Was last year during Windseason in Lombok. Tourism is verly little, except the Gili-islands. Had a nice Bungalow straight on the beach in Kuta(Lombok) as only guest and paid less than 8.- $. Was in October in Sumbawa. Only the Peakwave was crowded, but at the other two waves at Lakey were no Surfers...

Other Spots in Lombok: Kuta and around. Little Wind, Reefbreak, empty beaches, many spots. Best one 3km east of Kuta. Lowwind even in Windyseason. Take big Kite and Board. Sekotong Bay Some Mountains around lets the wind excellarate. But Offshorewind with small islands ahead. Boatlaunch necessary. B...

Better not to marry and go kiting...

Wouldn't say that u can only do a small jump and then fight upwind.

Kitesurfing had been a really dangerous sport.
Now since the invention of quickreleases and much wider windrange of kites and boards it is not a dangerous sport any more.

My first kite to go on water was a nasawing 9m. Not relaunchable. And the board was a wakeboard without straps all together on a gusty lake. Maybe u can imagine how the first sessions went... first success was in lanzarote with a 9m foil with handles, no harness and a surfboard 1999. Didnt even know...

Wow, its a time machine...

Hi,
I also kite in Bali a few months each year.
In reality the wind is not 10-18Knots but 7-18 Knots.
In the very low wind nothing beats big foils in hangtime and power.
