Bali tourist dies after happy ending massage. Like the last shot out of a Roman candle one lucky, or rather unlucky tourist saved his best for last. After getting a serving in a Denpasar 'handy joint' this guy's ticker lasted only just outlasted his pecker. Here's more from the Beat Magazine.

A man was reported dead on Monday after receiving a massage that some might consider “complete” and others may describe as “plus plus”.

Authorities believe the man died of a seizure after enjoying an extra special massage at a spa in South Denpasar.

According to police, the victim had asked for extra services after his massage was over and after the masseuse completed her special task, the victim suffered a seizure which ultimately resulted in his death.

“From the statements of the spa employees who massaged the victim, the victim immediately suffered a seizure after ejaculation,” said South Denpasar Chief Tri Waluyo.

Police were called to the scene after the incident and brought the body to Sanglah hospital and do not suspect any foul play.

“We found no scars or anything on the victim. The victim allegedly had a heart disease,” said the police chief.

Ellis Ericson Tops Lineup of Single Fin Stylists to Win Good Vibrations Retro Classic at Canggu-Bali

27 August 2012, Kuta-Bali:  It was a truly epic day of good vibes at Canggu Beach on Saturday, with 23 year old Ellis Ericson topping the field of 48 surfers that had come from near and from afar to surf together in celebration of the classic single fin surfboard at the second annual Good Vibrations Retro Classic.

The good vibes were felt from Canggu Beach down to Mantra in Petitinget from the early hours of Saturday morning until past midnight as surfing legends such as Terry Fitzgerald and Mitchell Rae, pro surfers Rob Machado, Rizal Tanjung and Marlon Gerber, musician-surfers Jon Foreman, Tim Foreman, and Chad Butler from the band Switchfoot, Bali legends Made Lana from Uluwatu and Ketut Menda from Kuta and others with their families and friends from all over the world came together to honor and celebrate the roots of modern surfing at this unique surf gathering.

Winning the 30-minute six man final was nothing short of a dream come true for young Ellis, who hails from Byron Bay Australia and is an admitted retro addict who has done nothing but surf and shape single fin surfboards for the last four years.  He has been hanging out around Canggu recently and clearly had both the place and his style dialed in to perfection on Saturday, after almost missing the event.

“The night before I send Jake a text telling him I wanted to be in the contest, but then ended up getting really drunk,” he admitted, somewhat embarrassed.  “So I woke up this morning and like, ‘I’m not going in the contest but I’ll just go down there and say hello’.  When I got there they were like ‘get out there, you’re in heat 8’, so I just got out there….I just kept powering and the heats just started turning over you know?”

Ellis was in his element to be sure.  “There were so many good boards out there, the Blue Bird, the Hot Buttered, the Flex Tail, and seeing Terry (Fitzgerald) and Mitchell (Rae) here, who are my favorite shapers including my father….having those guys here and surfing in a heat with Terry, I was so inspired!  It’s the stuff I just thrive on.  It’s so good to see everybody here appreciating the old boards and the older figures in surfing, the guys that laid down the foundation of what we know, see and love today.”

His inspired surfing got him the win and accolades from his peers including Steven “Monty” Montell, who was one of the judges along with Arya Subyakto, Wayan Pica, and Wayan Suandhi.  “Throughout the day Ellis surfing with a mix of power, flow and functional flare,” said Montell, “reminiscent of the 70’s tail following the nose style, all of which the judges were looking for today.  It was truly gratifying to see a young surfer like Ellis surfing with such style, and so appreciative of surfing’s history.”

The 48 competitors were allowed to use only classic single fin retro surfboards and were not allowed to use a leg rope (leash), all in order to maintain the integrity and true spirit of the Good Vibrations event.  Consequently, all surfboards had to be inspected and approved by Drifter’s Jake Mackenzie, Insight’s Mike Rommelse, and Mantra’s Tipi Jabrik before the competitors took to the water.

The 6 man final ended with Ellis in first, Jay Button second, Marlon Gerber third, Tipi Jabrik fourth, Chris “Cutch” McHutchison in fifth, and Rob Machado in sixth.  In classic Drifter form Machado elected to spend the entire final down the beach at the Sand Bar rather than with the others at the rivermouth righthander.  From the podium at the awards presentation at Mantra, Machado said, “Congrats you guys…that was some amazing surfing and it was a pleasure to watch from down the beach.  I was taking notes all day….(laughing).  Seriously, it was a really cool event to be part of…I didn’t know what I was getting myself into today and I had a blast.  It was really fun surfing with all you guys, and being back here in Bali.”

