Hotels in Indo - Does anyone know of a places to stay near some surf spots and the prices? How much can you stay for in Indo daily with a hotel room, toilet, shower, and some basic stuff? Planning on staying for 2 months. Any prices in the $10-$25 range near surf breaks? Please help.

ferry to Sipora - Anybody have info concerning the ferry options and departure days to Sipora Mentawai Island from Padand Sumatra. I would like to avoid just showing up in Padand and waiting days for the next avaliable ferry. I will be flying from Lombok so I suppose I will have to go Lombok-Denpasar-Jakarta-Padang. Thanks

yo mousset - easy peasy japanesee, no probs getting public transport with a board but prob not a triple bag on the bus! the buses suck arse tho and the ferry takes ages and all the indos get crook as dogs if its a little rough. forget about lombok unless ur goin to desert point with the other 40 dudes caus kuta lombok is pretty average for quality indo waves. grupuk sux poo and the jap longboarders think they own it(kooks). ekas gets ok but it needs solid swell and nth winds.
there is waves around kuta but of averqage quality in a se wind and mawi is just a flukey right with some ok lefts but not why u go to indo.
havnt travelled java much buddy but i wouldnt waste too much time exploring lombok, unless u are just learning caus there is always room in grupuk for another kook.

no visa - where are you from?
usually don't need any visa, you just pay it when you arrive at the airport
