8 Feet Perfect Balangan (Average Joe's Scoring) - RAWFILES- 11/JUN/2024 4K

Coming into a neat tide, high low-tide in the morning gave a good amount of time to surf Balangan this day. Strong offshore during the day might made some takeoff tricky, but the lucky ones they manage to paddle into some bigger setwaves ,got the reward in a form of big open walls on the endsection!
Thanks for watching!

I remember paddling out on at a break and I was being taking away by the current really bad. The pier that I jumped off of was a quarter mile away from me after my first wave. Then it had to be 1/2 mile after my second wave. So I got out of the water, ran up to PCH and there was a bus with nobody on it. I didn't have any money and I told the driver what was going on, and she said, "hop in". So I went 2 miles past my car and got off. Then I paddled out and was catching lefts all morning until I got near the pier, where I allowed myself to drift under and caught my last wave in. On my way in I saw a boogie boarder who didn't have his leash on and lost his board. He had a terrified look about him. So we both held onto my board and allowed the whitewash to bring us to the beach. He asked for my number and his parents called to thank me. I heard many people died from the current that weekend

[@starmania909]

the day i scored it like that no one had a big enough board and they were all lining up too deep i lined up w the road and was getting rides to the temple all after noon solo!!! on my ---- 7'4" ben apia blue hawaii!----

[@kevingleed2928]

Another classic indo wave without a doubt those first few waves steamed through from right outside

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks for watching Kevin! Yeah ,sometimes i think, balangan is the most underrated wave in the Bukit. But dont tell anyone :D

Guy at 1:00 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@tomvertz5875]

You must mean average kooks!

[@nicholaskiefer1689]

Good ol’ Balangan. That whole coast is like a wave playground. Every spot catches that left-breaking swell - like a disjointed point break… dreamy. And waves to go around when it’s pumping like that. 🤙

[@richardrich8010]

Kind of waves you dream about👍👍👍🤙

Thanks Claudio ,glad you enjoyed it!

[@kirkkester204]

So what makes a average Joe a guy with no sponser or stickers who surfs for the fun of it imagine that surfing just for the fun of it oh no how boring we got to score and compete

[@newschool2]

😂😂😂 average joes don’t go out in 8ft balangalangalan 😂😂😂

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha fair enough,but you get the point, no pros : )

[@EddieSimmons-cq7yb]

Lovely footage, always been a special place , we had it as a go to break to get away from the crowds.Was easy as no roads lead there, you just had to learn the turnoffs In 94 we had to ourselves, [3] ha ha, ,one week was epic 6ft + glass, next day just huge and strong off shores, super late face drops, and were sitting way way out past the headland, could watch dreamland breaking, water was cold even. Listen over 10-12 ft and it breaks even better with the end section totally makable Best part is the photos on the wall, memories of no crowds and Ketuts little hut built in the southern corner, Jaffels , cold Bintang and his wife would come and cook dinner every night.

[@banzospod]

in 94 we may have crossed paths,i was more or less living in bali then and bellas was my escape location.

[@SVKrillemall]

when I checked out balangan for the only time it wasn't lining up, just unmakable sections. Is that because the tide was low that day or is it more to do with the swell angle?

[@daninaylor5305]

It's almost always a shit wave either breaks too fast and shuts down or is a slopey boring waste of time ,pretty much a poor man's Impossibles.

[@streamingeagle1]

how many mintues do you need to paddle out to catch those waves? and if your leash breaks, how many minutes do you need to swim battling the white water? looks brutal

[@SurfRawFiles]

In high tide there is a keyhole on the end of the beach,if you time it well almost dry hair paddle out! In low tide it's more tricky, you have to be a bit lucky and paddle.out from the point and hope you get out before the current push you to the boneyard end section as there is a short break to the dry reef

[@ratattack420]

That’s 6 foot

[@carloslukather6658]

very good video. great waves. how was impossibles this day?

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks Carlos for watching! Impossibles was a bit maxing out on the point, was working more down the line/endsection in the afternoon low tide.

[@matteobingin]

opening sequence the sickest balangan ive evere seen

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha thanks Matteo, have you ever been surfing balangan, or you prefer always the other waves? : )

[@matteobingin]

@@SurfRawFiles in my old days I've surfed it a lot :)

[@TonyBrinkworth]

Too fat for surfing on a surfboard. Great though for riding on foil

[@danielschoeman5427]

No

[@mrnosy1]

No

[@nicholaskiefer1689]

fatter than most, but still a fun wave, and its relative softness makes it a good spot to move up to bigger waves. How can you say too fat for surfing after watching this video?

[@HekesBoy]

The inside section was hollow and a lot of waves would spit on the end section. High tide probably had the most swell filling in.

[@dillonhall266]

F*ck u on about mate lol

[@TonyBrinkworth]

Better for foiling than regular surfing. Too fat

[@danielschoeman5427]

No

[@mrnosy1]

No