Each of the finalists received a custom made classic style Luke Studer single fin surfboard at the awards presentation held at the Mantra bar and restaurant later that evening, where the massive celebration included raffle prizes, the awards presentation, hours of free drinks from Ketel One, San Miguel Light, and Cape Discovery wine, with live music by Los Gringos, Andy 6-String, and the internationally acclaimed band Switchfoot.

Bringing the epic day and amazing night to a memorable finish at Mantra were the platinum album selling San Diego-based band of surfing musicians that go by the name of Switchfoot.  They had the crowd magnetized and singing along with every word from each song as front man Jon Foreman, bassist Tim Foreman, guitarist Drew Shirley, guitarist/keyboardist Jerome Fontamilla and drummer Chad Butler put on a high energy, emotionally charged, up-close-and-personal performance.  As they ended their last song, Jon described it best when he said to the audience, “This really reminds me of back in college when we were playing in living rooms….and so I want to thank you all for inviting us into your living room here tonight.”

Jon, Tim and Chad had all surfed in the Good Vibrations event earlier in the day, and were still on a high from their first single fin experience. “We loved the opportunity to get out there, to meet so many cool people,” said Chad.  “The community is so strong and it’s a rare thing to see, and we were honored to be adopted by the Bali community today…it was really great.  And experiencing the Good Vibrations event…I don’t think I’ve ever ridden a single fin until today… but now I want one of these things.  I gotta get home and start learning on a single fin, it’s just that much fun!

The band has been together for 15 years now, surfing together, playing music, and hanging out, and during the contest it was Jon who put together one of the day’s highlights, going switchfoot not once but twice on the same wave.  “That was the best wave I’ve ever surfed switchfoot, for sure…it was so long!” exclaimed Jon.

The band took their name from the surfing term switchfoot, means to change your normal stance to an opposite stance while surfing on a wave.  As Chad explained, “We grew up in San Diego surfing together…so wanted to have a name that represented our home and the culture we grew up in.  We don’t take ourselves too seriously, so we thought Switchfoot was a pretty good name…even though none of us are really good at it.  Well, except for Jon…I think he has been practicing more than me, as obviously he’s gotten really good at it!”

According to Chad, they have kind of on-going joke that whenever they are surfing together, before they get out of the water they have to ride at least one wave switchfoot, just to keep in form.  “Every year in June we organize an event at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas called the Switchfoot Bro Am, which is a benefit for homeless kids with music and such,” he continued.  “In it we have a little contest where you have to ride one wave regular and one wave goofy, so we have to stay in practice!”

A groovy and good time was had by all who attended the Good Vibrations event, and as Tipi Jabrik said afterwards, “I don’t know what we’re going to do next year to create a better event than this, it was so far beyond our expectations…but we’ll find a way to do it somehow…count on it!”

Good Vibrations Retro Classic ‘All Single Fin’ Comp to Take Over Canggu Beach on August 25th

Good Vibrations Retro Classic ‘All Single Fin’ Comp to Take Over Canggu Beach on August 25^th

08 August 2012, Seminyak-Bali:  In a celebration of all things classic in surfing, the second annual Good Vibrations Retro Classic surf competition will take over Canggu Beach in Bali on Saturday, August 25 for a great day of surfing with old and new friends, music and entertainment, environmental awareness programs and beach cleanups, surfboard demo’s, and more.

Australia’s Asher Pacey was the winner of the inaugural Good Vibrations in 2010, and had this to say about his experience: “I enjoy this kind of event for a lot of reasons, mostly because it’s based around getting together with like-minded crew, slowing things down a bit, and just having fun at the beach.  Plus it gives us a chance to truly appreciate where current surfing comes from, surfing on these older style boards that used to be the cutting edge, and seeing how we all go on them today.  It’s all about the fun, and you sure don't want to miss out on that!”

A field of 48 surfers will be joining this 2^nd annual event at arguably Bali’s most popular wave playground of Canggu Beach, their primary objective to impress the judging panel and the crown on the beach with their ability to master the single fin style surfboard.  The surfers are only allowed to use either old classic boards or new versions of the old classics in the competition; the only stringent requirement is that the board must have no more than one fin.

