$This is a shot taken from an un-seaworthy water taxi. When the swell is pumping on the East coast of Bali, you better bring your A game and an extra pair of cojones. Pete Cox, digging in on Bali\'s east coast.$

I took this shot while waiting out a traffic jam. The Jimbaran hills overlook Kuta, while Mount Agung looms in the background.

I took this walking down the staircase to Uluwatu. This was my first glimpse of Uluz with trade winds in the 2011 season.

I shot this from the cliff warungs of Uluwatu. This day was one of the better early season days at Uluz. There were only ten guys out at the Racetrack, which is almost unheard of these days.

The locals on Bali seem to get better every time I visit. Agust Broww (Blackie) pulling in at the main peak, Uluwatu.

While in search of empty waves on an overly crowded island, I ran into probably the best pieces of real estate on the island. South end of the Bukit, Bali.

Even the girls surf better than you in paradise. LeAnn Curren dropping into the track. Racetrack, Uluwatu Bali

Park benches look way cooler in Asia than they do back home. Tanjung Benoa, Bali.

One of the other main reasons I visit Bali. The beach sand is exquisite. Black Rock beach, Nusa Dua, Bali.

I was born and raised on Cape Cod Massachusetts, a small sand bar that juts out into the frigid north Atlantic. Cape Cod is not much of a surf mecca. To compensate for the lack of waves and weather, Cape Codders must spread out to warmer climates. Over the last three years I have contracted the photography bug. Now-a-days, it’s hard to find me without my camera or dreaming up my next shot. I just returned home for a little break from the hustle and bustle of Bali life and thought I might share some images. I have been traveling to Bali since 1999. I love the island and its people. At first, the main draw for me was the laid back, do-anything attitude that comes with perfect waves ten thousand miles from home. Now it’s the perfect light, the smiling faces, and the tanned bottoms.
