Surfing in Bali: Why should you give it a try?

Why should a person try surfing on a trip to Bali? Well there are several reasons and people being very different, you will have to choose yours. The thrill of riding a wave, being out in the sun, learning a new sport, having fun with your mates, have fun with the locals under the trees, adding a new element to a holiday, doing something athletic, or simply trying to justify your latest souvenir are all reasons people surf in Bali. For me, and I don't call myself a surfer, the attraction is getting out in the water and enjoying the environment.

What are the pluses of learning to surf in Bali? Bali gets some swell all year round, meaning for people like me there are enough ripples every day of year to practice on. The water is warm, no freezing your tits off, like in California. Kuta beach is a 5 minute walk from 100 guest houses in the area. The beach is a supportive area for beginning surfers, With food and drink sellers, board renters and massage ladies ready to give encouragement while offering their services.
