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
So the Mentawai Govt in all it wisdom has put the surf tax up to $200. Apparently to keep the place eksklusif?! Is this a good or bad thing?
