malaria
malaria is endemic in the region. numerous cases have been reported in Bali. If your staying on a boat and it's offshore do you think your safe? hehe

stay at inn deep
i stay at inn deep hotel, there are no malaria mosquitos there, its nice, all the pro's stay there, $50 buck a day gets all ur meals, only 15 minutes from deserts, better than staying on the beach w/ the mosquitos, goindosurf, deserts isa great long barrel, go in may, or early june, july and august gets too packed w/ brazilians

malaria at Deserts
My friend Dazzy just spent a couple of months out at the point, like He's been doing every year the last couple of years, just came down with Cerebral Malaria.
everyone who spends time there has got malaria, thats why they closed Bobbys surf camp so many years ago.
But now the nasty Cerebral Malaria has got there.
Look out!!!

That was my pic
It was me that posted that photo.. we had 10 competent surfers on our boat that day and none went out.. Mainly because the surf was enormous and down the line there was a nasty current with the reef sucking dry on the sets.. I'll post up 2 more pics in the next few days entitled "Rainbow Tube" and "Desert Pits" From the same series of shots as the other one..

Mexicans @ Deserts
Yeah I know its strange but there's a group of Mexicans who hang out at Desert Point now just waiting for it to break. Its crazy coz they barely speak anything but Spanish. I'm nto sure how they got there or how they survive, but they all seemd to be well-equipped with North Face tents, cooking gear, quivers, etc. I thought they may have been sponsored pros from Chile orsomethign but in what little Spanish I knwo it was clear they are from Guerrero, Mexico. I asked how long they were staying there (at Deserts) and one of them said in broken English they lived there! Anyay, some other bloke wrote in a photo caption that big Desert Point has 'little margin for err' in fact that is wrong, big Desert Point has a big margin for err - in other words, you have much more space and opportunity to make an err.

Best with 2-3 feet of water on the reef (or so i think)tide going out. Any higher tide it sections.Low tides killer to but it seems to me longer barrels with just a little water on the reef.Almost allways turns inside out after 6 foot solid (almost) big foam ball flying down the reef.Nick surfed the biggest wave I've seen there.Randy D. has the best storys. My longest tube there was on one of his wide boards.To bad my backs jacked or id be there now giving my respect to those who deserve it about 7 kiwis (how do you spell it) 6 aussies 3 americans.
Watch out for celebrelle malaria ,maleria, super posineous snakes,wild bores,full on rip-offs, crazy current & Extreemist muslems. If that bothers you dont go. If you like looking through a little hole while your riding in a small room size tube sitting way bak in there with all the sucking barreling bitchenness go.
