The store, Kuta Board Room, is owned by Schapelle’s brother-in-law, Wayan Widyartha.
A small workshop on the first floor of the squat building will likely be Schapelle’s design studio – its windows onto the street below blocked from prying eyes by strategically-positioned surf posters.
The shop is located in the heaving heart of Kuta – Bali’s most popular tourist haunt.

Within spitting distance of the famous Bemo Corner and down the road from the now empty block on which the Sari Club used to stand before it was razed in the 2002 Bali bombings, the Kuta Board Room stocks surfboards and a small range of swimwear.
When The Weekly visited the shop yesterday, a shop assistant showed off the store’s “hand-designed” bikinis.
One range, bearing a label that proudly proclaimed “Australian Designed, Made In Bali”, was retailing for 95,000 rupiah (approximately $95).
Under the terms of her parole, Schapelle must live with her sister Mercedes and brother-in-law, Wayan, an Indonesian national.
Mercedes’ compound is located barely 50 metres down the street and around the corner from her husband’s surf shop.
