It’s correct to say Bull Sharks are more active after storms & in murky water. But for decades we surfers have been out in those conditions & had no incidents. Things have changed & action is needed! Also to any surfers that defy the advice not to surf while the beaches are closed are not only risking their own life but also others that may have to risk their lives just to save you! Have some respect & don’t be a dickhead!

That’s a wrap for August 2025 Bali. Another awesome trip scoring a couple of my favorite spots in alltime conditions. Catching up with old friends. Making new friends. A few magical surfs with hardly anyone out. A ton of massages. A ton of food. A ton of fun! See you in March 2026 🏄‍♂️❤️🙏🏾😊 Leanne Watson
