I pick the Japan Air Line to Denpasar for this trip cuz I can stop over Japan once and better connection than Continental Air or China Air, Price are almost same.
I took 3 boards which is 5′10 CC/Qwad fish, 6′3 Campbell/3fin Bonzer,and 7′4 Merrick/Mini Gun. total 35lb! JAL charged me $275! for these boards to Denpasar.( give me a brake)
7 hours to Narita, 4 hours of transit at Narita and another 7 hours to Denpasar.
HUMID! arrived there 12:00 mid-night, but so Humid, I got sweaty right-a-way.
I went BALIAN next morning took 1-1/2 hour from KUTA downtown. it’s a country side of Bali, classy.
Waves are super glassy 4ft with 2 other surfers in the morning. Let me try my first Indian Ocean wave.
Do you still remember when you first time riding Bicycle?
My 3rd son Kazuto/He just find how to ride bicycle last weekend at our
parking lot with Daniel’s help. Kazuto/He doesn’t want to try until that day
but now he found out how to GLIDE and LEAN. Maybe he can glide & Lean with surfboard someday?
