Hi i've been surfing for 3 months in queensland at a beach break. I'm off to bali for 4 weeks and have heard it's all reef. I still fall off heaps and just wanna know if i'll hit the reef all the time?

The water depth at reefs varies for every one. Some you can fall off and wont ever hit the reef. Others break in a couple of feet of water. Just make sure you know how shallow it is before you go out

It's not all reef, there's Kuta Beach which is a beachbreak.
If you are going reef surfing and are not 100% happy with your skill level then definately wear booties, if you go in then there is a chance of going feet first & if you get washed onto the reef then you can stand up.
