. Esta praia na PenĂnsula de Bukit, em Bali, IndonĂ©sia, estava quase deserta durante toda a manhĂŁ do dia 23/4. O swell era pequeno, mas as condições super cinematográficas definitivamente compensavam isso. Assista abaixo Surf em Bali Bali Ă© o paraĂso dos surfistas desde os anos 1930. Bali deve estar na lista de surf trips de todos os surfistas, seja vocĂŞ um iniciante procurando sua primeira aula de surfe; um surfista habilidoso que espera ser bombardeado em um dos locais lendários de Bali ou um profissional que deseja testar suas habilidades de tubo nas ondas mais perfeitas do mundo. O surf Ă© uma das principais atrações de Bali há dĂ©cadas. E Kuta Ă© onde tudo começou. O primeiro surfista em Bali, e portanto na IndonĂ©sia, foi o expatriado americano Robert Koke, em 1938. Veja tambĂ©m + Josh Kerr de biquilha na IndonĂ©sia + Metal Neck surf e skate na IndonĂ©sia Enquanto trabalhava como fotĂłgrafo, aprendeu a surfar no HavaĂ. Ele veio a Bali pela primeira vez em 1936 com sua esposa, Louise, e se apaixonou pelo lugar. Mais tarde, eles decidiram retornar e se estabelecer. Eles construĂram um hotel Ă beira do surfe na Praia de Kuta, que deu inĂcio a esse desenvolvimento incrĂvel ao longo de mais de 8 dĂ©cadas. Eles o chamaram de Kuta Beach Hotel. Em dezembro de 1938, ele recebeu algumas pranchas de surfe estilo Waikiki que encomendou dos Estados Unidos e, segundo consta, pegou as primeiras ondas. Koke foi citado em um artigo na revista Fortune “Um dia, quando estávamos explorando a ilha em nossas bicicletas alugadas, pedalamos por um coqueiral e chegamos Ă praia mais bonita do mundo ondas claras, lambendo quilĂ´metros de areia branca, com franjas de palmas, e nenhum vestĂgio de habitação humana atĂ© onde a vista alcança.” O surf – bom saber SĂŁo muitos os pontos maravilhosos, no local com a vista mais mágica para o surfe chamado Uluwatu. Uma das praias com acesso mais fácil Ă© a Praia de Suluban. VocĂŞ precisa descer escadas passando pelos moradores e cafĂ©s locais antes de chegar na praia. É uma praia pequena, mas bonita, rochosa, com uma vista maravilhosa do pĂ´r do sol. Tem cinco ondas famosas chamadas The Peak, Bombie, Temple, Racetracks e The Outside Corner. Esses pontos sĂŁo todos quebrados no recife com seções de variações que mudam com o tamanho do swell tambĂ©m. Recomendado para surfistas experientes. O fundo do mar Ă© um fundo de recife muito acentuado. A melhor Ă©poca para surfar Ă© na estação seca, geralmente entre maio a setembro de cada ano. A praia mais famosa de Bali, e considerada como o lugar onde todo o turismo de Bali começou. A longa extensĂŁo de areia branca proporciona um belo litoral e um fundo seguro para surfistas de todos os nĂveis. Absolutamente perfeito para iniciantes aprenderem a surfar. Escolas de surf, aluguel de pranchas e lojas de surf sĂŁo facilmente encontradas em qualquer lugar em Kuta. É um beach break com direção direita e esquerda, adequado para qualquer formato ou tamanho de prancha que vocĂŞ desejar! O fundo do mar Ă© arenoso, sendo a marĂ© mĂ©dia a alta a melhor para a prática do surf. No entanto, a praia pode estar suja Ă s vezes, especialmente depois de uma grande chuva durante a estação chuvosa. Canggu Ă© na verdade uma área com várias praias, incluindo Berawa, Nelayan e, claro, Batu Bolong, todas cada vez mais populares entre os visitantes. A praia mais famosa da regiĂŁo Ă© a Praia do Eco, um pequeno trecho de areia preta popular entre os surfistas. Este spot tem uma variedade incrĂvel de ondas em uma pequena área, que sĂŁo adequadas para surfistas de nĂvel intermediário, mas tambĂ©m sĂŁo populares entre os visitantes e profissionais locais. Existem pelo menos 6 tipos de ondas com os nomes dos cafĂ©s locais prĂłximos em Canggu, que sĂŁo Old Man’s, The Sandbar, Echo Beach, Pererenan, Canggu tambĂ©m conhecido como River Mouth e Batu Bolong. Principalmente todos sĂŁo quebra de recife. Durante a alta temporada dezembro e julho, espere uma praia lotada e algum lixo. Surfistas iniciantes sĂŁo aconselhados a ingressar em algumas escolas de surf em Canggu, algumas sĂŁo bem instruĂdas por professores falados em inglĂŞs, russo, alemĂŁo e francĂŞs.

