so today might be my last post for at least a week. im heading off into the jungle of eastern java in search of surf. i will be staying in grajagan surfing one of the most famous lefts in the world, g-land. im pretty excited but it should be interesting because there is supposed to be a big swell coming in. im not sure ill have enough board to handle that super fast wave. ill just hope that the first few days are relatively small so i can get accustomed to it before i decide if it is too big for me or not.
bali has been fun for the last few days, uluwatu is an insanely good wave. i will have to say that using the mopeds here is one of the most dangerous things i have ever done. there are no rules in bali. you turn right from the left side and vice versa. the idea of driving on the left is not so much of a rule as it is a loose habit. there are donkeys and mopeds and motorcycles and buses and taksis (taxis) it is just insane. they really believe in the survival of the fittest here. if your vehicle is larger than the other persons then you get right of way...no matter what side of the road. this puts mopeders in a predicament when there is a truck overtaking another truck. i felt fortunate to actually get out alive. there were times when i didnt think i would make it but im here.
well for now ill be heading to check to see that my luggage makes it on board the transit and i leave in four and one half hours for g-land.
o i almost forgot. i got the longest fastest barrel of my life at uluwatu yesterday which was really cool. especially because someone hooted for me on the shoulder.
