Beautiful work Supa.
Meagawati smile.
Very clever zen , I had to DuckDuckGo megawati smile to get my answer as I was sort of going whhhaaaat .
I shoulda proofread my post Supa- misspelled Megawati and because you got it done in Indo, Sukarniputri Megawati/Mega watt smile, that's what I feebly attempting to do.
Anyway...
Looks good.
@joshy2000 , did you make it to Bali ? Got a mate hoping to fly out of Bali on Friday, he’s with Batik who normally aren’t as strict when it comes to these situations. https://www.thejakartapost.com/indonesia/2024/11/13/flights-cancelled-to…
Hey Supa, I’m not flying out until Wednesday 20th so hopefully all good by then.
Oh ok , I thought it was yesterday you were arriving , yeah good luck, there’s a few stressed people at the moment with commitments back in oz , I think Garuda and Batik are still flying, possibly because they can go a different route . It’s very hazy looking back at Bali.
Yeah fingers crossed. I’ll be in Nusa Dua just for a week. Winds still looking easterly. Will I have to venture over the other side or is geger stretch still surfable, maybe mornings?
You could get some glassy mornings, had a couple of great sessions there in Sept.
Bugger all wind lately , beautiful glass offs morning and arvo’s , swells tiny today but picking up tomorrow .
Geger was Glassy 4-5 ft First Light Monday Morn .
Yeah nice, I think I’ll just take what’s on offer out front of resort. Expectations in check.
Really poor decision making cost these guys a large part of their lives. All for $10,000 and a holiday. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-23/bali-nine-prisoners-could-return…
Yours look great Supa
Check this veneers prank on Aussie dad. I can’t stop laughing. It’s hard to pick up but one thing dad says “if ya want a job as a backhoe”
Daily belly laugh well and truly had.
@seeds , think I mentioned before a work mate got his done in Phillipines and they fair dinkum looked like horse teeth, had the work team on the ground in fits of laughter when he walked up and smiled.
You’d be pissed off wouldn’t ya. Anyway that clip had me in stitches. Classic old man.
Obviously whole vid a setup even the old man, for YT suckers.
Oh don’t be a downer. They have a number of clips. It’s the dad’s sayings that are funny. And I’m quite sure the first ones weren’t scripted so who knows?
How’s the colour of the water , farking criminal. An excavator screwing around on a certain island recently and brushing some limestone into the sea cost the contractor $20 G . Different rules for some .
I’ve been surfing east coast Bali the last 3 days , today was pumping , double overhead & thick swell although a touch inconsistent at times . Mate sent a photo of the crane at shipwrecks on NL . Last night the boom gave way and fortunately landed north east of the break, south would have been fucked . As it is , the left at shippies that was fun when 3-4 ft on a south swell , has now got a boom sitting in it . The dickhead company that own this crane could have walked it to the beach on low tide when the barge first ran aground . Around Lembongan is supposedly a marine reserve but money talks and the slimy carnts just left a mess behind .
. 
I'm no Bali OG having only first gone there in 07 but it seems like the entire time there's been one drama or another on that reef.
First trip there was a decent sized boat stuck on the reef a bit further down. Following year some other boat in a different spot. Then this crane for a while, can't remember how long. Now its broken which was only a matter of time. What a shit show. In a way the wave itself has been relatively lucky to not be completely blocked a number of times.

According to this post it was a planned operation so maybe they are going to clean it up after all . There’s 52 tonne of counterweights on the rear of crane , that’s no easy task . https://www.facebook.com/100000546818857/posts/pfbid02uD6uwTFmTHwz7u1sR…
I cant make out any people in the video, how can it be planned?
Walking it to the beach is not an option. The photos don't do the size any justice. It would be 100s of tons of metal. Not a cheap job to get there, cut it up and put on a barge to take to scrap.
@ron , apparently there’s been a team of indo’s working on it all week , I did see 6 guys crawling around in it a few weeks ago , thought they were just kids playing . They were initially , a few years ago , when they cut the barge up , walking the pieces back to the beach . You couldn’t get a barge in close enough for a crane to lift pieces onto a barge , you also run the risk of shipwrecking another barge and tugs . On the big low tides you could have walked ( tracked ) the crane to the beach when it was still operational . A big swell put a few waves through the engine compartment and that was the end of that . There are 5 counterweights , 4 weighing 10t each the 5th weighing 12t . The amount of gas to cut that up would be huge. I’ve seen 6 fishing boats from the same fleet get stuck one by one as they came to each other’s aid . These weren’t small boats, around 40 meters in length . Only in indo .
That barge was cut up from around and under the crane along with all the other crap .
These are 3 of about 20 photos I took a few years ago .

