile phone, let alone a wallet I bought a pair of Quiksilvers about 5 years ago that were the perfect design. I shredde...

Why does anyone make boardies with a pocket on the back?

The loop is hard to reach when you want to remove your key

And the key sticks into your arse when you sit on your board

Shouldn't all key pockets be on the side?

Couldn't see any crowds of surfers gathered round a keg or a BBQ

Lots of tourists & families, though

OK - this gives me a better idea of what to expect

I'd been watching the daily Bali pics on the Realsurf site - and every day looked like uncrowded perfection

I suspected it was too good to be true

Apart from Betadine, what should I pack that I wouldnt necessarily take on a trip up the north coast?

Bali Crowds

How crowded is it in Bali during June?

And are the crowds as inconsiderate as they are on the Nthn Beaches? - snaking, dropping in, hassling, getting in the way

I started when I was still in my mother's womb, and on my first day I got shacked at Teahupoo

I was blindfolded at the time & had my arms tied behind my back too

I was just a really quick learner, yknow?
