Morning. Bali was excellent. So, as long as you can ride, don't take all the waves, be friendly, it is all good. The odd Aussie seems to like to be a smart arse however get out their early 5.45 am, talk to surfers, call the sets. I only saw 2 other sups the whole time I was there. Think the v box helps, surfers comment on how well it goes and even the odd request to try, which is entertaining because they think it will be easy, as we know takes a bit to get use to a small board. Sign up at one spot, no paddleboards on the outside peak. But on the large days 2 1/2 over head, 30 surfers out, all sitting on the second peak and I was the only one going out to the main take off peak. There was the odd clean up set which help me understand why air is important, not overly heavy just a big swim and take 5 on the head, swim to the channel and paddle out again. The people the food the surf the sunsets are unbelievable. (and cost is so low).
