OK so I went and had fun. Besides hangin' with the wife I was keen to get barrelled on the SUP. Unfortunately the swell didn't
accommodate but got some good waves anyway in boardies.
First couple days were at Legian/Seminyak and the beachies were fun, heavy the first day then playful but still heavy on the second day.
I knew the swell was dropping and my chances of getting my first barrel were slim, so thought I'd try get an air during the trip. Here's a
poor effort! So hard to get these things out of the water!
After Legian we stayed in Bingin. Got a scotter to get around. The board was sooo big on the bike that the handle bars hit the board
when trying to turn left so I had to push the board out with one hand and turn with the other. Helmet was XXL and kept falling over
my eyes. SKETCHY!!! Helemt clip was busted!
This is a shot towards Dreamlands from Bingin. Only broke well at low tide. Got it about over head+ and got heaps of waves. But the
wife wouldn't ride with me on the scooter with the SUP so no pix.
Checked Ulu's but was only any good on low tide. Didn't end up surfing it.
Waves at Ulu's were better up towards temples? Looked good but a long wait between sets.
The walk in to Ulu's after heavy morning rain! Some surfers weren't risking it.
Margarita's at the Blue Point Resort on the cliff top at Uluwatu.
Next day went back to Kuta for some Water Bomb Park action then got all the dry skin sucked off my feet. Then a Bingin session in the
arvo on lowtide but no pix as the wife was getting a massage. A bit over head high on the sets. 10yo Bali kids getting barrel after barrel.
That night went to dinner at The Rocks at Ayana Resort. Amazing place to stay. Food was amazing and the sunset. Not sure if the camera did
it justice.
Last day surfed Impossibles then Bingin all day. Swell was only small, about head high at Impossibles and chest high at Bingin. The wife rekons
this photo was of the dog as it's face was a spitting image if Chewbacker! I rekon she has some weird fetish but I can't get her to act on it.
The original is in crystal clear 12mp (it does look like chewy).
0.3 seconds too early...No matter how hard I tried to pop it I just couldn't get the tail clearly out of the water.
Ugly straight legged Floater thing?
Was an awesome trip. Didn't get any hate in the line-up at all and heaps of questions. Mainly people asking how long my board was as it looked
real small. To wrap it up, Dreamlands is fun and a great SUP wave, Bingin is amazing and you want to paddle out at high tide and surf it into
lowtide until it gets too busy. Still plenty of barrells if there is some size as the tide drops. Impossibles isn't that Impossible if it's hightide,
definately worth checking. I was bummed I couldn't get my new board ready but the swell meant I didn't really need it. I will be planning
another trip next year!
did you know the Rock Bar was voted best bar in the world last August
We had dinner there also in December, bloody xy with wife and 4 adult kids in toe all wanting cocktails and prawns 
Oh one of the kids was a ring in
With the helmet, I've read up that your average Gath surf helmet actually protects you more than some of those "sketchy" helmets that they might provide for you in Bali... and they will always fit better. And the plus of Gath helmet, is obviously that you can take it into the surf if you feel it is a necessity - not just for the scooter. BTW, nice skill with the SUP on the scooter!
