Dont Be Fooled
I was just turned onto this website and decided to do a little surfing on it! I spent 2months in Indo this year, and have been going there for 3 years now. Was just reading some of the comments and a little surprised! All of the Indo's are just out to scam you you a take your cash! Dont be fooled with their sob story! And as far as Bingin, or the bukit in general, it's one of the worse places! Yes, they wave at Bingin is very good, but F'ing crowded! Usually there's 4 guys catching most of the waves and the rest Kooks that don't belong! And as far as the locals, forget about surfing with them. They are all snakes and take every wave, regardless if you can surf! They seem to forget who introduced them to surfing as well as the many foriengners that have given them surf gear to get started. Locals calling you into waves, are you kidding me! Yeah, the only time that happens is when the local doesn't want the first wave of the set which is often not the best one! Trust me, they are not doing it to be nice. I have seen many locals yell at the tourist who drop in behind them when they are getting snaked by the local! Fucking classic, you get snaked and still get shit! That's such and Indo move! Not to mention that they are all pussies that will try to gang up on you vs one on one if they really have a problem. Spend a little more time there and maybe you wont be fooled, and see their true colors...$$$$$ And for the guys that wrote about Rocky and Chocky and his wife, are you serious! You cant chill with Rocky anymore and have fried noodles since he SOLD OUT! Yes, he sold the restaurant part of his Warung to a foriengner for $$$$ who now charges a fortune for fried noodles and plays loud music all night. Tried to eat at the place next door, Chocky and his wife, which I believe are related to Rocky. That was a whole other experience. They had nothing that they had listed on the menu, they were not very friendly, food took forever, and we all felt like we were inconveniencing them by ordering food! The only good thing about that place was the view and if you like flies all over your food! Even spoke to a few people staying there who said they were all kind of odd there. We ended up staying at the top at Kembang Kuning which was way nicer and just as cheap as the nasty places below. Indo is still a good place to visit, but Bali being the worse part of it with the money hungry pesty Indo's. So don't be foolel as many have been when they are only there for a short holiday! Open your eyes, NOT your wallet! And please, dont not give away any surf gear!
