- I'm going to Indo for the first time this June. 16 and traveling with the fam. Any advice on what to brin and what not to? Was going to bring a small wave board but am questioning whether to bring one at all considering the swells that hit during the time I'm going.

re: Thieves. - To the poster below:
when you say "thongs", I sincerely hope you are talking about sandals. The thought of islanders digging thru the sand looking for used, dirty G-strings is enough to make me toss.

Thieves. - Whatever you do, do not leave anything on the beach. Left a bag on the beach for 40 mins at 6 in the morn and wuz gone. Heard stories of guys walking down in thongs, burying them in the sand and watching guys missioning round, trying to dig them up.
