Surfer’s paradise
Look closely at today’s homepage image and you’ll spot the shadow of a surfer, who's probably delighted to be here in Medewi, Bali. It's a popular spot thanks to its big waves, warm water and beautiful views. With its 13,000 islands and all-year-round warm water, Indonesia is a prime surfing destination. Wave chasers started arriving in Bali from around the world in the 1960s and '70s and these days, major surfing brands operate their Southeast Asia headquarters from the island.
Peak surf season here usually falls between April and October but you can get a taste of it from home at any time - just put on a classic surf movie filmed on Bali's beaches, like Morning of the Earth or The Endless Summer 2.
