There is nothing quite like first discovering a surf break that has been on your destination list. The adventure is even more exciting when you have to find the place first. The place I had on my radar for quite some time was ‘Nikko’ situated somewhere on the Nusa Dua coast of Bali. I had […]
I had spent many years dreaming about surfing Bali long before my first trip. I studied all the waves, the best tides, the best winds, the dangers, basically any information I could find! However, none of this seemed to help me when I had my very first surf in Bali! The excitement was at its […]
There is nothing like a fresh autumn swell alongside perfect conditions & a bunch of great surf spots to choose from. I was about to experience just this on the South Coast of NSW. However the danger, believe it or not, can also be having too many options…On this occasion I had a handful of […]
