It was a long burning dream for Raul to come and visit Bali, and after ‘gambling’ his savings on travel expenses to enter a surf comp he eventually made it to the ‘Land of the Lefts’.
On advice from his friends, he arrived armed with €600, hoping to stay for 6 months. He ran out of money after 3 months – which isn’t a bad effort – and had to go and work in Australia to revive his bank account.
The budgeting is in better order these days, and he uses Bali a base between stints of work in Europe and chasing events on the Qualifying Series.
#SOBBeached is an interview series giving a voice to some of the surfers featured in our videos.
