Watch: Ulus Outside Corner
Never mind the title of this vid as it appears on YouTube; this isn't Racetracks but Uluwatu's Outside Corner. Not huge, though it was the biggest swell of the season so far - it's been a slow start.
If there are any takeaways from the clip, it's to go a bit longer. Leave your 6'0" to eat jaffles in the warung and paddle out on a 6'6", at least. There be no need for dramatic turns, you ain't going vert at OC, but you do want to paddle in early, set a rail amongst the bumps, and hold onto speed without pumping.

Inside corner or Outside racetrack? the quality of surfing at Ulus looks to remain the same anyhow.
Less jaffels and more chia / goji berri kale shakes these days on the Bukit, great for selfies and insta posts though.....

agree with your summary stu; up until the guy on red board at 2:44 they are all seem to be forcing their turns AKA limited rail engagement. Why does small SB equal good SB when it leads to such awkward surfing?
My level at this age and on a big board = fun. Leave the barrelling Padang to those with youth and skills on their side.
You're not going vert at Outside Corner, unless your name is Made Lana
Fixed it for you. :)
He really is something else out there. Particularly those days in between big Racetracks and small OC. Never seen someone so relaxed doing backhand snaps on 6 footers. Beautiful to watch.
Watched him paddle out on a surf school soft board and get full stand up barrels, amazing to watch, so smooth.
Beautiful Style
Good clip, hadn't seen that one, thanks for uploading.
Hard to reconcile that with the shit show that Simba posted in the Bali thread. Most of the waves look like he is out on his own. Beautiful.
Beautiful surfer, great bloke and owns probably the best bar on earth!!
Hard to watch. Not sure why. Maybe because I'm not there...but thats a far cry from the 8ft oiled late arvo spring low glass off sessions I'm used to. Not to mention the barrel dodge at the end followed by a wiggle attempting to be a turn. Bigger boards make such a difference out there but you still want to be able to turn them properly too.
Fella on the red board definitely subscribes to Ombe surf school
hahaha this got me good.
Went to indo for the first time last july and if you’re looking for a surf trip as an intermediate surfer with respect for other surfers and don’t want to snake the shit out of everyone then the bukit isn’t for you. It looks good on paper, the waves were pumping everyday but in reality it was a shit show and you’ll quickly get bored especially after a trip to the ments which you’ll get so many more high quality waves with way less people.
Very nice.
Red board gets the esky!
That is lame corner. Barely breaking
God I miss warm water…
