The old adage goes “the early bird catches the worm“ – and that was certainly the case for our intermediate surfers this morning who were paddling out at Uluwatu as soon as the first chinks of daylight pierced the horizon. The waves had cleaned up a little since yesterday but still retained some of their size on the sets, which were mixed with smaller runners in between. Luckily, when you have the lineup to yourself and your friends you can pick and choose which waves to paddle for and everyone found plenty of what they were looking for, whether that was a long wall to practice their backside pumping or pushing their limits on progressively bigger waves.
