This morning, our beginner surfers headed the very short distance down the road to our local break of Padang Padang for their first session of group and private lessons.

Padang Padang is a great wave for learning to surf as the forgiving waves peel along the soft, seagrass-covered reef and into the channel where the waves don’t break — the perfect place to catch your breath before heading back out for your next wave.

This morning waves were breaking in the waist to chest-high range and everybody had loads of fun before heading to Dreamland after breakfast for their second session of the day.
