  • Balian is a mellow wave with a left and right in front of a filthy rivermouth. The water is a bit murcky and there is the odd bull shark attack (one on the morning I arrived actually). Balian is far eneough away from the noise of Kuta and Canggu to feel like you are in your own world with plenty of fun waves which you will share with only a few people and the odd bull shark.

    I saw a bull shark completely breach here back in April this year, easily 6ft. A local fisherman snagged one in his net too, he showed me the pic and it wasn't small. Food for days.

    at Balian that happened the day after our last visit there. A young Russian surfer girl was bit on the foot by a small shark and she suffered some very nasty lacerations. She is currently recovering after her surgery here in Bali. Nb: This would be the 6th shark / surfer incident at this break over the last 7-8 years.

      @@masonsmith858 I hear it was in april. I'm so scared of this place now, I saw myself a 6" bullshark 1,5 month ago, so in rainy saison. And an Italian guy was biten 1 week after, nothing so bad but fuck... I canceled 5 nights there. Ok they are here more in rainy season because of the river wich make drop the water of the spot when it rained hard a little more higher and bring fishes too. But sharks are always here... More I was staying there more I heard things from local people. No magic, it's one of the area and so few people in the water... People in just don't know...

    The "odd bull shark attack"? Really?

    • @rawsurfing
      @rawsurfing  2 роки тому +1

      The water around the river exit is very murky and it’s pretty common to see one jump or splash when chasing fish. I think all but one shark attacks in Bali were at Balian. None fatal, just a bite and swim off.
