Re: Just general surfing stuff

Nah, stopped staying there thank god.

Got a good villa up the road and stayed there until 3 years ago.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

The whole infrastructure is fucked. That's one thing for a third world country but they are trying to attract tourists who are not keen to be regularly caught in traffic for 3 or 4 hours for a 40 minute trip

Re: Just general surfing stuff

100 learners with regular head high sets pretty much tends to chaos

Re: Just general surfing stuff

The last time this happened, around 1995, I stayed away for a decade (only passed through to other islands in the archipelago).

Can you tell I think Bali is being completely fucked over?

Re: Just general surfing stuff

I was there a few days ago. The foreshore, warungs and places to eat have all the charm of a rubbish dump. 200 learners packing the lineup make perfect chaos to set it all off.

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...
