Surprisingly the trip started off smoothly, all be it that we left 2 hours later than planned. We stayed in Bournemouth for the first night to pick up Laura who was travelling with me and another mate. The next morning we headed to the airport, with about 8 miles to go our fuel was on empty so had to divert into a town to find some....this took a while longer than anticipated and we got to our flight only an hour before departure. It took ages to get through security and that and literraly got to the boarding gate with only minutes to spare... The flight went quick which might have had something to do with the 9 red wines and 3 nitol, and then we had a swim in the pool in Singapore, and later arrived in Bali. Unfortunately the waves weren’t too special the first day so had a night out with the boys. The second day was also flat so had another night out...Kuta rats so far!!! The third day we finally got a wave but it was pants....bout 2 ft Nusa Dua, definitely not worth the paddle across the lagoon. My knee felt a little injured still so decided a few more days out the water was a good idea, especially as the waves were so bad. Anyway a few more days passed and a very small swell started pushing through. I surfed Canggu with a few mates one morning which was only small, but good fun, and the following day had a surf at Blackstone on my own, which rarely happens out in Indo. Only a few feet but good fun! The knee is feeling a little better too so should be up to scratch within a few days. Also my new board off Tunnel Vision is feeling really good, so I’m getting excited to surf some proper waves now.
