So you have stayed in Bali for months now. Ever since you’ve learned how to paddle and pop-up, never a day left without you surfing. Now you’ve got the tan, you’ve spoken surf slangs, and you’ve known by heart every twist and turn of all surf spots on the island; you’ve ridden all breaks and barrels. You can even do the Gangnam-style dance while riding a fast-moving barrel; You surf like a pro now. Or at least you think so. Then perhaps it’s the best time for you to consider joining one of these 5 must “go-to” Bali’s surfing competitions.
First things first: No matter how advanced your surfing skill is, it’d be pretty hard for you to join this competition if you had already left your teenage years because… it is only for the blooming junior athletes (10 to 16 years old). Offering IDR2.000.000-worth voucher for the winner of each series, it’s obvious that this contest is not a gold mine. Rather, Billabong Bloodlines Bali which was formerly known as Billabong Grommet Attack shows the vendor’s commitment to the development of junior surfers skills. If you think you are too old for this event, you can always
come to the beach and watch the next Jim Banks riding waves. So don’t forget to mark your calendar; this years’ series are gonna be held around July-September.
