Anyone know the story with the road at the bottom? Will it become a huge scooter parking lot with people jumping off to surf?

Looking forward to footage from the first huge swell.

Is this prior to placing the more structure? Looks like the height might be undercooked with that much wash over on an average day.

Yep, for Made Lana to make a comment saying stop and the way he did it means this must stop.
Lana one of the nicest blokes you could meet who has shared his waves for decades.
Ulu's could have such a different vibe (maybe looking back in time) if the local boys were not so cool.
Try that shit at Sanur.. haha

what did the surfers say on socials? I assume kipp c was one of them, and copped a break with google caps not getting the accent..?

That's good news, and well expressed too.

However....why do I get a sense that they're just going to move their biz model to another stretch of coast?

Great work.
That was a pretty stern warning from old mate, definitely one you'd want to heed.

Decided to surf Balangan today—figured we’d dodge the JetSki at Ulu. But guess what? The rodeo came to us. Yep, Pro Bros rolled up with the ski… for 4ft Balangan. Must’ve felt like 20ft in their dreams.

No clue who they are for sure yet, . So CALL THEM OUT !!! but hey—Balangan’s a paddle zone, not your stunt show

One more thing: some locals here spearfish. And they don’t miss.

Last warning !!! NO JET SKI ON THE LINE UP!!! You really don’t want to test our patience. RESPECT THE LINE UP, RESPECT THE LOCAL!! ...."

More the question of. Who are these customers demanding this ski service?

I don’t know who is worse, customer or the service provider. I say both. Piss those things off for good.
In a way I don’t blame them.
Look here in Oz, Fanning, Parkinson and many other crew do exactly the same thing. Public nuisance. AW

Sounds like old mate Dalton will be blacklisted from indo pretty soon. Gotta wonder about some of these Bules, stupidity, arrogance and money are a bad combination.

"From our anchorage in Padang Padang we have immediate water-based access to literally every wave in southern Bali within seconds or minutes. Even ‘far away’ breaks that would take hours by car are less than half an hour on the water.

To demonstrate:

TIME FROM THE SHIP ON A JET SKI
Uluwatu 15 seconds
Padang Padang 10 seconds
Bingin 15 seconds
Dreamland 20 seconds
Balangan 30 seconds
Kuta Reef 9 minutes
Seminyak 15 minutes
Canggu 20 minutes
Nusa Dua 25 minutes"

Indonesia is the perfect place to reinvent yourself, as anyone who's spent time there knows. Each outpost is crawling with people of interesting backstory who are giving life another roll.

Looks to me like Dalton is just another in a long line of people using Indo as backdrop for their second act. Appears to be onto his social media game - extremely active and has a strategy. Give free trips/lifts to every opportunist with an IG following: Medina, Von Rupp, Abberton, Irons, etc etc etc then let them do the media for you, throwing online shakas and you-da-mans.

Gonna watch this one closely. See where he pops up next, and also see who else will copy his floating warung biz model. The foundations for an absolute shitshow lie there.
