**** AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE **** Howdy crew and thanks for waiting around for the run down on todays surfing and weather conditions here in Bali today. Ok, well as usual I did the mandatory surf check down on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban. The wind was blowing outta the West @ 5-9knot and on-shore but most importantly wave height had improved slightly and showing at 2-3ft between Kuta Reef and Airports .
So as ya’s can see in these latest photos to come outta Bali / Indonesia I decided on hitting the road for Keramas over on the East Coast of Bali . I arrived around 9.00am to find some nice 2-3ft+ waves peeling off infront of the beach side cafe. And with the wind direction still coming outta the West surfing conditions were clean and tidy through till around 11.00am when it shifted around to the SSW and cross/on-shore. Not too bad crowd wise either, peaking at around 25 surfers, and when I packed up it was down to 10.
Weather wise we’ve had a “mixed bag” so far today. We had some solid rain here along the West Coast through the early AM followed by blue sky and sunshine. Right now at 4.00pm the sky is starting to cloud over again with the possibility of more rain later tonight. Temperature wise the mercury woulda maxed out at around 28-29 degree’s Celsius.
Help Request : If anyone is going to be heading to Bali from the Perth area this month and would be willing to help us out by bringing a lap top computer over to us from a friend in Perth we’d be totally stoked. This lappy is not for baliwaves.com it will be going up to the Datah Primary School and has been offered up by a champion of a bloke named Shane Cavanagh. Drop me an email if you could help us out and I’ll put you in touch with Shane. Thanks.
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.
Well Thanks to all the kind hearted folks that have helped us improve the conditions up at the Datah Primary School ! We are making some real progress with the objectives we made, so make sure you check out our progress at the school via the “SCHOOL PROJECT” page over on the menue bar .
