“This is my report about Belongas Surf Spot.
I didn't even see the wave, I got attacked by four local gangsters on the way to the beach, who robbed me my motorbike, my phone and my board. They didn't even threatened me before they started to beat my arm with a big piece of wood while I was driving my motorbike.
Blongas's area is very unsafe for everyone including local people. "We never go there" told me some local guy. I went to Sekotong police and they told me to advise everyone that it is not a place to go alone.
If you want to go there, take a boat, go with 4x4 and much people but NEVER go alone with your motorbike like I did.
Before I got attacked, I was feeling something was wrong there, something was different. People looking bad at you when you ask your way, children and old people always begging for money...”
