Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Another great session at Padang-Padang went down this morning. Plenty of waves have been surfed and many improvements have been made by our students. The photo review the day before had a positive impact on the performance in the water.

Surfing is one of these sports where you constantly get better if you do it regularly. You will never stop learning new things and improving your wave reading skills and surfing techniques. This is why it never gets old or boring. Every session can get you closer to your goals and you never exactly know what will happen. You might get the wave of your life or see amazing wildlife in the ocean. You never know until you go!

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

What a lovely day so far! We have already two surf sessions behind us and a very helpful photo review to identify where improvements can be made. Padang-Padang is perfect for learning the basics and focusing on surf techniques.

The waves give you enough time to think about the next step and won’t throw you off the board immediately. This helps immensely to improve pop-up, foot positioning, and balance on the surfboard. In the photos, you can clearly see what went well and where you can improve. Our professional surf instructors point out issues to focus on in the next session so that you can get the most out of the surf lessons.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang 

In Bali, every day you can try and experience something new and exciting. Surfing should be on top of your list if it isn’t already! It is super fun and a great way to exercise. Not only that, but it is also a way to connect with the nature around you.

Surfing will show you what’s out there in the ocean and lead you to places you have never been before in your life. Some are so amazing that you won’t want to leave again. Bali is a good example of one of those places. Its waves, culture, and people are some of the many reasons why people love it so much.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Jimbaran

The new swell has arrived and we decided to go to Jimbaran with our beginner group. The waves were perfect and super fun to play with. As this is a beach break, it is also very safe to get the first experience on a surfboard. An aspect that is very important to us!

Getting the basics right and a feeling for the waves and equipment is equally important. Only then you can really feel comfortable in the water and enjoy this sport to the fullest. With the help of our professional surf instructors, you will be learning these things in no time and have fun from the very beginning. From here on it will only get better!

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang 

The new swell has not fully arrived yet this morning. This gave our beginner group the chance to enjoy our home spot Padang-Padang one more time before it gets too big. Glassy conditions, long waves, and not too many people made everybody happy.

When you start surfing, you want to try on a safe and easy spot first. Get used to the new element you are in, the equipment, and the techniques. Baby-Padang is perfect for that. It provides a safe and fun environment to enjoy your first surfing experience. Although surfing might look easy, learning with one of our professional surf instructors is highly recommended!

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

We had a great, uncrowded morning surf today at Balangan. A more than welcome change to the hectic spots in the south of the Bukit. The conditions were not the cleanest this time due to the high tide, but the lack of other people in the water made up for it.

Many waves were caught and everyone was well exhausted after the session. The swell was dropping again a little today, but we expect the new swell to arrive very soon. Tomorrow, surely bigger waves will be on offer and we will explore other, more sheltered surf spots again. Uluwatu will be huge and places like Honeymoon and Toro-Toro will be the best choice for our intermediate and advanced groups.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang 

What a wonderful morning session it was today! The clear sky, clear water, and perfect waves made our start to the day special. Great waves were surfed from our students and everyone finished the session with a smile on their faces.

The incoming sets had the perfect size to get a bit more comfortable surfing more powerful waves. There is a very big swell coming on Tuesday, but until then we will enjoy the waves around Uluwatu. When the new swell hits we will go to spots like Toro-Toro, Jimbaran, and Honeymoon again to avoid the massive waves.

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

The waves got bigger again and Uluwatu delivered as usual. Glassy, head-to overhead sets came in all morning. It is really astonishing how good and consistent this surf spot is. It hardly ever goes completely flat and even if it gets small, the waves are still fun and rippable.

On days like today, when there is a solid swell, Uluwatu offers some of the best waves on the Island. Clean walls and long rides provide opportunities for turns, airs and of course, barrels! The perfect spot to practice all kinds of maneuvers or just simply have fun getting the waves of your life. A truly unique place to surf and an unforgettable experience.

Intermediate surf guiding at Padang Padang

Padang-Padang was super fun this morning! Not as packed as usual due to the smaller swell but the waves were still great and offered perfect little barrels. It was a great session for everyone who dared to take off in shallow water.

The more advanced surfers could enjoy the Balinese pipeline whilst the beginner and intermediate surfers had fun at Baby-Padang on the other side of the channel. Not as famous as its big brother but as fun for sure if you don’t need to stand tall in a barrel. It is a great little playground for all kinds of surfers. Also, kids can have their first surfing experience without having their parents worried about a sharp reef or big waves.
