Back in Bali and my trip has come to an end. Wow, a month sure flies by when you are over here. Looking back through all my photos, I definitely had a great trip. I caught some killer waves, made some friends and saw lots of interesting sights. With all the recent development on Bali, it would be easy to discount the place - which would be a huge mistake. This is still one of the most magical places on earth and it's holding tons of surf. Even though you won't surf by yourself, you will get plenty of waves and the experience more than makes up for the hassle. Here's a shot of Padang Padang on my last day here. That set is just a tad overhead and it's breaking pretty fast. This is still one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen.

You think Kuta beach is feeling the economic downturn? I don't. Have a look at all those cranes in the background. This place is fueled by international tourism from Asia, Europe and Australia. It's going off and shows no signs of slowing down.

This shot is from Ulu's, the day before I left. The swell just started to come up and there were some really fun waves coming in. There were a few guys on the cliff's taking shots so I bought a few. This is me trying the double-hand stall, which in this case, didn't work. It was super fun out there though and I got tons of waves. I had forgotten just how much I like Uluwatu.

The best part of Ulu's is the racetrack section at lower tide. It looks like it's going to run away from you but it doesn't. It opens up and you can actually just sit in the barrel for long way. The hardest part is jockeying with the crowd to pick off a set wave. Once you get one, it's on. This one was just a tad overhead and peeled perfectly.

On my last day in Bali, the swell finally came up (figures, right?) I had a 5pm flight so I took the morning and went back out to Uluwatu. When I walked down the cliff with my board in hand, this is what I saw! It's not a perfect wave, but with overhead sets coming in, I was stoked to paddle out. It doesn't get much more beautiful than this.

This is about as big as it got on my last day. Not scary or anything, but big enough to make you think twice about pulling in over shallow reef. I actually got a pretty good barrel on this one and it made my last day worthwhile. Even though I'd love to stay here and surf this next swell, I'm really looking forward to getting back home to my family.

If you are a surfer, and you've never taken a trip to this part of the world, do yourself a favor and go. It's a long trip and it costs a lot but it's worth every bit of money and effort - trust me on this. That's all for this trip. I hope you've enjoyed the updates. I've got some long flights ahead of me - Bali to Jakarta to Singapore to Moscow to Houston to Orlando to Nicaragua. I'll be back in a couple of days. Until then...

What’s up party people? We are the NSR family from down here in Nicaragua, posting a couple shots in for our daily surf report. The waves were super fun today, running a tad over head on sets and the winds were a little onshore. Check it out!!!
