Hi all,
I've just spent 5 days SUPing Bali (sanua reef).

If you get a chance, do your self a favour and head up there for some great waves / weather and freindly people.
The first 4 days were friendly small waves to learn on. The 5th day was huge, too good for me.

Jankie from Bali Kitesurf hires out SUP's and is a wealth of knowledge on the local hot spots. Also has great prices on new and used SUP gear.

Hey DJ,
The reef is about a 200m paddle from where I was staying. Girya Santarian - Sanua. No boat required.

Go onto Bali kitesurfing web site, follow the prompts to SUP and gallery. Pic's of Tanjung left and right / Hyatt reef and school session were in front of where I was staying.
I was aloud to keep the SUP i hired at my resort, paddled when ever I liked.
The red roofs in the back gound in a couple of the pic's was where I was staying.

From sun rise until lunch time the water is flat as in the pic's, no wind. After lunch the wind is around 5 to 8 knots and it's time for Bintangs (beers )beside the pool. High tide in the a.m. was the go.

There was another great spot near kite beach, it was a bit further out though. (Probably 20 minutes to half hour paddle).
No need to go there when it was ideal out the front of where I was staying.
