Re: Intermediate surf spot - Bali/Lombok

Bali - Balangan Lombok - Grupuk ..have surfed it and stayed in Kuta, Lombok 3 times....great spot. sweet as waves and locals. you sure don't need to be able to speak the local lingo - most of the locals speak good English especially the Kimen surf shop guys...cheap down there too. feel free to email...
