Additional Surfing Infos
 Gili Air is a wonderful place to go with the woman in your life...IF she likes a kicked back environment. There is some really fun nightlife, but it's quite limited, unlike nearby Gili Trawangan, which is party central, with many options. Accomodations range from the comparatively luxurious Hotel Gili Air (the only swimming pool on the island) to very comfortable losmen style bungalows at very reasonable prices. Want a boat? Ask for Denny...maybe the best surfer on the island, and a great boatman. He can take you on a three island, fun, dive, fish, surf, whatever. He lives very close to the harbor.
  Overview
  Atmosphere tropical paradise place with nice locals and a good vibe,nice view of lombok while staring at incoming waves.
  General Don't go to Gili Air for the surf...you'll be waiting a while...takes a big swell to get thru...go for the experience, and count yourself lucky if you catch a swell while you're there. Short, hollow right...very nice fun.

Dress with the impression you are leaving local islanders...The folks there are quite traditional. When in town, around the homes, stores, etc, guys, wear a shirt , ladies, a sarong, not a bikini bottom...and best to have a t-shirt covering that cute little bikini top! On the beach, no problem...but topless is not considered "cool" to the local folks. Be polite, and you'll be rewarded by smiles galore.
