"part of tourism in Indonesia. Indonesia has various other spots in other islands (like Lakey Peak or G-Land) which attract tourists only for surfing. Surfing has therefore developed a touristic activity in places which probably would not have attracted people otherwise. Some surf spots contain sharp reefs which are best avoided by beginners. Sunburns can also pose a problem, as the sun is strong and can quickly cause burns. Shark attacks occur (though rarely), and the water is also the home of several kinds of jellyfish which can sting surfers severely. Surfing in Indonesia With more than 13,000 islands and"
