It's been a while. I've been working on many of the different aspects of the business here in Bali, I realized it had been almost a week since my last dip. One of my favorite breaks here is found on Serangen Island, just south of the tourist enclave of Sanur, on Bali's eastern coastline. Now, seeing as it is supposed to also be the off season for the wave due to the shifting trade and westerly winds there were surprisingly few people out on the water. The other reason attributed to the fact that it was low tide and this reef break at low tide gets real shallow. Make a mistake and it's burger meat for lunch! The waves were not particularly huge, small offerings really in comparison to this last couple of weeks where incredible swells have been enjoyed by many throughout Bali.
Hitting the water at 7.10am I was able to take it easy waiting for the first swell set, it rolled in, liquid thunder to the reef. It's so impressive to see such a large body of water standing up, only for it to crashing down around your ears, the noise is incredible, the awesomeness of nature combined in a pure and very real display of power and grace.
I managed a couple of hours in the soup. Happy to take that time to relate to the things going on in my life right now. Able to place things into context and seek answers.
This shot was taken with a Canon EOS 500D in a Liquid Eye surf housing. I used a 60mm f2.8 prime lens which on this cropped sensor (factor of 1.6) means this acts more like a 96mm prime, if one existed.
Until more liquid adventures,
