Bali…… Bali is an Indonesian island located in the western most of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west (the most highly populated and influential of all the islands,) and Lombok to the east. (One of the quieter and moderately slower paced islands) Bali is a small island, just 140 Km by 80 Km. It is one of the country's 33 provinces with the provincial capital at Denpasar towards the south of the island. Bali has developed a world of its own, It not only captures what is special about Indonesia but also has a uniqueness of its own.
Bali has long been a very popular surfer's travel destination with its powerful, open ocean swells and consistent trade winds. Over the last three years, more and more enthusiasts are also discovering its great potential as a world-class kite surfing destination. The average wind speeds for Bali are 10 - 15 knots with other islands in the region reaching 15 - 25 knots. This area of the world also has some good waves for kite surfing! The island of Bali is located in The Indian Ocean, in the tropics, just about 6º South of the equator. Blessed with warm temperatures, where the variation is very small throughout the year, with sunrises at 6 am in the morning and sunsets at 6 pm.
Extreme Sports Café’s partner Bali Kitesurfing School offers a complete range of kitesurfing courses from beginner courses to advanced kitesurfing lessons for kite boarders who are looking to improve on their skills. The season for kitesurfing lessons on Bali is from April 15th to December 20th.

Indonesia has a tropical climate. There is no Autumn or Winter but distinctive "Dry" and "Wet" seasons share the year. The transitional period between these two seasons is interspersed by the occasional heavy 
rain shower, but even in the midst of the West Monsoon season, temperatures range from 21 degrees to 33 degrees C except at higher altitudes, which can be much cooler.
- The East Monsoon: June to September, brings dry weather. The humidity is low, and it can be quite cool in the evenings. During this time of the year, you'll have hardly any rain in the coastal areas.
- The West Monsoon: December to March the Wet weather. There are heavy showers and high humidity, but usually days are sunny and the rains start during the night and pass quickly.
Bali Indonesia Notes
- Bali Island is a shopper's paradise particularly for casual and tailored clothing, locally made jewellery, handicrafts, antiques and artefacts. All at unbelievable prices, leather ware is one of the
unexpected local bargains with everything from handbags through to tailor made leather jackets and coats. In fact, prices are so inexpensive; you're sure to have to pick up an extra suitcase! Try bargaining at the street markets of Kuta, Sanur of Nusa Dua. - The unit of currency is Indonesia Rupiah indicated as IDR. Foreign currency can be converted at banks and moneychangers.
- Today there is an increasing number of direct flight connections between Bali and many European, Australian and Asian cites. As well as Los Angeles and Honolulu.
- Don't look for "Bali" in airline timetables. It's listed as Denpasar. (DPS) This is the name of the island's capital. However, from Bali's international Ngurah Rai Airport it takes you just 15 to 30 minutes by car to Kuta, Legian, Sanur and Nusa Dua, and in about 50 to 60 minutes you can be in Ubud.
