Sick in Bali

10:24 Feb 16 2014 Seminyak, Bali, Indonesia

Description

Myself and 5 others surfed at Double 66 beach in October, two days in a row. The first day there was a ton of garbage in the water and it smelled funny. We surfed anyway. Next day, no garbage and water seemed fine.
A few days later ALL of us got violently ill - throwing up, projectile-style, the runs, fever. It was awful.
Very sad to learn that an open sewer was running into double 66 beach, a beach rife with surfers new and old.
