Surfing at Kuta beach

Cheers mates :)

So as Betty mention the last time we are set to go surfing.

We went there around 15:00 cause thats when the waves are decent for learning. We had been planning to go surfing for a long time now so finally we where about to do it. :) We just went to the beach and asked around to get the cheapest prize. And there is so many stands to choose from.

The beach is packed with people who give out surf lessons and some hopefully is better then the one I (Julian) had. And after some hussel we found Bob. Bob was a guy doing pretty much every thing, we could get beer, transport, surf lessons and some marijuana for later, if we wanted. He had hes dirty little fingers in on all the action as he said. :) we seem to meet all the nice guys dont we??? Still even at 15:00 he thought that the waves where to big so we had to sit down, have some water and just relax. :) nice start... So then after half an hour waiting it where our turn to try, first they gave us a wet t-shirt and a board. Then we walked down towards the beach and learned the technique for standing up and their commandos.

(1. Paddle 2. stand up) mhm, would never had figure out that I where to stand up on my own.... But anyway, we got our surfboards and went out in the water. The waves where even bigger in the water then what they looked like from the beach. And Betty had some trouble handling the surfboard since the waves where so big and she is so small. :) her guide where just laughing since she went up and around whit the board instead of going over the wave. It was funny :)
In the water both of us quickly got the technique to get up so we kind of got the hang of it already on the second wave. :) witch ment that we got a lot of time to practice. We where in the water about 1 hour for the first session before we had a 5 min break on the beach, just so that the would maximize their income by wanting us to buy something more to drink.. Smart isn't?? Since it where our first time we got this big soft learning board witch u can walk back and forward on without any problem. But its harder to turn so u basically just go straight on and doing some tricks that u pick up by your self after just testing it. :) But after the break I (Julian) changed to the pro boards, just for the fun of it. It went fine, a little bit more difficult to get up but I quickly picked it up. But when u first fell the waves would twist and turn u under the water so when u got up u didn't quite now where u where. Betty got the hand of it, surfing long waves all the way to the beach. Her guide where funny and skilled so she got to do some good waves and she even had a string bikini on so her guide had a good time as well :) hehe. But after getting the hang on things u want more right?? But my guide kept on giving me the smaller waves and keeping me floating for a while. (Witch means that u get closer to the beach and the waves close down on u). In the end I just got sick of riding 10 meter and then just sinking by yourself cause the wave isn't strong enough to carry u. :( so I told him several times that I want bigger waves, but he still kept on holding me and letting go when the waves where small so I just king of told him to have a go. :) And seriously he had a hard time getting up from the board and where on my level. So how are u suppose to learn from a guy that looked like he had surfed 4 times before in hes life???????????? But anyway, good experience and a lot of fun :) we recommend trying it and we would for sure go again :)

When we got back from the hotel we found out how tired we where from surfing :) its really hard, much harder then it looks like. U get tired of fighting the waves all the time so we kind of just relaxed for a bit before we went out for a couple of beers and a movie. Its this awesome surf bar\restaurant that has movies each night at 19:00 an 22:00. Today they showed the movie, you don't mess with the Zohan.

An hilarious movie with Adam Sandler. And after that we went to our internet guy who also happens to be the guy we rent the car from, for tomorrows little car getaway. :) We are going to drive up to the north and take a look how things are there. The true Bali as many says. So take a look tomorrow for there might be some awesome pics from the "true Bali".

Thats it for now. Have fun wherever u are and we still would like u to write some more. :) Just komment guys.
Ps. Sorry for the surfing pics, we didnt bring a camera since we where both in the water all the time so thats why the google pics. Thanx u for the pics whoever u are. :) cheers
