Ben Wilson WAVE CAMP daily updates
Sunday 20 - Here is the first of the daily feeds to let you share some of the fun and conditions of our first wave camp here in Bali
We have 8 people in the camp 6 from Australia and 2 from Japan -
Everyone has arrived here in Bali and tomorrow we head up to Balian for our first day.
Conditions here were windy today - good side off wind and a bout another 10 kites out.
Monday - Day 1
We arrived at the camp after a 2 hour drive. Awesome accomodation in a family style resort. The wind was already up to 18 kts sideonshore. After lunch we hit the beach and rigged up. Had to wait for a few surfers to get off the break but soon had the crew ripping the A frame break.Waves were arounf 2-3 feet but perfect for the clinic - his is the smallest its gets here. By 5 pm the wind dies and it was beer oclock.
Day 2 - The keen crew hit the surf for a glassy 3 ft session before breaky then a few had a massage while the wind turned on again 15 - 20 sideshore - 9 -12 m kites and 3 ft of nice walls The left here is so long and rippable it gives everyone a chance to sort out their new skills Most crew learned to unhook and some went strapless for the first time Michael from brissy tried using his 9 6 mal and ripped it up. After the session we hit the outdorr lounge for the video feedback and everyone had really stepped up their riding Dinner was a seafood buffet and more beer - life doesnt gett any better!!!
Day 3
Great surf at 6 am - but now its 10 am and the wind is filling in again - --------just got back wind again all avo not as strong but you could still stay up wind
Swell predicted to pulse tomorrow..
