I left Phuket on the 6th of July to take my flight to Bali, Indonesia for my holiday which took an unexpected turn. I took my flight to Bali Indonesia for my first ever surf trip and as I arrived and left the airport, I was found flabbergasted as the first problem I encountered was the rental car. I was worried that the rental car was not big enough to fit a surfboard in the trunk (the car is a Honda havenza). We made our way to the house we rented at Canggu close to the beach, the house was beautiful mansion with a koi pond at the entrance with stepping stones to cross it as you entered.
The first day I was surfing an Almerick short board that I had rented for the day, I had been getting used to it for most of the day but just as sunset hit I clicked in and hit some steezy tricks in the water. After the sun had set, I paddled in towards the shore being super stoked with the session I had just finished. I came into shore and collapsed on the sand exhausted, and I still had to walk home. I stumbled my way into the outdoor bath connected to my room and had a nice long hot bath, it felt superb after beaning in the 19* water for the entire day. I made my way to the dining table and gazed upon the feast I was bound to have, a massive meal prepared by the private chef that came with the villa. He had cooked a big pot of paradelle bolognaise, as I shredded through the plate of food exhausted after my day of surf I finished and made my wat to the bed where I crumbled on impact and was knocked out.
The next couple of day I surfed at the same spot but after a week and a half I decided to rent another house in Padang Padang just before they held the wsl surfing contest. Having already bought 2 new surfboards I had already taken time to get used to them so as soon as I hit the water and paddled out to the reef, I was confident in my ability to surf these big barrelling waves and as I paddled to catch the first wave. Sonner than I knew it was time for me to catch my flight back to Phuket and I can say that it was a successful three-week trip to Bali.
