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:
Had a surf with Elon Musk today. His electric surfboard was amazing. Too bad he couldn't charge it at Uluwatu

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.

Can you imagine my mate climbing up the stairs (on the RHS, nothing visible now) and two minute's after he gets to the top it explodes!

Re: Where did you surf today ?
The aftermath Cranked. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7DBRUgvROh/?igsh=MjJvcDZlazRpcjQy Its huge! I just got back from a surf there, the collapse maybe 40m x 20m x 10m. No-one on site. Near shore I was walking on sand instead of reef (very pleasant) so it seems to have added a lot of sand to about...

Interesting story from Stu on Swellnet. Be interested in Cranked’s thoughts. Looks totally fucked to me. https://www.swellnet.com/news/surfpolitik/2024/05/16/the-indonesian-push The old style surf school usually had around 10 or less learners and one or two guides and you'll often see two or more s...

David is me, Paul is a Bali mate, this happened about two hours ago at Impossibles: [16/5, 5:14 pm] Paul Bali: Just had the most full-on experience [16/5, 5:15 pm] David: Tell me more!

Re: Where did you surf today ?
They are just rolling in, guess it's a bit early in the season for all the guys who really rip. Single Fin is packed and cranking out good vibes on about 20 top quality speakers.
Padang also firing and packed
