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!

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

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?
