July 15, 2006 - Last Three Days, Bali
Written By Naomi
Eddie decided I had
to pay some dues for buzzing me around on the back of the Tiger. So here’s my take on the last few days. The waves have been
fun. Bingin was shacking and Impossibles threw out some fun racy lefts along
with a barrel here and there. We tried to get up early to surf the reefs of
Kuta for about 3 days, but kept hitting snooze until yesterday morning. Six
am and I was hassled out of bed by Eddie shouting at me to “Get up” before
he yelled at Juan and Rasky (a.ka. Ping and Pong- sort of the Puertorican version
of Cheech and Chong) to wake up after they had been out until 3am drinking
Arak Atac. Arak is the Bali equivalent of moonshine. Rasky’s eyes popped
open bulging out dazed and confused. I guess the Arak really attacked him.
Boards bungied on the bikes, we cruised over to catch a boat ride out to Middles
(Outer Reef Break at Kuta Beach) . This was Ping and Pong’s version of
an Indo boat trip. We took some water footage of the waves. Eddie almost took
Juan’s head off on one. All I could hear was Juan’s Spanish shriek.
When I looked back I saw him paddling way over in the channel. After about
an hour we were cold. My teeth were chattering at one point and I huddled down
inside the narrow boat to hide from the wind. Rasky bailed out on us earlier.
He was making some of his unusually funny faces and had wiped out on all of
his waves. Juan and Rasky have definitely added some riotous laughter to our
days and nights. Watching them trying to follow us into Kuta on their scooter
was hilarious. Rasky‘s face was white with fear, eyes bulged out, and
his skinny arms were shaking all over the place while he was trying to weave
in and out of the chaos. In an interview after Juan’s turn driving, he
said his heart was beating so fast he thought he was going to have a heart
attack. We thought it would be funny to film them on their crazy adventure
into Kuta. That night while eating sushi and watching the video we laughed
so hard we couldn’t even talk. Some video footage will posted soon of
Juan and Rasky’s loco adventures. It’s been non-stop comedy with
them around. You might even get a few laughs from the pics below. What a crazy
pack of characters!! P.S. Hi Mom.
