Um. Go to Sanur and wander down near bali Santrian or rip curl and look for kites. Bit hard to explain. There are several spots.

Jankie might explain.

Hey fellas . Any news ?

Did they get the boat off baby reef?

Is Bike's boat OK ? I heard it fell over !

Bit collar proud

just checked my heineken shares, cheer puetzy they are going through the roof

Robbie what happened to ya 18m Dyno man?

Neil still up there? Surely worth just sticking together until ya leave!

What's up with that, you have had heaps of issues in the same spot on the kite hey.

You are a bloody animal!! LOL.

I know we should be careful about what we say on the forum but this is just a fact . Shoot me down if you like .
Yes a couple of us have had the same problem with this kite up here. There is no doubt Bomber loves the performance of the 18 but has been let down by the lightness of the build .

You should be able to match it with the groms without worrying about your kite holding together . I watched it's slow expiry over a couple of days begin with the odd strut and then catastrophic failure in the leading edge - on the beach ...
The kite has been treated with kid gloves - no crashing or abuse - only expert use . Constant worry about overinflating. Eppo - you have seen Bomber ride - smooth styling and poetry in motion for a big fella.

Hope the crew are helping him through a difficult time without the Dyno in his final week .

Hello friends as this Post is call Bali in July I think is good to close it with some statistic:

July Wind Recap (Sanur)
After the worst June in history July finally delivered some quality conditions for us.
I counted 25 kiteable days:
9-13 knots: 7 days
11-16 knots: 8 days
13-20 knots: 10 days
If we consider percentage is just over 80% of days in the water, pretty good for Bali..
Also report from West Bali-East Java (Gilimanuk-Banjuanghi) that wind is been NUKING there pretty much no stop the last 3 weeks..

Bye Jankie

A d I was there for 9 days in the 11 to 20 range....nice timing...I had it all planned trust me lol

Man I kited so much came back real sick hey and not Bali belly. Just ran my immune system into the ground. Reminded me of my old road cycling days.

Or it could be the beers being drunk in between session. Jesus those Darwinians are made of harder stuff I tell ya! Will try and find that picture of Eddie with all those bottles in his basket on the bike doing a rubbish run! Hang on..

Picture tells a thousand words...about 11am this one taken I think.

Beautiful pic Eppo. Pity about the bloke with the gut. Note it's not Puetz. This most likely just his beer empties. One of the first trips to top I believe

I've only been here 5 years. Still impressed by the consumption. ( nothing to be proud of but??? ). It's not over the top but constant. I have beers on ice as we speak in the car just in case. Arak is out though.

You have to go to a different place after a few.( Guys, you know how weak I am). We have developed a special style of kiting in skinny wind and a hot place.

Beers , our mates , family and kiting is a common passion. If we can share this in exotic places , what a buzz. Bali , Vietnam , wherever. Life is a celebration of the soul. Darwin brings that out.

Seriously, Putus and Ketut's warung is awesome. Eppo , see you next year. Bring the family down , it's a happy place. Fish on the barbie , fresh sambal, cold bintang and a kite. Start practicing. Ian , hope to catch up next year.

Have to catch up with the big fella and commiserate over the Dyno's demise. I think zephyr testing is the go. Hope it's got the grunt.

I'll keep trying. But the thought of "cooler " conditions puts the fear of god into the toughest of long term Darwinians.

There has been some talk about having a look at SE of SA coast. I know its one of Oz's coastal secrets. We'll see.
The big fella will enjoy heavy air and smaller kites hey.

Might be bourbon rather than beers though.

Sounds like everyone has sold their gear!

shhhhhhhhhh no more now...

Did you sell your Zepher and TT, have you got your eye on the new Zepher?

cheers,

Robbie

ps how cool was the guys a Bali Bagus Kiteboarding, from storing gear over night, nicely layed out next day, wicked food and cold cold beer and softdrinks, all with big smiles!!! Better not tell to many people, might get too busy next time.

Sold the lot Robbie, even the coffin roller bag.

Not sure what big kite to buy next.

Certainly won't be buying another light wind TT old surf board and skim board for me next year.

No brainer which beach I'll be kiting from next year, but lets keep that our secret.
Can't vouch for the Bintang but the rest was first class. If it wasn't for Bagus crew I'll probably still be swimming from that wipe out at Occa's

Hey HAAK, i heard you were considering a rather large edge??
Looks like im buyin a 14m cat

Does this mean you are heading down the Cat track or just the 14?

I thought you would like the Cat but I'm surprised that it's got the bottom end grunt you are looking for. Whats the bottom end like compared to the 14 Rebel? (might be on my bucket list as well!!)

I like the idea of a rather large edge, will buy anything at the right price
