Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang 

Starting surfing again after a few months of being landlocked can be tricky at first. Same as cycling, surfing is something you never forget after you have done it. Sure, it will take a while to get back in form again, but after a couple of days, you should be right back where you left off. The wave at “Baby-Padang” is perfect to do this.

Of course, progress is the goal for everyone going on a longer surfing trip. With professional help and guidance, this will come faster than you might think. Trying new waves and seeing different surf spots is great, but if you really want to improve the basics, then surfing the same spots can be very beneficial. The more you get to know the wave, the more you will catch and the more progress you will make.

Intermediate surf guiding at Toro Toro

What a great session this morning! Fun looking, shoulder to head-high waves were breaking perfectly over the reef at Toro-Toro. The A-Frame gives you a choice of going left or right and it helps to spread out the crowd a little.

This is a wave for everybody. Beginner, intermediate or advanced surfers, everyone can have fun out there. On big days it’s a very popular spot since the size of the waves doesn’t get too big and is still “user friendly” to ride. A great wave to start surfing outer reef breaks. The boat ride makes going there special and adds an adventurous touch to it. We highly recommend trying this surf spot, you will not forget the experience!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

When it comes to consistency, Uluwatu is hard to beat. The clean, long left-handers are peeling perfectly over the beautiful reef. Catching a wave here can be difficult due to the crowd, but once you get one, you most likely will remember it as one of the best rides you ever had.

On a day like today, with a medium-size swell this spot offers waves for almost every surf level. Intermediate and advanced surfers will have the most fun on a mid-tide. The many sections and peaks made the crowd split up a little and you can find the best suitable spot to catch waves for your ability. Professional guidance helps you find those spots and teaches you how to choose the best waves. Once you get to know Uluwatu and know how to surf it, it will be one of your favorite surf spots for sure.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

This beach is called “Dreamland” for a number of reasons. White sand, blue water, and great waves! This is a combination that is hard to beat. The surf spot offers plenty of waves for almost every surf level. Also for non-surfing beach goers, it is worth checking out.

On smaller days, beginner surfers can ride unbroken green waves while on bigger days, like today, the more advanced surfers will have a lot of fun. The user-friendly take-off and drop invite you to commit to paddling for bigger waves than you usually would. This is a wave where you can test your limits and see how big you can go. Enjoy the waves, the wipeouts, and the ice-cold coconut after the surf!

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Great waves this morning at Balangan! Shoulder to head-high sets came consistently and the offshore breeze made the waves stay open all the way to the inside. Long, clean rides are what you come for in Balangan.

The blue, crystal clear water and white sand beach make this place look even more breathtaking. This is one of our favorite surf spots and beaches to hang out. Intermediate surfers can get a taste of what it is like to surf more challenging waves while advanced surfers can really use different sections of the wave to practice turns and the occasional barrel ride.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Surfing great waves with a bunch of friends in the morning is definitely one of the best things you can do to wake up and start the day. The fresh off-shore breeze and warm water will get you going in no time. Once you see the first set rolling in, you are on high alert and ready to go.

The conditions were a little more challenging today than usual. The solid swell and constant current made it difficult to stay in position. Although, with a little more paddling power, catching the waves was not a problem at all. Due to the rainy weather, the crowd was light and gave us the opportunity to catch as many waves as we wanted. Breakfast was well deserved after a great morning session!

Advanced surf guiding at Balangan

Swell size was double overhead for 3 consecutive days, but has now dropped to a perfect fun size at most of the breaks. We decided on a trip to Balangan and again got the call right with perfect glassy waves. Balangan is a racy wave and there will always be a section that is too fast too make, but in perfect conditions like this, it is possible to get some very long rides. Balangan still retains that old worldly charm, and is a perfect place to drink a cold coconut before or after the surf session. Swell is forecast to pick up again tomorrow and there will be a nice medium sized swell for the next few days.

Advanced surf guiding at Padang Padang

When a big swell arrives, Padang-Padang shows its true face. This is what made this wave so famous – heavy barrels! On a lower tide, a must-go-to spot for professional and expert surfers only. It is also a great spot to watch if everywhere else should be too big for you to surf.

The perfectly breaking, hollow left-hander attracts many surfers from all over the world. Everyone in the line-up is on the hunt for one of these tubes. Getting one can be a difficult task, but once you do, you will never forget! It is a wave that demands respect and commitment. Pulling out from one of these waves when you paddle for it, is not an option. “Go big or go home” is the mindset you need to surf this wave.
