Hidden Paradise - Balian
Ойын-сауық
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.

Yea bull sharks I got told after surfing there 🤣
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.

Ive seen massive ones cruising thru, that river mouth and the dark water hides them
Is 100% paradise 100% shredd
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...

2018 was so quiet a couple of people then surfed it solo.
Lol, no one mention the shark attacks
videos like this should say hey random tourist free invite come on down
The right is so much better.
considering there is a small chance getting bitten by the bully, I'm more confident put my plastic paddel down in the murky water then my arm, a great sup spot compare to other bali gems, ahh I miss Balian!

Sups are banned in Bali due to who gives a fuck.
The "odd bull shark attack"? Really?

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.

@@rawsurfing I used to live in Hawaii (Maui and Kauai) and they seriously downplay the shark attacks there. Bad for tourism, I guess. If there’s an attack in Hawaii then it’s always Tiger sharks.
