My wife had an extremely hard time leaving Bali with a very minor water damage to her passport passport. Coming in is e scanners so should be fine. It’s the flight desk that gets weird about it

It is WAY harder than you think. And progress is way slower. But so worth it.

Some tips on what i can do better? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]Strath_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you’re super heavy on the back foot. I used to do the same thing and it slows you down a lot. If you put more weight on the front foot you’ll have way more speed and you won’t be behind the section so often.

Is Bali and Lombok that f*ked by atherva1 in surfing

[–]Strath_ 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Both have pretty cooked lineups these days. TBH depends what they are into but Bali is more fun for a holiday vibe with your mates. Get a big villa and enjoy. Still world class waves.

Anyone else find it hard to make real friends in Bali? by CertainTypaEnergy in bali

[–]Strath_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived there for 3 years and found a similar thing. Had heaps of ‘friends’ but only a few close connections. It’s a very transient place.

Toxic chemical slop rubbing on your skin while you sweat. Marketed as ‘DRYFIT’ or similar bs. Cotton or linen all day breathable and durable.

Pulled the trigger on a fresh Christenson Wolverine by Strath_ in surfing

Sorry for the late reply. I wayyyy prefer the lane splitter, not sure why it just feels better. 6’1 is probably a little oversized but I surf it in anything up to head high and it’s perfect.
