Information
What To Bring
Some people will want fresh clothes each
day, but most will live in the same pair of
boardies for the entire trip! The below is
a guide designed to help and maximise your
enjoyment. A handy hint is also to split
your clothes and gear between your board
bag and your check in luggage in case one
gets lost. Remember not to put sharp
objects in your hand luggage!
* PASSPORT!!! Make sure it has at least 6
months validity or you won't be allowed on
the plane
* 2-3 boards for a variety of waves & it'll
see you through any breakages! If you are
only taking one board due to doing other
stuff... best take the semi-gun
* A quality board bag is worth the expense
* At least two spare leggies & a big-wave
one (3 metres plus)
* Spare set of fins
* Heaps of tropical wax and a wax comb
* Ding repair kit
* Good hat, sunscreen with plenty of SPF
and/or zinc cream
* Sunnies - go the polarized option - you
won't look back!

* A pair of long pants (light cotton if
it's going to be warm) and a shirt with
long sleeves
* A couple of T-shirts
* Shoes &/or thongs

captain or looking stupid with cut up feet
- wear them!

need

30'C all year round.
The wet season occurs October to March, and
as with all tropical climates the humidity
at this time can get quite high. The dry
season occurs from April to September, with
less humid conditions and sunnier weather.
This is usually the most popular time to
travel to Indonesia for those long hot and
sunny days but as there is waves all year
round in Lombok and Sumbawa the time of
season you go is really up to you.
Most rainfall throughout the islands will
occur during the wet season, but downpours
are typical and can occur at anytime,
usually not lasting too long.
As with
other areas of Indonesia, the best surf season in
this area occur's between the months of April and
October but there are plenty of breaks to tempt you
all year round. These breaks work well when the
winds and swell change direction.
