My only trip to Bali was when I was 13 or 14. I was Bob Marley mad, and we stayed in some expat's beautiful house a half an hour's walk down a winding path in a dusty town called Ubud. 8 weeks, surrounded by locals, kids playing in the river. The place was magic for sure.

It was transcendant, one of the most amazing times of my life. Everywhere I went, I heard Bob Marley. I bought loads of cassettes and started talking bahasa, smoked a cheeky gudang or two. Saw a cremation which was intriguing and so different to anything I'd seen previously. Went and saw the local band at some east coast tourist town without my parents, getting a lift with the guitarist, who acted as my chaperone, on his motorbike from the place we were staying. They played Bob Marley songs. I had a beer, the band let me come up and play a tune on guitar. They looked after me. I bought gorgeous batik cloth for a girl I liked back home.

In fact, the only thing I didn't do was surf.

I had this feeling from that place that I will never forget, and I'm kinda scared to see how it is now.




But I'm also ready to surf my head off.

The one with the swimming pool or one of the myriad other ones that dot the landscape these days. Lucky Al would be in for quite a shock if he hasn’t seen the Bukit for Twenty Years.
There are still lots of quiet areas on the bukit

MM spent a few weeks there with me a while ago.
How did that work out for you? I’m guessing mullet’s personal habits leave an awful lot to be desired
Au contraire ol’ chap, not for me to say but I believe my behaviour was acceptable.
So, no drunken fists and hot remorseful cuddles?

Very true. I had never been to Balangan before and it was like stepping back in time. Plus a pleasant lunchtime chat.
Every time I have been to Bali I have surfed somewhere new on the trip.
So far I’ve surfed Kuta Reef, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Canggu, Green Balls, Ulus, Hyatt Reef, Keramas, Medewi, Balian, Serangan and a non descript bit of Nusa Dua.

Been getting plenty of surfing in over the weekends. Just posting much less on here these days. It mostly seems like beanpole talking to himself

Lining up for a savage roundhouse cutback there Trev.
Surf was fun yesterday if a bit cold when you got out.
Water is still nice and warm.
Hatchie is always a bit tense GST. It’s all that driving he does.

There's a fair bit of Dionysian hand jive going on as well. Hope the judges don't count tard g as just a one trick head dip pony.
Nay. He represents the best that is Realsurf.
