On our last full day in Bali, we made another attempt at surfing the Bukit. We drove up right after breakfast and checked out Balangan. Dead low tide showed the sharp reef poking through the water. Hard, fast, overhead drops.

We made a move to Dreamland - where the smaller sets on the inside looked doable (shoulder to head high lefts, no shorebreak). But the bigger sets that rolled in looked like monsters -- overhead and a half that often closed out on the outside in massive clean-up sets. So Aya and I decided to watch and see first while Moro, JP and Phil paddled out.

Moro hit the reef (it was peak of high tide) while Phil and JP took ten minutes to paddle out ... and an hour to come back in. So yeah, the search for fun waves continued in vain.

Back to Kuta beach for one last session catching tiny reform walls and knocking back cold Bintangs and Teh Botols.
