Australia's Surfing Life says:
"A more than handy purchase that could save the novice Indo traveler incredible hassles. There's all sorts of interesting things: maps and descriptions of most good spots in Bali, a clever little guide that tells you where to surf in any given conditions, the best restaurants in Kuta, how to drive without getting killed, tips on getting a good doctor, how to bargain, and an easy to handle language section - and even a Checklist to make sure you don't leave anything at home. This guide's become the adopted Bible for Surfers heading to Indo on the hunt for perfect waves. At around the cost of a carton of beer, you'd be a goose to step onto Indo soil without a copy. Great value with [coupons] worth of Free Discount Vouchers! So buy it eh?"
