****EVENING SURF UP-DATE**** Howdy crew and sorry about the late surf and weather report, but I suppose it’s better than not getting one at all. Well my day started off pretty rough after a night of fare well drinks with one of my Aussie mates and some of the local surfers from here in Tuban. Then I had to get up at 4.30am and get ready to drive my family up into the mountains to get ready for my son first ceremony. But that’s another story, or maybe even another page in the book.
But I did organize Dewa Made to ride for Padang Padang to see what was happening down there as the tide was dropping through the early afternoon. So as ya’s can see in these latest images outta Bali (frame grabs) Padang Pa dang was del ivering the goods for the boys in Bali .
Dewa actually surprised me and shot around 20 minutes of tube time which I’m gunna be cutting into a whole truck load of Video Clips for you guys to drool over at work. So hang in there and I’ll get em done as fast as I can. I’ve also just been handed a memory card from Scotto who also just happened to be shooting photos from the same session at the same location. So I’ll throw them at ya’s for morning tea tomorrow morning.
Ok crew I’m beat from the 7 hours of driving in Bali traffic and mountain passes so I’m calling it a day but as soon as I get back from a surf in the morning I’ll get back onto the baliwaves program ok.
Swell Forecast (15th – 22nd June) Well after taking a long look at the available swell prediction sites it looks like for today and most of tomorrow wave height will be remaining in the 2-4ft range depending on location of course. Then late Monday or possibly Tuesday we’ll start to see the next swell hitting the reefs of Ind onesia . I’m pretty sure by Wednesday we are gunna be seeing some very solid waves in the double to quadripple over head size. Wave height will settle down a touch, but not too much come Thursday then continuing to taper off through Friday. Then next weekend there’s gunna be more action with arrival of a second swell pushing wave height back into the 5-6ft+ sector. So get ready for it and if your gunna be here in Ind onesia then ya had better stay tuned to the baliwaves.com for the daily coverage.
Ok As ya’s may have noticed… these current photos are just a few of the one’s I shot from my little 3 day excursion to Scar Reef at the end of last week. I’ve also managed to put together a little 2 minute video clip from Scar’s but I had to slow down the speed because I was filming “hand held†from a rocking boat. But anyway I still think it looks ok and it sure as hell does give you a good idea of the power of a solid wave at Scar Reef on the island of Sumbawa .
Drop me a line if your interested in getting on board a 9.5mtr high powered ocean speed boat if you want to surf locations like Desert Pt, Scar Reef, Supersuck, Yo-Yo’s without having to wait days to get the their the old way. I’m thinking this type of trip is gunna be the New Way to hit Lombok and Sumbawa instead of the old 7 day slow boat system. Especially when it’s priced around the same range but doubling the amount of surf time !
And just a reminder that we still have some baliwaves.com T-Shirts and stickers available for ya’s here in Bali so drop me a line.
Mentawai islands ; The good guys from the Kandui Surf Resort have sent us through another new batch of photos showing off more perfection in their part of Ind o. And you’ll be able to suss them out in the Surf Report section. Here’s another baliwaves bonus for ya’s dept; Anyday now we’ll also be providing ya’s with surf reports and photos from the Macaronis Surf Resort up in the Mentawai’s. I was talking to a couple of friends yesterday who have been out on charter in the Ments and they reckon if they ever make it back up there again they won’t be going on a boat after stopping off in the Surf Resorts. That’s where they’ll be heading. The Surf Resorts up there just make it all too easy for their guests with speed boats to zap you around all day and then back to the Resort for R & R in the evenings.
G-Land ; I had a pnone call from G-Land this morning and Raymond said to tell you guys and girls that he’ll give you 15% discount off the published price. Just click on his G-Land banner over in our banner advertisement section and drop him an email.
