Wow a big thanks to Clark and Mandy Valler for sending me some of their classic early Bali photos. If your like me and always fascinated with old photos of Bali then I hope you enjoy seeing this classic old collection covering just about everywhere in Bali. Growing up spending part of my early surf career days in Peter McCabe’s surfboard factory I was always mesmerorised by tales of early trips to Bali and G-Land. I think I have a few of Peter’s surfing photos that, fell off the wall here somewhere.
I’ve know Clark and Mandy for quite awhile and it was through Bali that we first met. I didn’t know that they were so cool I always knew them as just really nice people, just goes to show. Some of us older surfers were also once young and cool.
Please if anyone out there in internet land has a collection of early day Bali photos we would certainly love to see them. just hit this blue text and email away. We can gladly give you all the credit for them.

Love the pics, the reason why I still love legian/kuta because of so many old locals keeping the vibe alive
Nick says
Great shots. I went to Bali in 1978 and that’s what it looked like to me. How it’s changed.
