Re: Where did you surf today ?

Turtle Island.....or former island. Crowded on the main and a sneaky little left on one of the other breaks. Main looked like mid week Bondi between infrequent sets.

Re: Indo...is it worth it

With all due respect, I think you're missing the point. Yup, reckon your right there, Tonksy. Totally stuffed since the surf hasn't been rolling in non stop at this particular well known spot in the Tabanan Region. Bit windy this morning. Max about 10 guys out at its most crowded. 2 this morning an...

Re: Indo...is it worth it

How can anyone go to the Pacific? They used to eat people :shock: Look at all those military juntas. Stay home it's the only way. I mean if some place has a few thousand years of history who knows what they might have got up to. We have decided to spend an extra day in the Tabanan region. The surfs ...

Re: Indo...is it worth it

Okay, it's totally crap, the foods no good, there is no surf in Indo either. Go to Seal rocks. Happy?


.........or .........nothing.....is that better?

Has any of this made a difference?

Re: Indo...is it worth it

Insert hand wringing about the death penalty here. Indonesia is a diverse country struggling to hold itself together in many ways.unless I want to stand outside Keroboken Prison with a sign my opinion is largely irrelevant. I don't see the Balinese people as representatives of the Jakarta Government...

Re: Indo...is it worth it

Salamat Pagi, Steve. I'll ask the Dutch Guy who insists on smoking incessantly at breakfast if he can get some. Meanwhile we will entertain ourselves with the noisy cat that has decided to make friends. Anyone seen a cat in Indonesia that doesn't have a docked or seriously bent tail?

Re: Indo...is it worth it

Except for the right. It's really epic but a bit heavy. Never crowded with kids learning to surf either.

Re: Indo...is it worth it

Little rippy muck around right peaks on the beach breaks early this morning for about 35 minutes on the changing tide.
Crowd factor?

With that kind of ingenuity you can't go wrong BD. I'm surprised you've never taken a board.

Re: Indo...is it worth it

I could easy spend six months over there without surfing. The fact that there's waves is just the icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned but hey that's not everyone's cup of tea for sure. First time 1982 I went there it was the last place I'd been to in SE Asia. I ran into this group that was bas...

Re: Get this!

Spose it's obvious to point out that wobbliness contributes to humming. Had a carbon fibre fin in this Taka Mal I used to have. It used to hum a merry tune. Particularly on larger waves. A lot of fins need a bit of plastic down the side to firm them up. I use take away food lids.

Re: bali forecast

That sounds okay for a few east coast spots. Not really worried if its only 3-4 over there as its 3-4 bigger than what's been on offer around here. Not going to try to run around too much given the time but I might go a bit West mid week then decamp to the East Coast to finish up. This clarifies a f...
