Bali was just a layover for us.  Spent the time with good friends and experiencing the rapid development and traffic.  Now it was time to head to our final destination.  We get to the airport and our flight was cancelled without notice.  Normal here so we jumped on the next flight

Another airlines and another baggage rules.  You better understand it or else you will get a surprise bill at the airport.  And if you don’t want to pay for it, it will not go with you.

Better be well hydrated here or your body will crash.

Wings airlines is one of the most dangerous airlines in the world.  I knew that but didn’t want to hear that from Kimura-san right when we boarded the flight.

I’m going to spend the next week with the closest and most important people in my life.  VIP is “Very Important People” and this is it.

Arrived at Sultan M Kahuruddin Sumbawa.

Arrived 10 hours later.  Left Kuta at 5am and arrived here at 3pm.  A long day but now it’s time to empty the suitcase, get out the boards out, and enjoy this precious time together.

Picked shells, swam, took a nap, and ready to enjoy the slow life!

The past 2 days in Bali have been small, but the swell arrived on time this afternoon.  Tomorrow we will head to another island and start the surf trip we’ve all been waiting for.  

The water is pretty cold.  The air is cool.  But when you have the best wetsuits in the world, it’s always warm.  Tokura-san at Kuta Beach.  

Landed in Bali and went to Mike’s house to pick up some surfboards.  That night turned into a party.  Good friends and good vibes.  

I took over a bottle of tequila and that’s when the party really started.

One of the Bowls girls told me that Eri-chan was in Bali.  So I texted her and next thing you know, we were having a great time together.  A super fun night with Carter, Mike, and Eri-chan.

Bali and Japan legends and friends. Party at Lusa Inn…
