I am sitting in a little thatched roof hut writing this to you and the rain is so heavy that there is a constant drip of rain on my shoulder. Should I be worried? I'll just move a little to the left... Thats better. The modern asian experience huh?
Husband and I went surfing at Canguu twice today. The first time I was a little worried - but managed to act cool under pressure and pulled off a few impressive moves in front of an international crowd...
Actually it was just Husband and I and a pommie guy who was down the way a bit. But the point is - I did it! I surfed Canguu. This afternoon was bigger - 6 to 8 foot and I had a go at a gentler break but spent most of the time testing out the strength of my leg rope as I dived for cover under a couple of large sets. After that I hit the beach for a Bintang and watched Husband surf (the good wifey that I am).
Let me just say at this point that the beaches here at Canguu do not compare with what we have at home for beauty and clean water and white sand. The thing is though, there are fantastic waves everywhere you look! And big! And watching these guys surf is a spectacle in itself. You know how good Champagnekate surfs a right hander off the Rock? Well, these guys are almost that good!!
The food is fantastic and the smell is wafting over to me right now, so I will go eat some yummy indo tucker and get back to you another time.
Hope the surf is good with you.

PS - Cant seem to upload photos... will work on it later.
Later: Nuh. It aint gonna do it. You will just have to imagine.
