- Rips / undertow
- Rocks
- 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.

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.

Comments! - Comments should be for tips, recommendations and sharing experiences in general about the place, it shouldnt be used to fight, people that visit this web doesnt care about people fighting without any sense... and I see this in many comments and in many different surf spots...
Surfers should be cool people, so be cool and colaborate with surfing comunity...
How good is this spot??? when is the best time of the year to surf it??? does it needs a big swell??? are there good and cheap places to stay??? these are somethings that would be nice to find here...
If any body knows about that would be great to hear about it
Thanks and keep it cool
Peter

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!
