Last Bali Surf

Went out at Nusa Dua at low tide around 4pm.  Surfed till almost dark.  Boats weren't running because of the low tide, so we did the reef dance out.  Top of the reef had about a foot or less water on it. Swell never fully developed today and it was a bit inconsistent.  Sets were running 5 ft with take-offs that were overhead.  Both Mike and Curt caught a couple of fast, glassy and lined up rights.  I caught 2 mid-sized waves, but never was in position for one of the set waves. It's great to be surfing with 2 friends who are both charging and have more surf skills than I do.  Just what I need for motivation as I work through the post injury jitters  and transition from weak Florida beach breaks to powerful Indo reef breaks.  We had a great dinner at Curt's house tonight and got to spend a little time with his two beautiful kids. Ani , his wife, was out so we were sad we didn't get a chance to say goodbye and thank her for letting us tie up Curt all week.  Curt is a good friend and a perfect surf host.  He put us on great waves everyday we surfed.  We leave for the Mentawais tomorrow.  Both Mike and I agree that this was a very special week in Bali.  We couldn't have asked for more.

Thank you for sharing this post with us, I am working in Marinasrikandi as a travel agent. Bali is an amazing island surfing location in the Indonesian archipelago of 18,700 islands just 8 degrees south of the equator. Legend has it that Bali was first discovered as a great surfing destination in the late 1960s by Australian surfers, but whether or not this is true, Bali has since become one of the hottest spots on the world surfing itinerary by leagues of surfing enthusiasts.
