Read all about this.it would be the end of Bali,it would become a ghost town and some many locals and ex pats would go broke overnight.
Personally I can't see it happening.

That would be cool, I'm arriving early 18 Sept & leaving late 29th. Will be around Northern Tuban on those dates. Like 18/19, 28/29. In between depends on swell size, big will stay in Sanur , small maybe Ulu's or Medewi for couple of days, possibly both if there's an extended small swell period. Trying to move around a lot, Fumi's a bit tired of my regular dry season routine. I have to be really mindful of that & try & make it more interesting with some changing scenery for her & dawnies for me..But yeah, that said pretty free except on the 21st & not booking anything till the last minute...Is Rose coming
A few interesting bits...

Yes, I really enjoyed it too, and I'm a die hard fin sceptic who believe fins catch more surfers that they catch waves.
But that does not mean I don't like the science of it.
Great read from Stu
The tricky history of the channel bottom
The general theory of channel bottoms is that they give grip and speed to a surfboard. The 'faces' of the channels give added surface to push against, and by removing bottom curve they create straight line drive.Yet the history of channel bottoms is anything but fast and stable: it's a slippery history, and it weaves in unexpected directions.

And a good follow up to that :

Seems the great mans halo may be getting a bashing from some quaters
Yeah, i might becoming more cynical in my old age but the timing of the article was interesting after Midgets link had been getting posted around the place.
Comments are a strange mix too.
Yes seems some either love or love to hate Bob and his recollection of the history.
What I do love on the Farrelly page is this shot of him. So much grace and style.
Make sure you scroll down to the video

Be honest, tell me what you think
I think I look pretty sexy

The second episode of Shed Sessions picks up after the Gudauskas brothers tried some wafers from the holy rafters of Eric “Bird” Huffman’s San Diego Surf Shed. Next on the invite list: Taylor Knox and Matt Archbold, whose board choices run a 40-year span of surfcraft history: a ’70s 5’10” Campbell Bonzer, a 4’8″ kneeboard, a late-90s Skip Frye fish, and an ’80s twin-fin with an airbrush that would have been right at home on a Devo album cover.
