Uluwatu was definitely my favourite wave because it was not only extraordinary to surf but it was amazing to watch as well. The Uluwatu caf\u00e9 had the best food ever! I was satisfied eating there for a week, and the grilled mahi-mahi was the best fish, if not the best meal, I\u2019ve ever had in my life!

It was ridiculous how crowded it was, you could barely walk on the beach for the people. I managed to get run over twice but luckily only by foamies. It was fun though. After that we went on the search. It\u2019s always nice to surf where it\u2019s quiet. Where swell dropped a bit I really enjoyed surfing Nyang-Nyangs. Crystal clear water, sunny, super hot and nobody there. Surfing with only three other people is brilliant because you get any wave you want and nobody drops in on you and you don\u2019t have to weave in and out of everyone. There\u2019s always a downside to quiet places though and Nyang-Nyangs has a big downside. 500 steps to the beach! Walking down was okay, but walking up after a three hour surf isn\u2019t fun. Especially in the scorching hot sun trying to not get your stuff nicked by the monkeys!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33767\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carvemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/finn-collins002.jpg\" alt=\"finn-collins002\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>In between surfs we went to see a bit of culture while we were there.<\/b> We went up to the Uluwatu temple, which overlooks the break.

We had a great room and hospitality there and I would definitely recommend it and will go back for sure. Being able to walk 100 meters to the break without a worry in the world is extraordinary. We scored some good waves in Balian and also managed to get a surf in at Medewi that was sick. The scariest moment of the holiday was definitely sitting in the water at Balian and just watching a shark jump out the water about 100m out. About 10 seconds later I went to put my hand in the water to paddle and all I saw was a giant fish swim right past me. It was about two metres long and I wasn\u2019t sure what it was but at that point I was petrified after seeing a shark jump out and I paddled as fast as I could straight up the beach! I told my dad what happened and was telling me to stop lying! I don\u2019t think he has seen Sharknado\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Medewi was great because it was such an easy wave but still had a bit of power and a long wall to it that went on for 300 meters. I had the best wave of my life so far there. It just went on for so long that I couldn\u2019t even feel my legs by the end of it. I was super stoked just with that one wave and didn\u2019t even care about anything else. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The downside to Balian is that the water isn\u2019t always clean and can be brown a lot of the time (dependant on what time of year you go) due to the river mouth running down from the mountains washing everything down with it. When this happens it doesn\u2019t smell too good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33764\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carvemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/finn-collins005.jpg\" alt=\"finn-collins005\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>My absolute favourite moment of the whole trip was competing in the Rip Curl Grom Search against all of the groms from Indonesia. <\/b>It was inspiring to watch them all frothing over two foot closeouts and getting super stoked to get a free t-shirt. Competing against them was a memorable event that will last a life time. The standard was amazing. I was so happy when they said I got through my first heat. I eventually made it to the quarter finals but I was still over the moon because I wasn\u2019t really expecting to get anywhere after watching the quality of surfing that was going on in the competition.
