Which airport are you flying out of? You shouldn't have any troubles gettin $25 USD from any major airport, there's plenty of currency exchange traders.
Otherwise, last time I went to Indonesia I just paid for the Visa in AUD.

Re: Sri Lanka or Taiwan in April
Hi Jimi, I was in Sri Lanka for about a month in March to April of 2012. Just for travel as it was outside both sides of the island's surf season but managed to get a few waves in around hikkaduwa & arugum. I wouldn't travel there at that time of year for a surf trip. hikkaduwa was mosty 2ft with on...

Re: Chasing the dragon
I feel like this song sums it up pretty well.

Plenty of people I know sacrifice much looking for the chamber. It does feel pretty good though.

Re: Events at Nazare
Agreed, one wave i watched; the surfer was towed in, cruised down the bumpy face, bit of a turn and off the shoulder without it even breaking. Sure there's huge consequences when it does break and it's easy to judge sitting behind a computer but the excitement from big wave surfing comes from the da...

Good point Tonka. They certainly got pretty vocal about it on the SN article. Drops my opinion of them even further.

Re: Maldives surf trip...
So Lohis is exclusive to 35 surfers starting 2014, sultans & honkeys exclusive before the construction is even finished, as well as exclusivity at pasta point. So there are only really 3 or 4 other world class breaks which are't yet exclusive? Sounds like the maldives just got shit. I for one will b...

Re: Indonesian surf travel website.
Hey Indo,
What happened to your website?
I remember looking at it a year or so ago and it was great for procrastinating.
I didn't realize it was yours when I first looked at it

Re: Lord Howe Island
I haven't been so can't speak from personal experience but I know someone who has and said it was great, expensive though. Not sure what time of year either, but theres plenty of swell exposure.
Balls pyramid looks pretty amazing.

Happy to chip in. Animal Chin's signature alone is enough to throw a bit of cash over. A few more gifs like that around the page and the traffic should increase dramatically!

Re: SHARK ATTACK!!!! (in Victoria)
I was surfing down that way this weekend. Sitting in the water with about 5 others waiting for a set when one of those buggers (a bit over 2m long) swim right under me. No one else in the water noticed it and it took no notice of us either. It just cruised on past. People must unknowingly encounter ...

Re: Maldives surf trip...
Thanks Don, I was aware of the impact Vaavu Atoll plays on South Male but don't really know anything about the Central apart from what I've read. I might have taken some misunderstanding and made it truth. I suppose there are a few more spots open to different swell directions in the Central Atolls ...

Re: Maldives surf trip...
Hi Don, Can you explain the difference in swell exposure between the Male atolls and the Central atolls? I read somewhere that the central atolls will typically be smaller than Male but they look like they have the same exposure to the SE & S swells (with the exception of some central spots being ex...

Re: Samoa April
Yeah, they got hit pretty bad. The only thing not needing to much work was the surf house. No Brent or Clarke & not sure about the owners, they seemed pretty nice, I think I recall something about them being newish owners? Just surfed outer siumu, coconuts, pebbles & sales. Sales really is an awesom...
