Bali early 70'

For younger or those nostalgics of these fabulous trips in the 70s, when many spots were still to be discovered on the planet.

 

Some will tell you that Bali was genuine, no polution, no invasion from an army of aussies with neck wider than shoulders, hooked on Balinese girls, alcohol and other substances. The nature and the ocean were preserved and the crowd was 5 guys on the spot, like in the movie "Morning of the Earth."

Ok, we know the verse, and it is a vast subject, on which Indonesian authorities should give more credit to real estate implementation, health and ecology. Each of us should be aware of its limits and do everything possible not to destroy this paradise, because it is still a beautiful island with a lot of secret places to be visited. Of course if you merely stay at Kuta, Legian and its surroundings, it will look like Biarritz in August...
But those who know well this island will tell you that it always has a soul and a real culture, beyond the tourist invasion.
Each one should try to be less idiot during surf sessions, because you can still have fun and being smart to avoid the crowd ...

 

So now, press PLAY and have a look at the Bukit peninsula as we would like to see and surf it today ...
