Billabong Pro Junior Series Indonesia
Billabong has released the official dates for the Pro Junior Series in Bali for 2008, announcing a return to the prime locations of Keramas, Kuta Reef and Canggu for the three event circuit.

The events are open to any global competitor willing to try their hand against the local Indo rippers, you just need to be aged 20 and under.

Superbowl in Kuta Bali
Arriving early at Double D in Legian, for Superbowl XLI, I found out their great upstairs screen was off limits due to renovation. Sitting at the bar, the waitress took my breakfast order, the Big Double D (eggs, bacon, tomato, sausage, toast, tea or coffee for 35,000rp), and I settled in to wait for the game with several other westerners. Not watching that much TV here in Bali and only seeing 1 American football game a year, the media assault was rather overwhelming.