The Indonesia surfing competition scene has been steadily progressing with well-deserved recognition for both its world class waves and beaches coupled with amazing surfing talent. Surfing is expected to grow exponentially after its inclusion in the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020, where Rio Waida represented Indonesia on the world stage as one of 40 surfers to participate. Indonesia has the 3rd longest coastline in the world and was recently named as the most beautiful country by Time Out magazine. Some of the top 5 global surfing spots are located in Indonesia, but there are many under-exposed surfing spots that could be potentially attractive and able to generate local economies. The Vans Bali Pro presented by East Ventures and the Liga Surfing Indonesia 2021 Grand Final have been organized by the Asian Surf Cooperative ASC, a professional surfing organization with 16 years of experience in organizing, managing and supporting surfing events around the Asian region.

We hope our support is beneficial to the overall growth of surfing activities in the region, and we look forward to many more exciting events ahead,” said Willson Cuaca, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of East Ventures.

East Ventures’ Surfing Analogy Surfing as a sport shares a similar philosophy as the early-stage investment decision process. To choose the best wave or the best investment, you need to look ahead and be ready before the wave or trend emerges. When the wave is right in front of you, it is usually too late. Tipi Jabrik, Chief Executive Officer of the Asian Surf Cooperative, commented “We are glad to receive this support from East Ventures, where it will further accelerate our mission in creating a pathway for Asian surfers, especially surfers in Indonesia to compete against each other and across regions. Through our extensive experience in managing surfing events, we are looking forward to making Asian surfing even greater.” *** About East Ventures East Ventures is a pioneering and leading sector-agnostic venture capital firm in Indonesia.

Bali is preparing to welcome surfers from all over the world ahead of the 16th annual Padang Padang Rip Curl Cup. The event has had to be put on hold for the last two years due to the pandemic. Organizers have shared their excitement as they get the final preparations in place. Trials for the competition are being held throughout July, with the main event happening throughout August 2022. The event spans the month since the Rip Curl team will be keeping a close eye on the coastal conditions to ensure that the world-renowned event and world-class surfers have only the best conditions to compete. The competition is open to international competitors and prioritizes places for local surfing legends. There are 32 confirmed local invitees, many of whom have been waiting in eager anticipation for the event to return. The event is hosted by surf company Rip Curl with sponsorship partners Island Brewing, Anantara Uluwatu Resort, Bali Belly, BizNet, Asian Surf Co, Cliff House, Samudera Sports, and WSL. Padang Padang Beach can be found in South Kuta, Uluwatu. The beach is known for having some of the best surf conditions in Bali and has been the favorite hangout of international surfers for decades. The World Surf League WSL spoke with local reporters in Bali to share their relief at the event’s return. WSL is very excited to welcome this year’s Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang in Indonesia. We are very pleased to be working with Rip Curl on this special event in 2022’ said WSL Asia Pacific manager Ty Sorati. The competition’s director James Hendy said Being able to watch the world’s best tube riders face off against Indonesia’s best talent in Bali after two years of absence is something we all dream of’. He went on to say that We thank the local surfing community and the local government for allowing this tradition to continue and look forward to seeing everyone come to the opening of this event at Padang Padang Beach on Sunday, July 31’. The format for the event has changed since the last competition in 2019. The event will see the eight top surfers with the highest total heat scores progress to the finals in August. Those eight surfers will be joined by the surfer with the highest overall heat total from two combined waves scores to process to the main competition that will be held during the best waves in August. Organizers and the surfing community are celebrating the appearance of Tanian Angel Izquierdo on the lineup as the only female competitor from Indonesia. She told the media Since I was little, I always come to the Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang event to witness and feel how special and magical this event is..when I got the invitation to surf in this year’s trials competition, I felt so amazed, honored and grateful…To be the only Indonesian female surfer to compete against some of my favorite surfers and not just at a regular surf spot but at Padang Padang?! Wow, really a dream come true’. The return of one of Bali’s most prestigious surfing competitions comes as the island is also celebrating its winning bid to host the World Beach Games in 2023. The Chair of Indonesia’s Olympic Committee, Raja Sapta Oktohari confirmed that Indonesia had won the bid to host the event from the Olympic committee last week.
