Looks a little chilled as always, maybe around 25°C.. That's the 26°C contour circling the region.

You poor spoilt bastards having to endure sub 26-degree water temps. You must need a 4/3 for that.

Waters warm. Only boardies needed if you don't want reef or sun protection. Solid again this morning. Surfed real early on a shorter board, caught inside before I got one, lost my board, flogged coming across Speedies. No sign of board in lagoon. Ran up towards Bobby's thinking maybe went straight in. Kiwi bros at Jawa Jiwa were sipping tea and told me my board went the other way. Ran to boat channel, no sign if it, kept going, few locals having a fire in the shade signalled to stop. Five minutes later boat came up from 20/20s. Smiling fisho with my board. Need to go back and pay him now.

Feet are a mess. Gonna head up to Jawa Jiwa say g'day then wait for late sesh.

IslandBay. Hi mate. Loving your updates.
Supa and I got to Lances Right at 12.00 today, lunch and straight into the juice, clean, hardly a puff of wind, 4-5ft odd bigger one, nice little introduction, water and air temperature is very warm compared to Lembongan. All the best AW&SF.

How’s the crowd AW? Still feel like Lances is a box I need to tick…only surfed it as a pit stop crumbly 4ft hoping the wind would switch, never did.

Totally wrecked myself yesty morning LD. Adrenal gland a dried up husk, arms sore from swimming, legs sore from running. So out of sorts I worried I was getting the lurgy. Slept 12 hrs, woke fresh, surfed a few hours mid-norning today with bugger all punters around and heading out again now.

I've suggested to friends way shinier than me, ones that do yoga, the best gift Gerry will have left when he departs, via GLand, is that you do yoga so that you can do something awesome more effectively.. yoga is not an end any more than leggings are actual pants.
