Re: Just general surfing stuff
Somewhere unlikely, as I remember being surprised when she said it, which means easy to forget. Her accent was very neutral with just a tiny bit of something different. We exchanged email addresses. She was well connected to the Bali surf community already. How does she pronounce France? I don't th...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I've got to surf now, it's been too big for me for two days, easy double overhead, and now it's just well overhead.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Can't find her email address. If get her details I'll tell her you are well worth talking to. We started this on the cliffs overlooking Impossibles, got some shade near a temple and let it rip.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Jesus but surfing the Ulus bombie on a high tide has to be a trial, anyone who gets out is a legend. There is no letup on the overhead whitewater foam rolling in, and probably no help if things go wrong. As soon as they exit the cave they get swept around the point and with luck they get out with 30...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Did a 2 hour recorded interview yesterday with a lady doing her PhD on surf history and Balinese culture's interaction. She particularly wanted the early days and as I was in Bali for a year in 1980 I was a good candidate.
She wants the pics of our traditional Balinese marraige ceremony!

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Oh dear, another day of glassy 8' to 10' perfection! Wish it would back off. Around 10 waves in a set, the paddling is endless, 500m if you get caught as most of the pack do. And the sweep up the coast happens in minutes and adds another 500m and half a dozen hold downs. I'm just watching. Heavy mis...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Just checking Impossibles. Picture perfect, glassy, small ripples on the faces, 30 out at western end, 10 at eastern end, 8' set of 15 waves on its way. Couple of decent waves caught, everyone else caught inside as the set staircased.
Ulus big and nasty, not many out.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Time to head back to the other islands and more time in WA. The dangers of the road system and the suicidal riding and driving is the most important reason to stay clear of Bali now.

They're long gone buddy, I'm the last remnant. Currently only about 30% are native English speakers, the rest from just about everywhere.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
4,000kJ forecast for today. Impossibles closes out at that size, except for an outer reef right at the northern end. I'd be taking a trip to some breaks that will handle that size swell but the traffic is so bad in Bali that's its now dysfunctional, really dangerous and exhausting (riding in the gut...

My mother in law is 95, bright and on the ball, no physical problems. Her mother was the same, finally kicked the bucket when she was 104.

A mates post here at Ulus:

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Just called in to see Banksy, but he's in Lombok.
His house has the best view of Uluwatu, counted 110 surfers in the water.
