'Industry'


The surfing industry has a HUGE presence in Kuta Beach. Every year visitors to Bali (mainly Europeans) are introduced to Australian and American surfingbrands for the first time while preying Kuta's huge surfretailstores. The infamous Legian shoppingsdistrict in Kuta hosts all the biggest brands; Quiksilver, Billabong, Rip Curl, Volcom etc. and together with nearby factory outlets this street certainly is a major hub for establishing and creating relation to surfing's retailmarket. The use of codes and customs is well established here. For example the use and style of the now almost standard kneelenght surftrunk have atleast in parts spread to Northern Europe via Bali and Australia by travelling youths and/or high school exchange students to Aus. A 'contemporary' brand like RVCA would probably do good operating more actively here.

'Bingin'


Bingin, Bali Bukit. Surfing offseason, meaning lesser crowds. Since the first time I came here ten years ago not much have changed in terms of worldclass wavequality and overall atmosphere. More housing but still way too much of a nischedestination to pull any bigger touristcrowds from Kuta. The cliff above the Bingin break have developed over the years and there are now several private villas overlooking the ocean. A few 'estate resorts' have also popped up but nothing really to disrupt the balance between traditional Balinese living and outside investments.
