Da Bali Surf Connection/Gangsta Trip

We were at Uluwatu watching another sunset while deciding which way to go...Me, Australians Eddie "Predator", Glen "Gangsta" Johnson and his guest Jason Speed, Californian Michael "Soul Man", Hawaiian David Cantrell and the local Made Lana that wasn't sure about joining that expedition that was getting organized so quick even with all the psychological pressure from the crew...the internet was showing a swell of medium intensity for the next few days and we weren't sure between the "Point" or the "Jungle"...the conversation kept going for many Bintangs and ended up on Margaritas at Cacho's Sunset Grill...in that way some didn't leave that night like David Cantrell that ended up going home after the Bintangs at Ulu's and Eddie and Lana that went to join Tosca and Ketut Ronald on a memorable session of Margaritas and Tequilas that would leave any Mexican screaming "Arriba" for the rest of the night...

So we left Me, Glen, Michael and Jason at around midnight going towards the jungle at Plengkung, better known as G-Land...all the camps were closing and these were the very last days and the occupancy on Bobbys and Jungle Camp (only camps still open) together was of 9 people...besides those that was a boat anchored at the channel with 3 or 4 surfers and that was it...

After spending the night in a hotel in Java we got on the road early morning in the middle of the national park of Alas Purwo and even with part of the road blocked due to some damage caused by the heavy rains of this time of the year we still managed to get to Bobby's Camp in time for a session before lunch...the swell that was only starting to build up had already 3 feet solid and we surfed practically alone all session...

The following day Eddie "the animal" and Ford arrived on the jungle making the team stronger... We were on the jungle for only 3 days and the swell was always on the 4 to 5 feet range. Even with the wind never blowing offshore Moneytrees had always decent conditions with long and bowling waves that were surfed by all on almost every single session.

We still had a good surprise with the arrival of the camp's owner mr. Bobby Radiasa and the manager Puma that came to close the camp for the season 2007... And that's how we spent the last 3 days of Bobbys Camp on the season 2007.

On the way back we stopped to eat some goat sate that Eddie pulled up from his sleeve and we arrived in Bali at night after a trip with a lot of adrenalin with Eddie and Glen on the wheel of both cars of the trip that almost ended up badly. The angel is strong.

Now we are once again at Bali surfing Uluwatu with 4 to 5 feet on the high tide with changing winds that blow sideshore and onshore sometimes giving up when it gets oil glassy while we plan our next trip. The internet is showing another two pulses on the 4 to 6 feet range one on the 18th and another on the 21st...

Me, Eddie, Glen, Ford and Michael are already getting one more organized and maybe this time our crazy buddy Christian Fletcher will come along...

And the last dance goes on......this is Indonesia!!!
