I haven't seen any in the past, but I'm sure they're must be. Does anyone know any locations like parks?

In case anyone mentions it, I do have tree protectors so they aren't damaged in any way.

I agree, cut them down the polluted plastic filled oceans and ricefields will give us the air we need.

It's balance and coordination training for surfing.

Any real suggestions would still be appreciated.

As you cannot go anywhere to surf at the moment, it is a moot point.

Maybe go for a walk? Haven’t been to SR for three months but seem to recall there was the odd tree around.

Use the trees along the riverbank up from the Old Market towards the post office or as suggested buy a skateboard. X Bar has a ramp so you can use that at night. Don't want to carry it around when (if) you leave SR then give it to the kids but throw in a helmet as well. Costs less than you might spend on a night out.

Slacklines damage trees.



Cambodia has so few public green spaces, and doesn't have a lot of sturdy trees, like oak, pine, or redwood. For a Westerner to show up in the country and rope of meters and meters of public park space with a slackline that strains and strips the bark off local trees is just inconsiderate and dickish.
