any help would be great thanks

If you want underage prostitutes and seedy old failed expats: Sanur

If you want transport, a bintang singlet and a fake Louis Vuiton wallet: Nusa Dua

Also put on the must do list is healthy dose of STI's at Skygarden and the Bounty.

*****Just say Hi to Rhonda when you're there.
********Apparently she's got a 'beautiful brake foot'!!!

Stay away from Manchong!



Bye RPM

if you take taksi (taxi) from sanur to seminyak it only takes 40mins but no flat water waves only and normaly a few knots stronger also check baliann

i thought seminyak was off shore no wind at all, can you really kite seminyak in july ?, looks like amazing if you can the swell is fantastic but im sure the wind doesnt work?, anyone?

... only been there once but I think sanur is a good base to start from and depending on wind, you can head off to other spots, upwinder or downwinders.

As Jankie said, you can kite to Nusa Dua from Sanur and back again with ease. Infact I was on my way there when I found a brilliant spot on the way didn't bother going any further as I was having too much fun. Stayed there for 2 hours kiting side on wind point break with 3 to 4 foot waves, perfect easy relaxing time.

Mind you when, I got myself in such a zone, when I tried to come back and noticed the 20 or so other kites that were out, were gone!! WTF I thought. As it turned out, the tide dropped and the water dissappeared over the reef. I had to land well downwind and walk back, no big deal and it was the Best 2 hours kiting I had. Side on wind with 3 to 4 foot waves, perfect!

cheers,

Robbie

Sound like too lucked onto the only two hours a year that bali wind blows over 15kts..

... I think we were really lucky then, we got 6 out of 7 days, mind you beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if you don't like big kites then it would have been 2 out of 7!

cheers,

Robbie

Hi York's,
That sounds the go, what wind direction is that down winder?
I'll be spending a few days on that side of the island before heading to Balian.

Come on York's don't leave us hanging

Just had a look and it looks like a s/e down winder your talking about.

I've been to Semi on S/E and it's pretty sheldered.

So unless your 50kgs and under don't bother taking gear.

this is wrong dont even believe this

PS. Since 2008 I'm not involve with any Kite School..
There are 3-4 schools at the moment at Sanur.
I only help the local crew of Balinese of "Bali Kitesurfing School" at Kite Beach!
You can rent from them, they have pretty much every size of kites.
I do not offer rental of my shop.
Bye Jankie
