Surf Diaries: Molly Picklum’s Guide To Bali

Over the past few years Molly Picklum has made quite a name for herself. Between winning the Under-18 Aussie National Final, taking out the Pro Junior at Stradbroke Island, charging on the @ripcurl_women trip to Bali and keeping the public entertained with her hilarious Instagram page), Molly Picklum is one gal you’ll want to keep an eye on in the future.

On that recent trip to Bali, we sat down and picked Molly’s brain on the very best of her trip – and got her suggestions on what to do in Bali, where to eat, where to surf and what to wear. A word of warning from Ms Picklum... sunscreen is a must!

First and foremost Bali is known for its reefs… both the stunning underwater life they foster, and the picture perfect waves they create. But there’s more to Bali than what’s in the water. Let Molly take you on a journey to volcanic mountains, monkey temples and streets bustling with scooters and delicious food.

Bali is whatever you’re Searching for. It could be your ultimate surf, yoga and meditation retreat... or, if that’s not what you’re after, simply cross a few rice paddies and there’ll be a tiki bar with a beach break out the front.
