It was a usual morning today. The onshore wind made the surf conditions tricky but still very fun at Padang-Padang Beach. As we all know, and this is also what makes surfing so interesting, is that the waves are never the same. Every day is a bit different and learning to adapt to different conditions is part of the experience.

Most people surf when the waves are great, no wonder, but surfing when the waves are not perfect can be very beneficial. There were fewer people out in the line-up, so it was easy to catch many waves. The more waves you catch, the more you progress and develop your surfing skills. Once you get used to surfing in choppy, onshore conditions, surfing when the waves are perfect again, will be much easier and even more fun.
