 Nah, been back in Oz for 2 weeks, but I'm going back Wednesday next week.
How was the crowds- looks insanely crowded on the Surfers of Bali clips.
It's been reasonable where I've surfed, but the beginner/mal spots are all time crowded, hate to think how it is around Canggu, and peak season is approaching.

Race track has been mega crowded on small days, 100 plus but you'd have to be crazy to surf there now anyway.
I heard Cannguu/Echo beach is off the scales busy in and out of the water
It has been for decades, and getting worse

Yes, I’ve been there. My point was the “getting worse” bit.

 hollow pre-preg carbon fins.

They'll work as advertised.

Light and stiff.
So we took most of the material out, made it as hard as inflexible as hell and still charged you more. But, yes they are definitely lighter.

Joke. Seriously, people fall for this shit.

It was never a place Loof.

It was a dream destination for cube monkeys on RS.

Like shangri-la.

It existed only in their imaginations.

Surfed the 5’8 hyfi at the tulla tub as a thruster.
Good board, predictable, does everything you ask of it.
Pinhead loved it from memory.

Where can I get some (preferably black) fibreglass quad rears from?
I have a set of these that I reckon the fronts would be good for a quad.
