Bali Surf Shops in Bali
Bali is surf central Indonesia
Sitting talking to Peter Cox today, owner of SurfTravelOnline I was once again made aware of what a huge industry surfing is in Indonesia. Peter organizes tours for people all over Indonesia on live-aboard boats and his tours take people to Sumbawa, G-Land, Mentawai's a many other places.

Big surf in Bali
Friday we had big surf in Bali. Not that I knew anything about if before a tourist told me and down at Palu's board shop on Poppies II he confirmed that it had been big for a week. People come all the way around the world to surf in Bali, from Brasil, Europe and the US. One of the great things about this island is the warm water and consistency of the waves, especially at this time of year.

Ding repair Gang Bedugal in Kuta Bali
Sitting in Gong Corner, the warung on Gang Bedugal, the extension of Gang Ronta between Poppies I & II I was checking out the small ding-repair place next door. For non-surfers, ding-repair is a place fixing snapped and damages surfboards. These places are all locally owned and will rent and sell used boards. From what I have heard the locals seem to do good work, they have been fixing boards for 30 years so I guess they've figured out how to do it. If you rent a board from these places realize it will probably snap in the small place sooner or later. These places in Kuta along Poppies II and Jl. Benesari are open all year. You can find ding-repair places at the main surf breaks too but usually only in the high season (June-Sept). The surf conditions start changing in October and people start surfing other breaks, leaving Uluwatu and heading to the east-side breaks such as Serangan and Nusa Dua.

Palu surfboard factory in Legian Bali
After returning to Kuta after the beach picnic at Serangan, Palu and Stewart offered to take me to their shaping room to check out the glassing process as they had a massive order of surfboards to fill.
