Being away from family at Easter has its pros and cons. Pro – we are away from home because we are in Bali. Con – we missed out on seeing our nieces and nephews smash chocolate eggs for breakfast and run an absolute muck at the family get together. By the way, has anyone in Bali seen the Bunny? He must have been cooped up in customs because I'm still waiting for my own chocolate hit.

While Bill was in the desert chasing big swell last week we were getting our own front in Bali. Friday saw 10 – 12ft sets sweep into Uluwatu with only a handful of guys game enough to take it on. One of these men was Central Coast local Jughead Allport, who made pulling into the sets look like a walk in the park.

As for me, I've been having a ball. I surfed Keramis the other day – just me, one American and 2 local groms. I couldn't believe my luck! I also had a crack around the Canggu area- while the waves weren't epic the banana smoothies certainly were. So far it's been a great trip, I feel like a grom again chasing waves about the island and showing my girl all of my favourite spots.

Check out the boardies from SILathletics Roland slung me a pair to try out on this trip to Bali and they are going great guns!  If you can tell us what colours the MOD board shorts come in you're in the running to win a freebie from SILathletics.

I'll be back on Thursday with a fresh batch of images from Bali.
