Take Surfing lessons. Blue Ocean Surf School on Legian Beach by Jayakarta Hotel/Jl Double 6/ Benny's Restaurant etc. About 10 am.
E-mail Slim at baliwaves.com. He will give you current info.
Check out www.schoolofsurf.com/locations.html.
An alternative might be Shane Horan's School of Surfing on the beach near Benny's Café, Legian. Your first lesson will be until you can stand up - no matter how long it takes. Very well supervised.
WARNING: Watch the rips along Kuta-Legian-Seminyak beaches. Tourists regularly drown here (14 in '05 with 309 logged rescues, 403 drowning in 33 years shows that some never learn.) and there are other dangerous beaches waiting to trap those who are a bit careless for only a moment.
Surfers new to the island should check http://www.baliwaves.com/ for locations, conditions and recent reports. Other sites include http://www.surftheearth.com.au/. Which has accommodation tips as well.
