Good evening viewers,heading to Bali in mid october probably heading up to Balian area to escape the crowds and wondering if its worth packing a kite as well for that time of year,taking two boards to surf and will pack kite if theres a good chance of wind,haven't been back to Bali since 1987 so not sure how good it is on the kiting front,not really interested in kiting flat water,not against it just that I'm a surfer and ****house on a twin tip.
Cheers

Bali is a s***hole
Is that in regard to kiting there or Bali in general.I know a lot of people wouldn't go back and Ive been one of them but opportunity arose so its Bali in October I also know a lot of people who love the place.I know what the surfs like and the crowds but not what its like for kiting.
That late in the season the chances are slim to have some decent wind in Bali. You might want to head over to Sumbawa (Lakeys) if you have the time and opportunity?

In general
Thanks doesn't seem worth taking kite gear by the response or lack of-just go surfing ,thought it might be a goer for both

Get yer head outta your ass. Bali, like most places is what you make of it.

You must live in a dump mate if you find anything of it. Rubbish littered, brown water and filthy people.
Let's face it, you get what you pay for in life and Bali is no different. It's far from the cleanest place (even the other parts of the island are dirty), the locals have become greedier and the bogans and Russians have gotten worse.
However, the great news is there's another 18,000 Indonesian islands to explore. The possibilities are endless.

Filth is the sh!t that comes out of your mouth tosser!
take it easy you peanut
Yes Bali can be dirty in parts but the surf is still as good as ever so it is still worth visiting.
I'm guessing if Haydn has even been there he hasn't ventured far from Kuta.
I wouldn't bother with a kite in October though.

U need to get out more mate. and u should probably get to know a few more Balinese before you slang off like that.
and for what its worth, i currently live on a 50 foot cat near Roti, and had 20 knots all arvo, so yeah... Bit of a dump i guess...

Jeez Haydynnn. Mate , you have a lot of growing up to do , mate. It will come young fella , I am sure , but not yet it seems.
I guess you think you have a right to your opinion but in years to come you might realise you have stepped over the line when giving your opinion about something you clearly have no basis of information except maybe a couple of places in Indo . Show some respect fella.
You just continue to stay in your narrow world and don't bother with any of the great places we visit and enjoy , including the people who you have just verballed from your little hidey hole wherever you are.
Tone. hope you have some great wind and waves . Enjoy the reward of years of bloody hard work . This bloke is not worth the time.

Ricardo1709. Sorry the thread has gone this way. There is plenty of good advice out there . Or contact Jankie . If you bring gear think big I guess .
Just the truth fella
I've travelled all over the world, I know what is good and what is sh**
Enjoy your 12knots today
Have stayed at Balian twice have had good wave kites there with 10 m ' last time 4 days out of 5 the food is great and also Villas but I went mid August so not sure on October ,as above check with Jankie
yeah Ricardo, sorry about the divergence 
oct is a waste of time for kiting Bali mate, although possibly something at the gilis, as they get some southerly winds late in the season. otherwise may be worth contacting the dude from Bangsring breeze if you are up for the extra travel?
Haydn - hope all goes well on your future travels.............
apex predator.... bah!
Morgs.....soon mate!
I love it when I hear how sh1t people think Bali is and all the I'll never go back-ers.. The less of these types going back, the better really
How is it for the better though? You just end up with more and more bogans and another 10 seasons of What happens in Bali. Suppose it means those who are prepared to travel a bit more can visit Lombok, Kalimantan, Komodo, Sumatra etc in relative peace and quiet.
There's problem a dozen "other" Mentawi's that no ones ever come across yet 
But just quietly, avoid Bintan and Batam. Theres a week of my life i'll never get back!

I guess it's the less people going back part that appeals to me.
Over the years there you learn to not notice so much. Deal with or avoid the bad stuff. Accept there's some sketchy stuff and still enjoy the benefits. The good things tend to stand out in the end.
Everyone's different but I just think of the bukit peninsula this time o year and I wouldn't mind waking up on that stretch today. Banana pancakes and a few backside barrels sounds alright to me.
Unfortunately there's only 1 mentawais but that's another story altogether. I thought this thread was about Bali..

... what,, you mean this piece of crap,,,,, looks a bit like leaky dump to me
very little wind in October in Bali.
You can go to Gili and North West Bali, strong wind but only flattish water.
Ciao Jankie

... snap!!!!! My guess is that Haydn24 is bullsh!tting about his worldly travel's!! Maybe his/her mum didn't teach him/her, better to be thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt!
