Month: October 2019

This morning our beginner and intermediate surfers jumped in the boat to surf Tower in Jimbaran bay. Named after the large towers used to mark the deep water channel for large boats, this is a great spot for progressing from white water to surfing the green faces and friendlier than nearby Toro Toro, which is a slightly longer boat ride away.

As you can see from today’s photos, our guests all caught some great waves in the late October sun. No sign of wet season so far!

Elsewhere at the surf camp, our other surf lessons took place at Bingin Rights, Nikko and Jimbaran today, so there was something to suit everybody — carefully selected, as always, by our expert local surf guides and instructors.

Our two vans of intermediate surfers headed to Jump Off aka Honeymoons this morning for their lessons, which is located alongside the cliffs at the south of Jimbaran Bay.

After everybody had built up the courage to jump off the cliffs and into the water, they all had a great time surfing the left-handers of this unique spot.

Wave height was in the chest-high to head-high range and the cliffs provided their shelter from the wind, resulting in clean waves for everyone to enjoy.

After breakfast, both of these groups surfed at Toro Toro while our other group lessons took place at Tower and Jimbaran.

Today’s report comes from Nikko where our intermediate and advanced groups headed for surfing lessons and guiding.

A beautiful spot on the south coast of the Bukit peninsular named after the hotel, Nikko was offering up waves from waist high to head high this morning, for our guests’ second surf session of the day.

Following a grey start to the morning, the clouds burned away to leave us with a bright, sunny day, and light cross-offshore winds kept the waves clean for the whole session.

After a busy morning of surfing, our guests headed back to the camp for their delicious daily lunch.

This morning our intermediate group took the boat out from Jimbaran bay to surf at Toro Toro — one of Bali’s famous airport reefs.

Split between the main peak and the inside, there were plenty of waves to go around and everyone had a great time as they worked on progressing from surfing the whitewater to the waves’ faces.

After stopping back at the surf camp for breakfast, the intermediate group surfed at Dreamland to continue working on the great progress they’ve made so far.

Our advanced surf guiding and intermediate surf lessons groups headed back to Toro Toro this morning where they located themselves by ability level. The advanced group surfed the main wave on the outside and the intermediates enjoyed the friendlier waves on the inside.

Light onshore winds resulted in a small amount of chop in the water but conditions were still very clean and everyone had a great session. Our surfers refuelled at camp for breakfast before heading back out for their second sessions of the day to Dreamland and Padang Padang.

After lunch today, our guests will be treated to a free workshop on freediving and breath-hold training by Shane Tierney, a Master Freedive and Survival Apnea Instructor.

Our intermediate group headed to Tower for another great surf session. Exciting boat trip to the spot is additional benefit to have fun along with surf lessons. Conditions a bit windy today with fresh offshore but still very comfortable for learning and improving. Swell size is a bit smaller than yesterday and waves are chest high to shoulder high.

Beginners group enjoyed their surf lessons at Jimbaran beach this morning. Comfortable conditions for novice surfers and super fun surfing session with waves knee high to waist high.

With a big swell hitting Bali’s shores today, our beginner group headed for the sheltered safety of Jimbaran Bay for their surf lessons this morning.

Wave height today was perfect for learning to surf in Bali at knee- to waist-high — ideal for our beginners to get their first experience progressing from whitewater to riding the faces of green waves.

Whatever the conditions, our experienced surfing instructors will always find the best and most suitable waves on offer each day for our beginner, intermediate and advanced groups.

This morning our intermediate and advanced groups jumped in the boat at Jimbaran bay and headed out the short distance to Toro Toro.

The waves were coming through at a nice size but not as consistently as we would have liked, so our expert surf guides made the call for the advanced group to move over to the higher-performance waves of Airport Lefts — ensuring all our guests had the opportunity to surf the waves best-suited to their abilities.

Everybody had a great session with some particularly long rides and a great time was had by all.
