Surfing:
Good body surfing with crystal clear water and top to bottom tubes.
The best months are during the Aussie winter, March-July. Waves
seldom get over 2 m high. During the summer, the weather is changeable,
from glass to cyclone and then back to glass in five hours. Watch
out for sneaky undertows and cross-currents. Take a prahu out
to the reef, it's safer. There's a wide range of boards for rent
(Rp400 per day) and for sale leaning up against losmen walls.
Buy wax for your board at Sunshine Surfboard Shop, JI. Legian,
near Legian, but it's expensive so bring your own. There are many
loud arrogant Aussie surfies acting like they never left Manly
or Cedi:na; even down to the Aussie manhood thing of throwing
girls in the water. Already a breed of young hip Balinese surfers
have evolved, wearing neck pendants, talking about their boards,
and calling you 'mate' or 'Hey, Spunky!'.
