Hello all

First trip to Bali on the 10th August, very excited, wanted some advice on which board to take! I have been mainly surfing with a mini mal 7'6, having fairly recently added surfing to my watersports after many years windwurfing. In a fit of thinking I was perhaps better than I currently am, bought a second hand fish 6'1 (wide 20" and fairly thick 2"3/4). I have tried the fish once when I bought it down Yallingup way but SuperTubes was a tad fast a take off for me that visit! I want to start using the fish more regularly and thinking Bali would be a good place to get some intense practice in! Staying in Seminyak so around there / Kuta hear is the better options for progressing? Know its hard to comment without seeing what standard I am but thoughts on which board to take? Also is it possible to get in morning and post lunch/early arvo surfs (does it get windy that time or year in arvo) as the missus is taking her mini mal so could potentially flounder in the morning on the fish while she's on her mini mal and I could then grab that for an afternoon surf (she'll likely only surf once a day)

thanks!

Awesome thanks for the advice, will post on the shortboard forum too!

Ah cool thanks, actually particularly because I'm crap I'd be keen to try less busy spots as having to think about what everyone else is doing just adds another layer of complexity to something that's already plenty complex! So will definitely give Canggu a try... Any other less busy/cruisy wave spots much appreciated.

Got back yesterday from 2 weeks in Bali. Its the same old story as everywhere up early and you get it to about 9.00 - 10.00am uncrowded. The water is warm and the best surf depends on the tide. So just go and enjoy yourself. First day home today I checked out the surf its flat cold and ****. Give me Bali crowds and tides anyday.
