Was This The Best Session Of The Year? - Padang Padang, 12 September 2020

Conditions have been good to surfers of Padang Padang lately. Multiple swells along with favourable tides have produced more pumping days in the first two weeks of September than the preceding months combined.
Comparing different sessions isn't a black and white deal, but the barrels on the 12th were some of the longest that we've seen at Bali's best wave in 2020 and unlike some of the swells earlier in the year, it was really consistent.
Hopefully this isn't the final hurrah for the year's big dry season swells, but if it turns out to be the case, it would be a fitting way to cap off a great run of solid waves.

I really love the format of this channel. It is so peaceful, and beautiful camera work. I make playlists of these videos and just have it running on my TV so when I walk by I catch a glimpse of some great surfing And here the calming sound of the ocean. Great For work and study. Grateful!

[@surfersofbali]

Ha, that's epic. Thanks for keeping the views ticking over 🙂🙏

[@shorebreak69]

I miss your rides home, I wanna see how quiet the streets are now without the fifty million tourists.

[@mikel5582]

Daily wave quality since I first started watching this channel a few days ago. 10, 10, 10, 9.99, 10, 10, 10.5. Yeah, you're right; best day so far.

I'm so jealous I have Goosebumps all over my body

[@cspruitt3190]

It was awesome indeed. The best though, for me, was the day of Corox's triple barrel! That was the ride of the year, so far. Thank you for your work. I truly enjoy every moment

[@surfersofbali]

That was a pretty sweet session as well! Thanks mate 🙏

[@sdsurfers1]

LOVE your videos! You guys should be at 100,000 subscribers in a few months! GREAT video work and editing!

[@surfersofbali]

Thanks mate, I like your optimism 🙂

The dude at the 2 min mark..... the reason we all go surfing

[@amadahita2073]

Ahhhh so good i want rn ahhh amazing waves gotta keep myself over I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like *Delta Parole* or with relaxing music videos in background.

[@danni1993]

Ewww. Why would you want to hear heavy metal music, when you have the calming sound of the surf?

[@josephrigan2421]

September is the month......congratulations SOB, this gets my rare 9*********star seal of excellence, for best short surf video of the year 2020 (and possibly the best tube of the year, which starts at 0:44)!..., with the wind suspending- - those big- beautiful- rolling- translucent- turquoise barrels from Bali (especially during covid), right on!!!!!!!!!!!

[@surfersofbali]

Ha, our first 9 star prize! We'll take it 🙂👍

[@tomseadon9965]

I would’ve loved to surf waves like this, about 40 years ago! So glad I found this channel! Thanks!

[@surfersofbali]

🙂👍

[@thejonathanrath]

Thanks for bringing this to us. You are a legend! One of the best surfing channels hands-down. You live in paradise, enjoy and take care sob.

[@surfersofbali]

Thanks a lot mate 🙂🙏

[@smithc5791]

It's beautiful for sure. But to be the best session of the year it needs to have more open and more often tubes available

[@tomr164]

2020. Lockdown Happens. The Balinese Gods bless the Balinese with months of the best waves.

[@seanmcmanus9656]

Seems fair to me.

[@ms.nelson5076]

Looks freaking topps. What is with the crowd during COVId? Looks packed WITHOUT tourists getting in easily. Guessing Ulus was too big for most so this was the go to...

[@vickryan]

I love the stoke! 2:15

[@cortright3669]

Another great video. How fast are some of the surfers going? What distance were some of them traveling? It looks like a long ways back.

[@surfersofbali]

I'm not sure how fast they're going but probably 50 to 100 meter rides

[@dylankaczmarek630]

was epic!!

[@AJPification]

your channel rocks. wind muffs are like .30 cents :) would be good roi.

[@mountainssea9642]

[@winstonwhite894]

Awesome, time for another local interview bra they're interesting, in particular when you ask them whats the best of Bali. Makes me what to live there haha

[@surfersofbali]

We've got a backlog of interviews that I haven't edited yet, just waiting for the surf to back off a little 🙂

[@winstonwhite894]

@@surfersofbali awesome look forward to them

[@romcallis]

Surprised they are getting so many solo rides with that crowd

[@alejandrotobienne584]

At high tide no but I bet at low tide it was epic.

[@jackgraham5037]

That sunburnt shirtless dude the kept getting tubed seems intense.

What’s a good mellow longboard wave in or around Bali?

[@bairesmax5965]

What’s the deal if your coming from Europe to Bali , whit the COVID and all ? Is it possible ? Do you have to quarantine on arrival?

[@arkorenke]

Borders closed until end of the year

[@surfersofbali]

You would need a work visa, and I heard you need to get a swab test on arrival and self quarantine in a hotel for up to 3 days while waiting for the test result.

[@patrickmcduffie8691]

RIP medinas board
