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 […]
I’ve been to Bali over 20 times yet still are finding new spots to surf and having awesome sessions. This last trip just gone was up there with the best. The timing of the size, swell direction, wind, tides and everything was on point giving me some of the best sessions I’ve ever had. A […]
Every surfer has been though that long painful period of time without a surf for many a different reasons. However there is nothing like the feeling after that surf when you have been waiting so long! This time round I had been waiting around going insane for around 6 weeks. On some days there were […]
There is nothing quite like the feeling of discovering and surfing a new location. I’ve been to Bali around twenty times and still are discovering new locations. The challenge though is to score these locations with the ideal conditions to get the best waves. Sometimes easier said than done. Being an Island nicknamed ‘The land […]
Do I believe in luck? To a certain extent I do. Do I believe in Karma? 100% I do! Good things happen to good people. I believe my wife and I are good people, we work hard, always look for the good in others and the positivity in all situations. This is why I believe […]
It was March 2024 and the big swell was forecasted to hit Bali in two days. I’ve surfed Keramas on the East Coast of Bali at a solid size before, but I knew that this coming day was going to be a little beyond my capabilities, but I didn’t want to miss out on surfing […]
I’ve been travelling to Bali since 2010 and have nearly clocked up around twenty trips but on the most recent in August 2023 I surfed some of the most perfect waves I ever had. This is just one of those sessions. You see, it’s not only knowing where the perfect waves are in Bali, you […]
Called ‘Shipwrecks’ from a wreck back in the 70’s most of the wreck had broken down over the years since. That was until a few months ago when a tug boat towing a barge ran aground causing a new wreck that was meters off destroying the whole wave. Rumors of broken tug engine, drunk or […]
It was March 2020 and we were staying on the West Coast of Bali at Keramas and Nusa Dua for 8 days. We arrived right at the beginning of Corona and only just managed to get our trip in! Keramas is a heavy, world class right hander breaking over a shallow section of reef off […]
