Kuta Lombok
Just did a trip to Kuta area, beautiful beaches & probably the best I have seen here in Indonesia.Surf was good though crowds are building with up to 30+ in main breaks; Stayed @ Surfers Inn - rooms OK Food Crap.. tried on 3 occasions to give us green mouldy bread for brekky.. eat out even tho B/Fast included. Hired a car in Mataram - give locals a miss for hiring bikes it seems! Place will be entering big changes with International Airport... much of land already sold, not that I would recommend you buy any! Years to come may improve their (some locals) attitude to us whiteys & tourists! Ashtari on top of hill best value for views & food + nice people! Roads are shit, take care with bike or car travel! Time will tell with this surfing location! Jerry in Grupuk for boating to breaks, nicest guy we met. Waves average to serious, take your booties! Wise to buy up in Bali with any special items, food etc you want to take as you wont find any Mini Marts or Supermarkets in this area!Laid back but may well see a lot of change over these next few years..

Heaven on the planet is nice but relatively expensive. To get to outsides, the most consistent break, you need to pay alot for a boat unless you bike in. Then you better pay security to watch it while surfing. outsides can get very heavy at 6ft. or bigger. Insides is a walk but 15 or 20 min from room depending on tide. Inconsistent but can be good. Ya changes in store for Kuta but everything takes time. Some good may come from it. Clean up the few scamming locals. Attention to environment issues like reefs and beach litter. only rent bike from reputable shop not private individual. Watch it at night. Even at cafes. You can stay at other breaks if you learn how.

Stay at Heaven on the Planet ??
Hello, it seems that the only accomodation in Lombok with waves close by is this one ? Can you paddle to a lot of wave or need anyway a boat ? Or even a car or bike to go to some other waves ? Is it expensive to get a boat from the camp, or possible to get a boat with villagers nearby ?
Thanks for the info
