Hey RL
Went to Ulus peak season 2013, not much swell so it was totally packed with pros and kooks and to be polite it was a complete fr!@@in dog fight on a short board.
Took the sup out and surfed and paddled all the way down to Padang and back and got heaps of waves to myself every day (bumped into Tom Carroll on his short board, had a chat and felt the envy

). Even on the bigger days I got waves and avoided the crowd. It was my second sup trip to Bali and I wouldn't go back without one. Don't know where you can hire them, but pretty sure they will be available somewhere in Kuta.
Have a great trip and safe travelling RL!
