Today’s post is Balinese inspired since Ruth and I are enjoying our time in Bali surfing and learning about Balinese culture. Bali is world renown for its artistry in wood carving, stone carving, and metal working (just to name a few), but what is it that really makes it stand out over others we’ve come across? I’m convinced it the Balinese artists’ attention to detail that truly makes their work unique. The extra time spent on perfecting their craft and their artwork can be appreciated no matter what your culture or background.

It is with this spirit that we encourage everyone of you to strive for attention to detail in your movement and lifting technique. I’ve posted before that perfect practice makes perfect and how this is the philosophy that we strive to instill in all Intrepids. Spend the extra time working to perfect your movement and actually give a damn by paying attention to detail because in the long run this makes the difference.
