Wends and I are in Sengigi for a night before we head over to the Gili islands tomorrow for a bit of R&R. We only planned to make the trip up here tomorrow, but since we were unable to surf today we thought we might as well get the mileage done a day early.
With our surfing careers skyrocketing in spectacular fashion, with the inevitable lucrative sponsorship deals on the imminent horizon, we have both unfortunately been sidelined by injury. Wends managed to "sit on too many books" (her ass is well red...), getting a touch sunburned while lying on her board (that's what you get for perving over the surfer boys instead of catching waves Wooz!).
I myself got thumped by a tsunami and re-tore an old shoulder injury (sustained while snowboarding in the 2002 Winter Olympics, or thereabouts) and stubbornly refused to get out of the water and made a right mess of myself as a result.
Besides the injuries, the surfing in Kuta was a lot of fun. The area around there is really picturesque and as the surf breaks are offshore we had to hire a fishing boat to take us out each day, which adds to it all. We also had a surfing guide/coach in the form of Mole - a legendary youngster from the surf shop in town. We may even decide to head back down there after the Gili's.
I would love to include a photo or two here but I'm waiting till Wends drops her guard and I can snap a photo of her on her new motorbike. She managed to hire a bright pink one and its quite a sight when the bright pink surfboard is attached! Only Wooz...