Nice pics, thanks!
Crazy! The $ and motivation to get it there must be so much more than removing. Just no pay off unless threatened with fines i guess.
In about 08 the boat/ship i saw stuck up the reef a bit looked huge! Like a 5 story building. Might have pics somewhere, will add if i come across them. They must have managed to refloat on high tide. It was too big to dismantle on site.
not the Taiwanese fishing boat off Padang @ron? that was epic.. like the politician sinking/'whisky galore', ikan bakar style..
The original wreck from 1967 according to klungkung records . Terry Fitzgerald and a few others went there in 74 , photos by Dick Hoole that featured in tracks magazine . Other photos are late 70s and early 80s . It slowly got cut up and used for whatever . The guy that had the contract originally to remove current wreck died and locals believe it’s cursed and don’t want to know about it . Javanese crew currently are working on it but locals I’ve spoken to , don’t really know what the overall plan is .
Tragedy in Ubud monkey forest today. Unconfirmed reports of 2 dead . There’s been a ton of rain last few days .
. https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/two-tourists-re…Wow. That's fucking crazy.
New attraction at Ulu’s
Oh no, that wouldn’t be climate change ,would it?
Eye roll!!
Can’t wait till the cull in the New Year.
man made change
Environmental irresponsible governments!
Yeah right, keep it lame ,
Don’t think there’s a lot to miss TBH
Comparatively speaking,
So grim. Must be hard to an older Balinese person trying to make sense of what's happened over the last 50 years.
Climate change ? Yeah it never rains in Bali during wet season .
Bali in the wet season, would someone please close the door, I can feel a daft !!!
I see our exxotix meteorologist is on duty at the Met this evening. Fair dinkum,
It Never Rains In Southern Phillipines !!!!!. AW
Did you happen to notice
@dandans clip?
Or are you so full of one eyed bigotry
that it didn’t even occur to you to
insult him as well ?
Blatant bigotry 101 , yet again
Jeffy old boy , it floods in Bali every year, they do such a poor job on drainage with their road construction. The west coast beaches are currently a huge mess with garbage several feet deep. What I saw in dan dan dans clip was garbage and poor drainage . Do you think I should’ve insulted him for that ? You really need to see someone about your delusional thinking . TDS has a hold and is effecting basic thought .
Jeffrey Boy
No bigger tree here fella.
See down below, your exact words. What’s Dandan got to do with it ?
It’s the bloody wet season you goof, of course it’s raining .

Only 8 more days. Phew ! AW
@AW
You are a complete and utter disaster
Did you view @ Dandans clip ?
If you didn’t, you are mouthing off in
Prejudiced ignorance again.
If a wet season is unprecedentedly wet
Then that is not normal,
I know it’s hard for you to make that
distinction.
If you want to stand up for climate change denialism, I’m not interested in that really old argument.
And if climate change isn’t allowed to be mentioned, you are very special,
aren’t you.
If Jeffy was president.
December last year & January, February this year was not your normal wet season , not as much rain as the previous 3 years , kuta’s roads still managed to flood however. That water fall at Ulu’s is from an existing creek, which has had with all the construction out there , more run off water diverted to that creek . All the rice paddies that were once in kuta , legian , seminjak and canggu , are now villas, shops etc etc , the water had somewhere to go back then but now is funneled into the roads with poor drainage so obviously it’s going to flood . Best thing about the rice paddies in those areas before , was the water running off them into the ocean , created unreal v banks, these days it’s one big close out .
As soon as it rains climate change zombies like erotic Geoff scream and moan.
It’s just rain champ.
Seems pretty normal wet season in Bali.
Was like that with maybe a little less garbage back in 90's early 00's without the pics on social media.
Have seen the water rushing down out of ulu cave like that waterfall. No surfing that day!
Not saying climate change isn't real, but wet season in Bali that's pretty biasa.
And the ulu road development is fooked.
