The famous Nusa Dua reefs, aka Geger, had been on my radar for many years prior to this trip. It’s a large offshore reef that receives an abundance of swell from the Lombok Strait that can be surfed from two feet up to twenty feet. Like Uluwatu, on the west coast, Nusa Dua almost always […]
Every surfer has experienced the magic of a ‘Dawn Patrol’ at one stage in their life. Paddling out before sunrise when the conditions are perfect and often with the least number of surfers out. Then there are the ‘Sunset Sessions’ where you surf the last few waves of the day as the light fades into […]
Surfers have many varying opinions about Balangan. Some say the wave is a glorified close out and not worth the effort. Others strongly disagree. Some say it’s too crowded. Some don’t even know it exists. The truth is that Balangan can be many things, but if you experience it enough, you can ride some of […]
Uluwatu, simply called Ulu, is one of the most famous surf locations in the world. It has been said it may have been surfed in the sixties but the most documented discovery came in 1971 when Australian surf film maker called Alby Flazon arrived with a couple of surfers. After the release of his film […]
I had surfed here on a handful of occasions and still felt I had not had that alltime session I was looking for, nor had I got the place fully wired. Don’t get me wrong, I have certainly had some awesome waves here but felt that there was much more it could offer me. The […]
You previously read about the awesome few days I scored this wave with my nephew two years ago and how good it gets. I’ve also had some other surfs here over the years which have provided some great waves. Last year I had some great sessions in perfect conditions and have been itching to get […]
Surfing Nusa Lembongan is a funny old thing. A small Island about 30 minutes off the coast of Bali, it is a place where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. A little more laid back and a bit more old school Bali. Palm fringed beaches with a peaceful environment […]
GETTING OUT Monkeys, fish, turtles, tides, ponds, emptiness, fast, slow, rocks, boulders, caves, lost, walking, rushing, reef cuts, hold downs, wipeouts, sea snakes, timing, watching, waiting, commitment, adrenalin, excitement, nervousness and scarcity are just a few words that come to mind when I recall this ‘Impossibles’ adventure. Brett and I watch the line up intensively […]
‘Spooky’ best describes this session, if you can call it a session. It was in March 2025 with perfect conditions, not a breath of wind, the water surface pure glass and a rising swell. The hurdle though was the morning low tide, which doesn’t mix well with most reefs around Bali. Nethertheless, I chose to […]
