New Mentawai Surf Tax - $200 :(

Shit , on top of $50 per surfboard on flights with some airlines . If we all fly Garuda who don’t charge for surfboards and give you 20 kg included in flight the other airlines may wake up but I doubt it . Edit ……domestic flights I’m talking about .

Yep just paid 450 return for Bali to Bimu, without the surfboard tax as yet
Seems steep.
In other news, went through Denpasar a couple days ago and they weren’t checking the new tourism tax, I didn’t pay before boarding and couldn’t sort it before customs but no one asked

Have fun roystein , hope ya score.

Cheers Supa, few fun ones around in Lombok even with this low swell, hoping the small bump will open up a few options next couple days

Raising the surf tax to $200 is a joke- wouldn’t be such a big deal if was actually going to help the Mentawai people but no doubt just more local government officials with their fingers in the pie
