Libby Stano Locations that come to mind but are rather obvious are Canggu and Kuta. Friendly waves, but obviously also touristy. Not sure about pollution levels.

And just so you know, Indonesia is know as the 'Land of lefts' :-)

Yes, we can see it. Well done!

What stands out to me is that you are catching the wave nicely and then gliding along but you are waiting to het up until you are in the trough of the wave. That's probably the hardest place to do it. Try getting to your feet a bit earlier.

Not quite sure what kind of board you're on but it seems quite pointy. The wave doesn't look very powerful so a slightly bigger board might also help you here.

As to Bali, what are your goals ? I can ask a friend of mine who's been quite recently for tips if you like.

Libby Stano are you sharing it to YouTube from QuickTime? Or are you uploading it to YouTube directly on the youtube website?

There is a video. But it is set to private. If you to to the youtube video you can set it to 'unlisted" instead. That will make it so we can see it but it can't be found in a search.

So you get some sort of error message? Could you share what it says exactly? And how long is the video? If it's a shorter one you might be able to share in directly onto this platform without needing youtube

Insiders is the private one.

So the waves I surf are usually choppy. Not typically this size though. In my case it comes down to being very opportunistic and lowering your expectations.

What I often find where I live is that 80 percent of people are sitting too far outside because they don't want to take a set on the head or feel uncomfortable in the more chaotic sections. It might be worth sitting a bit more inside then you think you need to be. You'll probably end up getting a hell of a duckdive workout though.

I can't really tell from the video so ignore this if it doesn't make sense. Where are you looking when approaching one of the banks? Looking some way above the coping of the banks rather than at the coping has helped me het higher in the past.
