Learning to Surf in Bali
I would like to apologize to every guy I’ve ever mocked for wearing a speedo. That may be a strange way to start a post about surfing lessons in Bali, but stay with me here! Like it or not, you just can’t surf in a bikini. Boobs will be flying all over the place, and let’s not talk about the multiple kinds of wedgies you can get. Because of this, I was wearing the standard surf uniform — board shorts and a short-sleeved lycra top — for my surfing lesson with Rip Curl School of Surf. And I quickly learned that swimming in boards shorts is incredibly uncomfortable. Board shorts are constricting, they tickle you, they cling in odd places, they feel weird in the water. I wanted to rip them off. So, speedo enthusiasts, I finally get it. And I apologize. I’ve never surfed in my life, but like most people, I’ve always wanted to learn! Bali is world-famous for its surfing, and Kuta is a great place for beginners as well as advanced surfers....