The one-day competition organized and sponsored by Drifter Surf Shop, Mantra, and Insight Indonesia will culminate in a 6-man final, where each finalist will receive their own new single fin surfboard just for making it to the final.  Up for grabs are two classic “Morning of the Earth” style boards, two pintail “Gerry Lopez” style boards, and two wingtip pintail boards.   The overall winner gets his or her name on the perpetual Good Vibrations trophy that will be housed alternately in The Drifter Surf, Mantra, and at Insight.  There will also be awards for the biggest drop, deepest barrel, most stylish turn, biggest wipeout, and any other crazy maneuvers that may manifest themselves during this day of retro expression.

According to Drifter Surf Shop’s Jake Mackenzie, “This event was originally meant to be an expression session of sorts, but then it seemed to evolve the more we talked about it and ended up being a contest.  But the real emphasis is on seeing the traditional style of surfing from the late 60’s and early 70’s on display, something cool and interesting for both new and old surfers and surf enthusiasts. This classic style is truly timeless, and is a beautiful way to represent the sport of surfing.”

“It all came about when Tipi (Jabrik) and I had a conversation about single fin boards couple of years ago, as he was looking for a few classics to display in his shop,” he added.  “Tipi told me about his idea of having a fun single fin event in Legian someday, and so we just took it from there.  I’m really looking forward to seeing these all the guys out there, getting barreled, doing big carving heavy-on-the-rail re entries…today’s level of surfing ability paired with yesterday’s board shapes and style.”

And with legends like Terry Fitzgerald, Mitchell Rae, and the “Drifter” himself Rob Machado coming, it promises to be one heckuva highlight in Bali’s 2012 surf season.

The fun filled and action packed day at the beach will also include music and entertainment, as well a positive environmental message in the form of a beach cleanup and the placement of new rubbish bins courtesy of Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia. The eco-goal of the event is to leave Canggu Beach looking pristine, with a few footprints in the sand and new rubbish bins the only evidence that the surfers and the audience were ever there.

After the finals the crowd will depart the beach and move down to Mantra on Jalan Petitengit in Seminyak for the awards presentation and after party presented by Ketel One vodka and San Miguel beer, where Switchfoot from California will be headlining bringing their platinum album selling brand of rock music to Bali.  There will also be a small Indonesian surf history exhibition on display, showcasing early Bali surfing legends and more.

The beer and vodka will flow, and tales will be told by those both young and old, so be sure you’re there to share in all the ‘good, good, good, Good Vibrations’!

Lembongan Surf Team Annual Contest to Run on August 18-19

Nusa Lembongan, Bali, Indonesia. The longest running local surfing event held in Indonesia, “The Lembongan Surf Contest” presented by Billabong, marks the 11^th  year for this event.

On August the 19^th & 20^th, 65 competitors in 4 divisions; Masters, Opens, Grommets & Airshow; will see intense surfing from all LST members striving for the title of Champion.

An event compromising of some of the ISC (Indonesian Surfing Championship) tour’s top guns battling it out upon their own local reefs, we will see the likes of;

Agus Frimanto   aka   Ronis   (Billabong)

Putra Hermawan   aka   Pulu   (Rip Curl)

Putu Anggara   aka   Wala   (Rip Curl)

Wayan Susiana   aka   Robot   (Oakley)

Challenging their LST team members, such as Kudul, Planet, Werdi, Agus P and Balon; to push the limits & to know no boundaries.

This 2 day event begins at the legendary “Shipwrecks” reef, a wave that allows for high performance surfing and then onto the famous “Lacerations” when the swell begins to peak, setting the stage for deep barrels over a shallow razor sharp reef.

With solid swells pumping through Bali lately contest director, Wayan Lena, has elected to run this year’s event in solid 5-7ft conditions – allowing the team’s youngest competitors to put on a fierce display of their talents; prior to the next back to back 10ft swells expected to thunder down the reefs in the days to follow.

LST has proven over the years to being a breeding ground of champions and this year holds no exceptions. Young guns like Komo Wilson (Quiksilver) and Ediana Buncis (previously with Rusty), whom dominated last year’s Billabong Pro Junior event held in Lembongan, are determined to score 10 point rides, no matter what!

Standby for a full review of all the hottest action set upon one of the world’s most beautiful destinations.

Thank you to all our supporting and contributing sponsors for allowing LST to show the world how they surf with island pride.
