Photos: Salsa in a big Ulus
Uluwatu on the last swell (Thursday and Friday) saw beautiful 6-8 foot waves with perfect offshore winds.
When Ulus gets big there are always considerably less surfers in the water. At 7am with the low tide there were just 10 guys out. I sat in the top Warung having a coffee watching Outside Corner ~ Jason Salisbury was waxing up, preparing to get out there and had his videographer with him – he was stoked to be surfing Ulus with barely anyone else out.

Photos: Holiday at Bingin
Everybody loves a holiday… particularly if it’s unplanned and coincides with swell. Thursday’s Hari Merah (red day – local jargon for public holiday) saw the swell drop off a bit on the Bukit, but this didn’t stamp out the fun.
