Surfing use to be a way of life for me.From 1980 to 1985 I surfed everyday rain or shine if there were ride able waves.
My first time surfing and smoking pot happened in of all places BALI.It was Christmas 1975,I was 15 and my parents worked in the middle-east so we took a vacation to Bali.I stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel and there was a American hippy/surfer tour guide that took tourists all over the island .My family and the guide hit it off so he offered to take my brother and me surfing each afternoon once he finished working.So this guy hooks me and my brother up with a 9 foot board and say the place were going to is about a mile away and that we have to walk.Well I'm thinking this is going to be one hell of a walk! Longboards are heavy! Once we got walking ,our new found friend sensed that we wern't too thrilled about the walk and asked if we were cool, my brother and I looked at each other and said yeah but we didn't know what he meant.He then pulls out abag of weed and one of the coolest wooden pipes that I have seen.By the time we got to the beach I was stoned stoned stoned!
For the next week after that I went out everyday and learned how to surf and smoke pot.Bali was my favorite places in the world but I don't think its the same anymore.
