browsing old threads as sooner or later I'll pull the trigger on bali, even though I am a bit scared by heartquakes/vulcanoos/attacks, anyhow
1- is it doable in August if you are not a big balls pro surfers? I read in summer it's rocking, but I wonder if there will also be spots for below intermediate goofy surfers
2- what is a must read? Stormrider? Indo surf & lingo?
3- so bali is an island and as far as I understood everyone rents a motorbike and checks out different spots. Is that true or the island is actually not that small? does it matter where you decide to stay or no matter what you'll always have nice spots handy?
thanks!
1/Anytime of year you can still find smaller more mellow waves beachies and reefs around kuta and down the coast at places like Medewi (long mellow cobblestone left pt) Balian left and rights over flat cobblestones/flat reef/sand.
2/ Yes Indo surf and lingo is a must doesn't just give you spots but gives you a guide/idea of where to go when and other good info, unlike storm rider guides that are often first to expose secret spots, Indo surf & lingo has respected secret spots and not given to much away until secret spots have been blown open, hats off to Peter 
3/Bali isn't really that small but the south east corner is where most of the waves are.
no need to worry about earthquakes/volcanoes/bombings etc but Motorbikes- unless you are an experienced rider, give it a miss, Indo roads are crazy and Bali is as crazy as they get, ive heard 5 people a day die in Bali everyday from motorbike accidents, maybee its a wifes tale but i wouldn't be suprised if true,
Instead hire a car and driver its still very cheap and much safer.
BTW, Bali is pretty crowded and touristy, if you get there and aren't into it head to Lombok apart from deserts, good intermediate waves, or at least do a trip over to Nusa Lembongan not what it use to be but good first step for real taste of indo, tropical islands with fun offshore reefs.
