I took this walking down the staircase to Uluwatu. This was my first glimpse of Uluz with trade winds in the 2011 season.
I shot this from the cliff warungs of Uluwatu. This day was one of the better early season days at Uluz. There were only ten guys out at the Racetrack, which is almost unheard of these days.
Sitting on the cliffs at Uluwatu, you can easily see who's good
and who isn't. Nate Yeomans at the Racetrack, Uluwatu Bali.

This is a French film-maker I met named Wayanzinho Hugues Oyarzabal, which could be one of the hardest names to pronounce for an American who has trouble pronouncing "car" or "chowder."
The locals on Bali seem to get better every time I visit. Agust Broww (Blackie) pulling in at the main peak, Uluwatu.
While in search of empty waves on an overly crowded island, I ran into probably the best pieces of real estate on the island. South end of the Bukit, Bali.
Even the girls surf better than you in paradise. LeAnn Curren dropping into the track. Racetrack, Uluwatu Bali
Park benches look way cooler in Asia than they do back home. Tanjung Benoa, Bali.
