Surfing Bali

Any surfer would kill for a trip to Bali and we are lucky enough to get to do  it.  I’m probably not the one of many surfers that deserved to be granted this privilege but I am grateful I did. Ok, so with that said, time to brag and boast of my surfing escapades.

Wescott, Yve and I, as you know, are surfers. On this trip, we’ve been fortunate enough to surf in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Zanzibar (kite surfing), and now in Bali.

My mom and dad were thoroughly reading the Green School’s website when they were fantasizing a scenario of us going there for school. During their research, they stumbled upon an extra curricular activity that the Green School offers for their students…surfing. Dad contacted the mastermind behind the surfing academy, an Australian named Colin,  and told him we were interested in mooching off of there surf school…of course we didn’t put it that way :)  Colin sent a message back and said he was happy to guide us on the road of wave riding on the island, so we dove right in three days after we arrived in Bali.

When you surf in Oregon the water is pretty much freezing year-round, but Bali is the opposite. Board shorts, a rash guard and a surf board is all you need to shred the gnar.

    You guys know how to rip it up! Surfing was so much harder than I thought it would be, but you guys all make it look easy. I love how the surfing instructor was freezing because he said the water was so cold. Felt like bathwater to me :)
