From the Author

It's easy to describe this book - we'll just let the readers do the talking -

"amazing, awesome, fabulous, frickin' genius, ballistic, full of stoke, an absolute gem, insane, mind blowing, inspiring, invaluable, the definitive resource, everything a surfer would ever need for the ultimate Indo surf trip..."

These are just some of the words readers have used to describe "Indo Surf & Lingo", the original surfer's guidebook to Indonesia. Thousands of surfers have relied upon this book since it was first published in 1992, with regular updates printed each year. The latest 2005 edition is jam-packed with the most up-to-date info on surf spots, surf camps, yacht tours, losmen, transport and language, plus classic lineup photos. It's also a great souvenir to brag to friends back home ("I surfed here with just 3 guys out!")

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Help, March 31, 2002

By 

Peter McGrath (New York, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Indo Surf and Lingo (Paperback)

Just got back from my first Bali trip and this book was a fantastic help. It is a rare thing when everything you read in a book is true - but everything was exactly the way the book said it would be. From the surf line-ups, breaks, crowds, tide influences, people, food recommendations, language - everything! Plus the free beer vouchers were a great bonus, worth far more than the book cost! Peter Neely has done a great job cramming so much info into the book, and all of it was spot on! I can't thank him enough. Maybe one day I'll bump into him in Indo somewhere - I'd love to buy the guy a beer! Hey, if you're a surfer going to Bali, you'd be mad not to get this book.

This review is from: Indo Surf and Lingo (Paperback)

Ive bought this book to prepare my trip to indo. The info is pretty good for surfspots, very sharp and clear, also the Lingo section is really good. The only critics could that there are too much ads and coupons, and design has been not taken care at all.
