Balangan

One of the first days of our trip we decided to go to a different place to spend the day, go sightseeing and surfing at a different beach.

We took our motorbike, put the boards on the rack and headed off to our adventure :)

In the way we did some stops to take pictures :) (Padang Padang Beach)

Great views during the way :)

Finally, another spot in paradise :) (Balangan Beach)

You can have great views looking at the beach and looking from the beach, what a dreamy place!!

to be continued...

Have a great day!!!

Batu Bolong

There were many beaches where we went surfing during our trip to Bali. This one is supposed to be a bit "easier" and many beginners go there. It was the beach where we first and last went surfing, so I have a pleasant memory of it. I found it a very fun and long wave which let you practise all kind of turns!

Every morning we woke up around 6am and checked out the weather (mainly the wind). Here you can see the views from our camp

These are some kids who live near to us, they used to play there almost all the time

father/grandpa?

After checking the weather, we rode our motorbike to the beach (as many other as you can see...)

The beach...

And finally, early morning surf! :)

Have a nice Monday!!!

Bali II - Periscopes

Hi all!! I am still getting all the pictures together and trying to choose which ones to put here, i wish i could show you all, but they are too many!!! hehe :)

Keeping the theme on surfing spots, here you have some pictures from Periscopes, a really strong right hander wave where we had a great sesion (although it didn't end that well, you will see why :))

I tried to get a barrel during the whole session, first failed attempt...

At least I could do some nice turns :)

Getting speed for the 2nd attempt

looking better...

but again nopp!!!! hahaahhaah ahhaha

And I gave it another shot

This one looks better, although I am not that deep at all... I guess I will have to come back to get a good picture!!! hahahahah :)

It was a pitty cause I had only caught a few waves when a massive set came and my board got smashed...

Have a great day!!! :)

Bali I - Lakey Peak

Hi all!!! sorry I have been "disconnected" for a while, but my internet in Bali wasn`t that good at all and it was impossible to post anything here. But I promise I will do my best now and try to show you most of our trip.

I will start with some pictures of the best spot I have ever surfed "Lakey Peak" (Sumbawa), a perfect swell came while we were there and we were able to surf perfect 6 feet waves during a few days. I saw there the most beautiful waves I have ever seen in my whole life, those that I could be looking at forever and not being able to decide which wave is the best, all of them where just the best themselves.

Perfect lefts...

And rights :)

I will try to do a brief resume of the trip and post it here, but I was so excited about the trip that I could not wait to show you some pictures!!! hehe :)

Nice day!!! :)
