Bali’s biggest move ever? John John in 2013.
Stop number three on this year’s WSL Championship Tour takes us to Kereamas in Bali. It is quite possibly the destination on tour that the surfers look forward to most – and not just because it’s a fun place to surf. The hotel and surrounding area has become luxury and a destination resort. Many bring their families and turn it into a full vacation. It’s a circus. A fun, luxurious circus with one of the most high performance waves you’ll ever see.
