Advanced surf guiding at Padang Padang
★★★★★
After two massive days at Uluwatu, the swell has dropped a little, and head-high to overhead sets came through consistently. Still solid, but possible to surf for the more experienced surfers. It takes commitment to go out in these conditions and it is important to know your limits.
With big waves like this, being patient and choosing the right wave is key to having a good and safe surf session. Wave reading skills get tested thoroughly. Knowing which wave to let through and which one to take can only be mastered over time and with experience. If the waves are too big, best to watch from the beach and study the sets. Also this way you can improve your wave reading skills and one day be ready for the big challenge.
