Chris Cole and Jasper Endersby showed me this spot in Bali a few years back when it was still relatively uncrowded. Now it is built out and everyman and his dog is on it. It's crazy how fast Bali changes. Photo: Jack Dekort
People love staring at waves, because waves are beautiful. When was the last time you saw someone staring at a soccer field when there was no one running around kicking a ball? Big waves have that terrifying beauty, while small waves are just pretty and serene. Put someone on a surfboard on top of those waves, and you have a recipe for splendor. Or in this case, a recipe for 82 of them.
