looking for a surf buddy to start my new hobby...

im interested. but the problem is where can we surf ?
im work in kl, not much time to go outstation.

sunway lagoon!! hehehe..anyone?!

But if u surf at the beach baru ada feeling mar!

can go to cherating during monsoon season there.
many surfers including foreigners there which is unexpected for u for them to be there.

Ehh... good idea to go east coast during monsoon for surfing. You know anywhere to take lessons? Are donnit lesson wan? Going Aussie next year, so wan to show off sikit on the surfboard.

Um .. I know that quiksilver has their boar riding school in Bali. My mum might be taking me there before SPM LOL .. next year haha.. but em i told her after SPM is better =P .. SO yea.. Some how i dun think that this Sunway Lagoon provides lessons.. Bodoh la hahaha

And yeah .. they have their surf pool over there

i m damn pro in body surfing

d real surfing cannot b done in msia.. d wave 2 ... hard ler

why dont go tourist at sabah... there are many beautiful beach and island there... also, we can surf there...

erm...
for example, we can go to pulau sipadan, or pulau gaya, or pulau tiga, pulau manukan, and so on... there will be surf service...

Got a lessons that side? If Got cool wei. DUn have to go to Bali haha

Wahehehe.. Me join! Me join!
I lik surfing oso. But the lil probs is...
*Drum beat*
I oni noe how to swim wen water dia tahap lutut ja. Wakakaka..
But yea.. I wan wan wan to learn surfing!!!!
Oh.. One moe thing, fo your cnvenience guys.. Im Sabahan. Tehee~
Is there any learning lesson around hir? I dun remember seing the wave any higher from my siku kaki oh. Keke..
How we gonne surf tht damn lil wave man?!

is surfing difficult?

Malaysian seas can only do body surfing ler... do body surfing oso have to see the waves first... like last month i went to the beach in Kch, evening langsung no tide, damn disappointed... luckily the next morning the tide is very strong... muahahaha...

Check out this website Up and Away Bali Tours - Surf Info

It is the nearest. U can go to Aussie and San Deigo if you want la =P. But I guess I'll be going to Bali to learn how to surf. Cheaper wei.

i used to surf in lagoon every friday after school when i was in f5 hahaha... thats liek almost 7 yrs back.

then i surfed in cherating every year end during the monsoon. its not difficult as long as u can swim. cos the currents can get pretty strong, u need to paddle hard and also tahan the wipe outs. get the other surfers there to teach u. lots of volunteer teachers if u're a girl hahaa... ppl who say msian waves not suitable for surfing is nonsense. go to cherating this weekend, u'll c about 30 surfers there. a bit crowded.. try to go during weekdays. check online sources for wind/wave forecast. good luck!

Wer is Cherating newaiz?

Kuantan if i'm not mistaken

I'm a Club Med surfer and a rescuer

But that was like 3 years ago. Now no more.

Cherating is a nice place to surf but dangerous too for those inexperience. I remembered one guy, 17 years old drown there and we were called for rescue. Took us 3 days to locate the body which is by then beyong recognition coz of the fishes been eating him up

danger ya... tammy dun surf la

Well, i know for sure , i want to go to Bali and learn. Those interested check the link i provided.. after learning , i want to raid the surf pool in sunway

u cant do much in lagoon cos the pool is congested and the rides are short. its more of a beginner's playground. shud rip it up in the ocean. that's the real deal. get salt water in ur eyes and jellyfish sting u at least once

My word of advice for those surfers... if u plan to surf in the sea, please mix around with the locals around there to know the danger zone etc etc... underwater currents and sea caves are a lot. Jellyfishes nah... but sharp corals is a headache as it can tear up ur muscles.

Oh haha.. U sure? When the quiksilver revolution tour was on, dane reynolds was awesome on the waves. HAHA I have not intention to get some one to pee on my hand or leg or where ever that darn jelly fish bites me.

HAHA.. yea hamster9 has a point. Oh well, I CAN'T WAIT FOR BALI!

yeah i got stung by jellyfish the first time i surfed in cherating many years ago.. i didnt have pee, so my best fren offered his.. hahaahha.. lucky the restaurant waitress figured out what happened and offered vinegar. hehe.. phew.

anyway the waves in cherating are great on good days. here's a pic of my fren surfing in kijal, about 20 mins further down after cherating.



why pay in lagoon when u can surf for free?

I saw a arcticle in mens health, it shows our country east cost will had a strong waves in these few months, so can go surfing.
Anyone here planning to go there ? or someone had a tour ? pls contact me.

Btw, if you guys planning to surf pls make sure u r physically fit and good in swmming, u need to swmming back to shore after a very tired surf section.

Damn . I know its swimming for me , as my work out. After that, then only go Bali lo haha

*bump* Come on surfers. Mana lu?

*bump* Weii.. Mana la.. No more surfers AR?

retired edi

go surf wave already... not surf net here...

mal not suitable to surf!
wave too small! if wait till monsoon then the wave too rough!!!
that's y mal didn't really into this sport so far!!!

Australia is a nice place to surf!!!
(heading to Brisbane for Christmas!!! YEAH!!!! )
u all r welcome to join!

tried in cepetown (south africa) as well!
waw!!! feeling damn great!!!
but of course damn expensive

cooll.... so good to be like you.
hopefully i can have the money and time to travel here and there.
do u surf alot? how about indonesia?

not really "a lot"!!! perhaps just started recent years...
haven't been to indonesia yet!
few times planned to be there but couldn't match the schedule at the end!

fyi, mainly those nice beach for surfing migth have the risk of shark!
but normally u will still jump into it when u see everyone do so!
cause u'll think u won't be the unlucky one! hahahahaha

yea, dont care too much just hop in and have great time. but wil ask around the local for some information.

The wave here during monsoon almost the same as Bali and it's not that rough too. We have this sport here in Malaysia. I'd always hop by Cherating to surf around this time few years back.

Yes, they still have this surfing thingy and you can rent the surfboard. Some can even provide surfing training too.


Indonesia Bali (West) is a nice place to start.

Mentawai(indonesia) is a world class surfing area. No need spend so much to Australia when we have em nearby and cheap via Airasia.


you'd out to be worrying more on jellyfishes compared to sharks

well, since you're an aussie surfer, mayb some Great White drops by. Most of the time, they avoid humans la.
It's a very good idea to mix around with the locals to know the surroundings well and also some cool tips

yea, i heard indonesia was good, cheap and nice.
i thought i could to cherating this end of year try surfing but no friends want to go with me (they chicken ... hehe).
did anyone here plan to group a couple ppl and go to indonesia surfing ?

I'm planning to learn how to surf in Bali. Dunno when la but I really wanna go. After SPM maybe.. so like in 2008 hehe

no prob...west bali has more surf spots than east bali. have a try there.

Alright then. Btw, ppl, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Even tho its a few hrs away .. haahha

terengganu tengkujuh time,,,,,,, heavy wave!

Issit? Wow. Aii, i haven't been to that side to experiance the waves. HAHA only go to the islands

*bump* HAPPY NEW YEAR Peeps!

want to learn surfing but who is willing to guide me and where?

I saw a few people on Saturday at lagoon. I don't know if they put up the pricing and stuff. I saw them on surf boards la thats for sure.

For me, I'm willing to wait till 2008, after SPM. Going to Bali to learn at the Quiksilver board riding school.
