After trying in vain to find a good surf spot away from the crowds of Kuta, M. and I gave in and settled in Legian (a stone throw away from Kuta) for a few days. Walking the Aussie-crowded streets looking for a cheap hotel didn't much endear us to the place, but our first sight of the beach and the great surfing waves quickly changed our minds.
We rented surfboards for four days, today being the first. This morning we got our first taste of the waves, and they seemed to be a lot bigger than we experienced in Hawaii. I had trouble standing up on my board, which was smaller and a lot slipperier than the ones we used in Waikiki. Still, we persevered and this afternoon we were a lot more successful! Hopefully we will keep getting better and we'll leave Legian surfing professionals... :)
