Hey @surfermarly, im in Bali now! Dont worry there are plenty of homestays and beautiful accommodation around the area if everywhere else is booked.
Also i think you will enjoy the night surfing at kerama's too, which they will probably hold for freesurfing while the comp is on - be sure to check it out!
Hopefully see you there myself next year :)
p.s - take the time to learn a bit of simple bahasa and it could open a lot of doors with the locals, they really appreciate it!!
