Again, a very uneventful day to report. Saskia and I both got up at 6:30am go try and go for an early surf, before the wind got up. We got down to the beach to find there was still loads of swell. It was marginally better than the day before but sill a big old mess really. However she had a new board and I'm dying for a surf so we went out anyway.. And soon regretted it. The current was going up the beach pretty quickly and the waves were absolutely crap, if you...

Today I got up about 8am to another beautiful sunny day. Before breakfast Saskia and I went to check the surf, which was marginally better than yesterday but still far from great. The wind had dropped and there was a lot of swell around. About 4 guys were out getting 1/2 pretty bad ones, but better than nothing. We came back and ate, I stuck the fins in my board and went back to the beach in hope of getting a wave. In the 40 minutes that took the marginal wave w...

So today was my first full day back in Canggu. I got up about 9am to really nice sunny weather! The storm had obviously blown itself out overnight, taking the clouds with it.

I woke up at 7:30am this morning, packed up all my stuff into my board bag, had a quick breakfast and headed off to the Immigration office. Fortunately the weather was overcast but dry, so it wasn't such a bad drive. One that thing is really noticeable though is when it's dry and your driving in the city, the air is SO thick with fumes. Especially on the scooter behind lorries it's hard to breathe. The only reason I had to go to the Immigration office was to pay...

Today's blog will take all of 2 minutes to write - Got up after huge still at about 10:30/11am. Catching up on the 3-4 hour I got the night before, an early morning and stressful evening. As Wesley and I ate breakfast his brother and Bo turned up to use the Wifi (its amazing how their much nicer place doesn't have wifi?!). We all went back to their as they packed the Taxi full of stuff and got ready to leave - they were going to Seminyak (near Canggu) to drop ...
