The secret to happiness might be different for some people, but for us, it is most certainly the good waves of Bali. No matter if you are a beginner or advanced surfer, everyone can find the perfect wave for their surfing level. Today, Balangan was the right choice to go and practice catching green waves and start doing the first turns.

Tomorrow, a new swell from the south will bring bigger waves again, and with all the practice done the last few days, it is time to put the new surfing skills to the test. Challenge yourself from time to time, and you will be amazed at what you can achieve, in and out of the water.

There is little doubt that this wave is one of the best learning grounds to improve your surfing level. A gently breaking peak, like this one, is perfect for practising your first turns on a green wave. Even though it was a bit choppy due to the stormy weather last night, the incoming waves were enjoyable all the way to the beach.

Learning how to surf is not only about learning the right technique, but also getting to know the ocean, its waves and even yourself. In the first session in the line-up, catching green waves will show you how fit you are and how far you can push your limits, in a safe and fun way.

The new year welcomed us with offshore winds and shoulder high set waves at one of our favourite surf breaks on the Bukit. A not too big and friendly crowd made this session very enjoyable. Among the local rippers were some of Indonesia’s best surfers. Just seeing these talents fly through the air and doing massive turns on such waves, is just incredible.

Not only did the Pros have fun, but many other surfers, experts and intermediates were having lots of waves to practise their surfing skills. On this kind of wave, you need to be able to generate lots of speed to make it around the section and onto the clean face of the wave. Once there, enjoy the ride!
