I have been to so many places to paddle but Bali still blows the mind. Actually as soon as I arrived in Bali I started to feel like everywhere I’ve been for surfing couldn’t really compare with this island. The amount of world class spots per kilometre is simply incredible. Clearly, this is the island of Gods! The only problem I had during this trip had been choosing a place to surf and stay for a few days. With so many option, I couldn’t stay still. So we set off on a journey to try to explore as many surf spots and cool beaches around Bali and the neighbouring islands as we could. Our luggage was so heavy though that I would have never been able to make it to a month of island hopping through the Indonesian archipelago with such a bag with me. At a certain point in my trip I became almost ashamed of showing up with that monster bag at bus stations, taxi drivers, boat captains. Everywhere I went I was always the one with the bulkiest and heaviest piece of luggage. That was until the moment I saw Ollie arriving with his uber-monster set of board bags.
Clearly, this time we totally forgot the “travel lighter, go further” principle but it was for a good reason: we were there to test the whole Hypernut range for 2019 and a few selected models of the Pro range.
