This is a real tourist trap. There are quite a few water sport shops in Palau and also La Maddalena, which is only a 15 min ferry ride away, where the owners are professional and helpful. Jungle surf looks appealing from the outside but their merchandise is significantly overpriced and the owners are truly dishonest. On the first day of our vacation we stopped the to buy sunglasses for sailing. We explained as everyone there already knows the wounds would be very high and the boats would be sure to capsize. So we said we were looking for strong glasses that would not fall off easily. The sales attendant skld us the most expensive pair of Oakleys (almost $300) and they broke after 2 days. We went back asking to use the warranty and the owner was extremely rude. At first he wouldn't even listen to us and said the glasses were not really meant for sailing! Then when my husband got mad in front of other customers the owner said to leave the glasses. We're never heard from then again and when we went to pick them up we found out they had not done anything at all, never contacted the retailer, and stole the floating chord we had bought elsewhere and accidentally left on them. As it turns out we later bought sunglasses on La Maddalena with all the same features but only 1/5 the price and under the same conditions they were never remotely damaged. read more
