Going to Bali in June, mainly to surf Kuta side . Would Sanur side have good kite conditions and beaches ???? To save me taking so much gear can I hire some there if there's no swell at Ullu's ????

Scott,

Let me know how you go in Sumbawa. I am either going to Vietnam or Brazil in late Oct - Early Dec. However will consider Sumbawa if conditions are good!

Tom

Thanks "High as" will do ...

strapped,

what percentage of the days would you say you were able to kite? And for how long each day when the wind was up?

We leave for Bali on the 4th june cant wait.

am here now, wind is cranking most days, stronger in some places more than others, and there are wind shadows close to the beach in many places but once out into open water, there seems like plenty wind, today down seminak way, out front of bungee jump was cross/cross-off with two guys out... bring your big kites..... and its def worth looking up strappeds' mate jack, save all the hassle, and thirty bucks a day for your own driver and kite bitch, i've never seen anyone attack a bird's nest or pack up a kite so quick.. the guy's an ace...xxx

im in Bali 19 june , 4 weeks time, for 2 weeks
you say wind is cranking , what size kite you on & what size board.

thinking of bringing 12 & 10.5 xbow 3 & 135 underground

thanks

Russell

Keen to know if anyone has stayed or kited here in Bali - looks like a great setup for the family - away from the hussel a little and has an awesome right hander too - also a big reef system out the back...

Yeah Bruce that is exactly what I meant if I knew you guys were there I would have popped up. Hope to see you in August if you are still there.

Hi Strapped Ill be there late August for 2 weeks and it sounds like this Jack fellow will be extremely good value. Ive got his number now so will get him to pick me up from the airport. Any one else going late August please send me a message or text.
On the western side of the island (Legian Canggu Balian) the cross shore is more consistent in the later part of the winter kiting season.

A rfwl was that your boy that was bitten by a shark at Lennox heads the other month,F#*@# scary ****.

G'day Taxi-man ... I'm here in Bali now ... wind as been ok ... but low tide in the arvo's right now not so good ... swell is supposed to be 2mtr but it's dropped right off ...

June 21~22 there will be the annual "HotAir 2008" kite-comp at Sanur ... should be a good one !

go to magic seaweed website and they have a good windgraph for Indo.

Beware all potential travellers, especially to Kuta
I was in bali last week for a surf trip, been surf training for weeks and even gave up drinking during the week, (i know WTF).
5 days after we arrived we arrived we decided to try and stay sober enough to go for a surf!
Bali has and awesome night life, for some reason the urge to try and drink 24 hours a day with your mates can be overwhelming, could be the cheap watered down piss dunno?
I know the next time i go to Bali i'll either stay in Kuta or stay far out of kuta, and not try to surf and party at the same time.
My 2 cents.

Im in bali now very hot.
I went to sanur today nice little spot to kite just got to dodge fisherman standing in the water.
Todays was blowing about 15 kn.

hey we arrive in Bali on July 11
will be trying Changu 12,14
then we are based at Balian for 1 week for the wave camp
then back in kuta for a week

we plan to post daily reports and pics and hopefully clips ( if the techonology allows)so keep and eye out for them
thanks
