- Man-made danger (buoys etc..)
- Localism
get used to the rip.
hold your line, dont bail because people often get deep,lose hope, and then come out.
watch out for the spiky fish traps-manmade danger.
Atmosphere
can get like reverse padang.except the swell comes from nowhere- its a relatively flat ocean and sudeenly your stuck inside of a 6 ft plus wall
General
its not for anyone who isnt a confident right hand tube rider.pity it gets crowded.
it can make it worth going to lombongan.

lassos - We had this wave sick in sep 09. Double head + sets. Only 4 guys actually taking them. Got the longest forehand tube of my life. Board / neck snapping heavy wave though - not for kooks!

gtnrdy - Hey Pete,
There are a couple of places to stay on Nusa Lambongin for under 10 USD. Close to the breaks, also some resorts for quite a bit more.
Stayed there for a week in September and had a smokin good time 5 foot, no-one out. There can be a bit of a rip when it gets big, but if not too big a super fun wave. Saw about 5 bloody heads that week at lacerations, and shipwrecks is epic. Great little island to stay for a little while if you don't need to party every night.
