****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE**** G’day folks and thanks for hanging around for the run down on how it hasn’t been today. Well the weather has been faultless anyway, but wave height remains in the 1 foot range at best on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban. The wind was relatively calm through until around 11.am before coming up outta the S-SSW @ 6-8knot . There were a few hopefuls sitting on Airport Left around midday as the tide started to fill back in but like I said wave height was only waist high at best. Even down at Uluwatu wave height was only just pushing chest high on the bigger set waves, according to one of the surfers staying with us here at Home Base . Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon we’ll see a slight boost in wave height
Weather wise it’s been hot hot hot down along the beach, but the beach is the best place to be. I’d say the pemperature woulda peaked at something like 34 degree’s Celsius by midday. Right now at 3.15pm it’d still be sitting on 30. The water temperature is a nice relief from it at 24-25 degree’s Celsius.
I’m stoked that our Scholarship Program for underprivileged Balinese kids has done so well, THANKS BIG TIME to all the big hearted people who have got behind us and helped out. Now I’ve got a new program that I’d like to kick off. One that we can control and keep constant progress up-dates on. I’m talking about kinda adopting a school up in one of the area’s of Bali where there’s no cash flow from tourism and hardly any from anything else for that matter. The kids don’t have to pay school fees, because their Mum and Dad’s don’t have any money to pay. Half, or more of the kids that attend don’t even have shoes to wear to school and walk up to 4km’s bare footed or in rubber thongs just to be there. Now in my opinion this is a worthy project for us to think about. What I’d like to start off with is trying to raise enough cash to get electricity hooked up to the school, with electricity we can then look at a lot of other basic stuff, like a water pump etc etc etc.
Ok our first objective of aquiring the funds to hook up electricity to the school is done . So a huge pat on the back to all of you that have already contributed or in the process of !!! But there’s still a bit more we can do for the school so if you are interested take a look at the Info page on the school project over on the menue bar.
We have also secured our goal of providing 100 English / Indonesian dictionaries . So I’ll be heading back up to the school to hand them over and to get ya’s another progress report on how we are doing. So keep an eye on the School Project page .
Have a good one what ever you’ve got happening out there and stay tuned to the one and only Original Bali Surf and Weather website .
