HER: [BEACH KIMONO] – [MELANGE KNOT BANDEAU TOP] + HIM: [CULT HYPERDRY T-SHIRT]
BALI ROADTRIP SPRING/ SUMMER 2016
The Island of Bali, positioned east of Java and west of Lombok has always held a very special place in the hearts of surfers around the globe. With near perfect waves, volcanic mountains, warm water, and friendly locals, Bali provides something for all travelers, producing endless saltwater smiles. For some, their visit is about relaxation and a respite from the 9 to 5 grind, while for others it’s about adventure; chasing the next swell and soaking in all that the island has to offer. So, what is the perfect Bali trip? With a loose itinerary and lots of time on their hands, we follow a couple as they explore the island from the highest inland waterfalls to the most remote breaks accessible only by boats. From sunrise to sunset, we tag along with them to document their trip, capturing the dramatic to subtle and all moments in between.

A
I have made quite a few requests to the design ers as to what I want. I share my thoughts with
them and then I leave it to the design team to take it from there. I need boardies that are flexible, light, bold and quick drying. This is what you get in my boardshorts.

We recently sat down with O’Neill team member and WSL surfer Jordy Smith in between stops on the
