Hey guys!! Thank you for all of your stories/experiences…Due to such a huge volume of feedback on this episode, I can't respond to everyone!! Thanks as always for the support!!
Some politics should be in jail
never again-
Once an island is destroyed like bali and the core crowd of tourists who care about the island will dissaper, the government will focus on chinese market . They wont give a fuck about any waves
Enough is enough. People please get together and protest against these outrageous developments. They are destroying the unique "navel of the world" and "Land of the Gods" Bali. Such shameful and destructive use of the land, forever detracting from its beauty and never able to be restored. We need a worldwide protest and World Heritage Protection order to try and stop this destruction from continuing..
They are dumbing the limestone in the sea atm. 😳
There was a dirt road to Salt Creek. You had to park and walk across PCH. Now there’s the Ritz Carlton and expensive homes amongst the massively paved parking lot. There was a spot called Killers 75 years ago now it’s the stinky Dana Point harbor.
Typical indo all about the money ….the roads are terrible and its too crowded….
If you want to know, all you need to do is look what happened to Madeira.
Cool clip bro .. a sign of the times … Walked the track back in 1977 ..
When we travelled to Bali to surf as well as Nias,GLand their were only a handfull of surfers in fact i had Padang Padang to myself,the waves were perfect with easterlies blowing for days,the only thing i knew to really bring which is important was Coral cut cream,tweezers,bandages and alcohol wash,the reason being if you were cut badly there was no medics there and serious wounds would mean you go back to Australia,also Jim Banks a hot surfer surfed many waves on his own all over Bali and his boards he made were fantastic.
Great breakdown.
Full of digital nomads,,vloggers,,,,millions of cattle flying in and out,,,,as if i need to see all there vids and pics.
To sad to comment i wish surfing was not popular like in the 70s please everyone take up roller blading😊
A decade in Bali has taught me, for sure there`s commercial interest in it, and you can only wait for the shops, villas etc. to pop up along this road.
Tear down a cliff to stabilize it – of course. As if a few steel rods in that crack would have not done the job….
It`s not only Ulus, it`s the whole island, but in the Bukit, it`s a different level of madness. No water, but Nyang Nyang, till Nusa Dua, basically all cliff front is getting build up.
Just look at Green Bowl, Pandawa, Gunung Payung, horrible.
Hi Dan , it makes Phillip island a blessing…. Such an interesting take on uluwatu really enjoyed the back story to the current situation… l was there in 1982 the change is phenomenal for all the wrong reasons… thank you
once the ultimate seductress, Bali is now a bed ridden dried up kupu kupu malam, incurable…..
Man sees the beauty.
Other man sees a good place for a sea wall 😢
The only thing I can think of is. That the cliff has been a wall like structure. Dropping rocks off for ever. Maybe the sea wall will not be as tragic as every other man made structure by the ocean.😏
Talk about killing the golden goose. No one's going to want to go there to stay in those big buildings if there is no surf. Stupid.
There wasn't that much going on… just a millenary culture that's like a thousand years old 😅 Bali was not created by surfers, mate. The place has incredible history and culture.
overrun shit hole
Don't think I'll be going back! Spent six weeks, in the late 80s, surfing Ulu (most days in my own). My secret? Off season, September, getting up early, driving out from Kuta before 5am, weaving thru the village morning markets, paddling out as dawn breaks. Thence back to town, surfed out, for second breakfast and sleep.
Bali is being trashed by development at hyperspeed.
In the 70's Bali was the end of the Hippy Trail
This is gonna be mind blowing to hear but Haole ruin everything. Littrally everything. This is another prime example of colonization.
Looks shit, I won't bother.
