Bali Surfing Site In Bali, the surfing community has contributed a great deal to the well-established lingo. Mind the undemanding “Kuta English” of the street peddlers and beach vendors, nonetheless. But this humble island, being such a magnet for the past decades, has drawn surfers from which to explore the rest of the wave treasures to be found in the archipelago. Surfers have explored and ridden remote spots throughout the islands, with a scattering of treasures still remaining to be found. Those discovered are autonomously baptized, sometimes in disregard to their native local names, and then accepted as a whole. Something like that what happened to America. No one knows what the land was named prior to Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci. Several favorite surf spots have been baptized by the community of wave hunters. Revising their history has somewhat been somewhat of a task, and sometimes the search for answers has been in vain. But the surfing community’s ‘folklore’ has some interesting background on some of the names of the notorious surf spots around the island. Let’s start from the nucleus of Kuta where the surf culture grew from and then expanded. This is the small stretch of coastline where a colorful American expatriate from Los Angles named Robert Koke first visited Bali way back in the 30s, and then started all the fuss with the establishment of the first hotel, the Kuta Beach Hotel, now Inna Kuta Beach. We can easily regard him as the Father of Surfing in Bali, for his pioneering role in introducing the sport to locals who were initially daunted by the ocean. Kuta boasts six prominent spots. One pinpoint is the airport landing strip in southern Kuta where the runway divides the swells from the sea into two. The southern part is distinctively called the Airport Right, while the northern part, thanks to the beachfront area of the Patra Bali, formerly known in ‘brief history’ as The Pertamina Cottages, is simply named Airport Lefts, or Pertamina. Left and right are determined by which direction the wave’s beaks as you view it when you flew into Bali (from the ocean, not the beach). Further to the north we find Kuta Reef, which shares its sphere with the beach of Tuban. Next, on the now so crowded road adjacent to Kuta beach, Jalan Pantai Kuta, is where halfway stands, indeed halfway down the kilometer-long beachfront. Just before the road turn right Bob Koke’s reminiscent hotel and the Kuta Baywatch Headquarters. Halfway is the most frequented division of the coastline before Legian beach, which might have been far more intimidating not a single person for as far the eye could see.
Down south, to the peninsular realm of the Bukit. The karst towering periphery exposed to the powerful sea swells from the open Indian Ocean, holding a surfing dominion of dreams. Following the airport across Jimbaran Bay to the south, we arrive at Balangan, its name referring to a serene cove and a temple that nestles on its white cliff area.
Bingin, just down from Dreamland, was believed t being named after the rare growth of a giant banyan that grew on top of the cliff above, in the simplified local tongue ‘beringin’. Around a kilometer down from Bingin is a unique spot named Impossible. Now why regard something as impossible, but still favor to ride it. It is know to look quite and have perfect from; however the task of riding this wave for very long turns out to be all but impossible for the majority. As with most of the waves of this coastline, best check and have a look from a top the cliff prior to undergoing the test.
To the south of the Peak is Temples, a shifty and fickle wave spot, when it rides are carefully chosen one might find one self in a surfing bliss, a spiritual fulfillment in a temple of your very own. Nyang-Nyang is another native retained name of a surf spot, down the south coast around from Ulus. The southernmost tip is the beachfront of the Bali Kencana Resort Hotel, often referred to as the Green Ball. “What’s soccer got to do with surfing?” you may ask. The most strenuous act of getting there is the everlasting flight of stairs that head from the parking spot down. Scenes are quiet arid and typically dry, adding to the hardship workout. But ones arriving on the sand, the sweat pays of well. Although very frequently misconceived as “Green Bowl” (including a furnished signage at the stairs!), Green Ball owes its name to a pair of veteran Australian surfers back in 1975.On first seeing the fine waves from above, a local group of fishing boats that used green glass balls to float their nets was in the bay. Circling further around the Bukit peninsula you arrive in the Nusa Dua area, where there’s a uniquely named spot called Sri Lanka, on the beach front of Club Med. What has the Far East got to do with this place? No one actually knows for sure….. So, you are welcome, and who knows what new nicknames may come up from the lingo of the vagabond surfers. Just join in on the saying “What’s in a name? As Shakespeare said as he came to Bali and rode the waves.
