Menda.
This morning I sat in a lil’ beach side warung waiting for the tide to come in. Next to me was a guy called Ketut (pretty popular name over here – meet 12 a day – means the forth child). Turns out it’s the legendary Ketut Menda, Bali’s former top surfer. Ketut aged 42 now is an all-round nice guy, owns Bali Barrel Surf shop in Kuta and helps teach surfing amongst the locals (e.g. shredder Pepen). The local talent these dayz is pretty incredible…they rip…

Msg.
After a few mouthfuls of MSG riddled Mee Goreng I spotted a spitting leftie down the beach. Water looked pretty skanky and it broke pretty fast but no one on it… 10 minutes later a bigger set rocked in (pictured above). Think I’ll stick to the rights thanks…

Yesterday I got a heap of emails. Loads requesting the location of the black sand beach I’ve been surfing (well that’s not gonna happen – some things are best kept secret) and a few others saying they really want Aquabumps broadcast from Bondi again. Well this is the last Bali special and back to 0.5 foot Bondi tomorrow. Yeha.

Bondi.
It’s tiny over there today. And there is absolutely nothing coming.end.

Later, uge
