Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Balangan did not disappoint as usual. We surfed shoulder-high, great waves all morning long. The moderate offshore wind helped the waves to stay open nicely and everyone had long, clean rides. Perfect conditions for our intermediate group to practice turns and generate speed.

This surf spot works best when the swell comes from the south. The more south, the better it gets, because the waves peel along the reef nicely and stay open much longer. Combined with the offshore wind conditions between July and September, it is one of the best and most consistent breaks in Bali. If you haven’t yet, we highly recommend coming here to enjoy the waves and beautiful beach!

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

The waves were amazing this morning at Padang Padang! Long, clean right-handers and only a few other people out. It wasn’t big but the sets had enough power and due to the mid-tide, the waves were breaking in a perfect shape.

Today and tomorrow, the swell stays pretty much the same size, but from Thursday, we expect the new swell to arrive and Uluwatu and Padang Padang will be on fire. Other spots like Toro Toro or Airport Rights will be our go-to places for our advanced groups and Jimbaran for our beginner and intermediate surfers. No matter if small or big waves, low or high tide, we also find the right spot for your surfing level.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

What a great start to the day this was at Uluwatu! Shoulder-high, clean waves, and just a few people out, this is what made everyone happy. It was fun at the racetracks section due to the lower tide. It is not an easy wave to surf, because the waves can be quite fast.

It is important to know how to generate speed down the line to be able to surf this wave. When the size of the waves is like today, it is perfect for intermediate surfers. With practice and guidance, you will be able to generate speed in no time. This is a basic skill everyone has to master, especially here in Uluwatu. No matter if you surf a shortboard or longboard, it’s a wave for everyone who likes to take on a new challenge.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Padang Padang, our home spot, is hugely popular among surfers in Bali. Not only because of the amazing waves but also because of its beach and flair. Beginner to advanced surfers will find great waves here and can have the sessions of their lives.

When the waves are small, beginner and intermediate surfers will have the best time while when it is big, the best surfers of Bali and the world travel to this spot to surf the infamous Balinese pipeline. Today, our intermediate group had a great session out there. Many waves were ridden and lots of progress was made. The conditions will be good throughout the day and everyone is excited to go out again after lunch.

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our advanced group had a great session today at Uluwatu! Clean, long left-handers were breaking consistently and the tide was just right. Most surfers went early in the morning today, but we chose to do our second session at Uluwatu just before lunchtime.

This way we were able to be in the water with fewer other people and had the chance to catch more waves. Just make sure you put enough sunblock on when you go around this time. The conditions are great all day long, but often, during this time it is less busy as most people surf in the morning and evening. When you know where and when to go, amazing waves can be found every day.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

A sunny day and everywhere you look are happy people with big smiles on their faces. For a good reason, the waves were great this morning! We had so much fun at Padang Padang that hardly anybody wanted to stop and have a break.

Luckily, the conditions this time of year are perfect in the afternoon and we will enjoy another session soon. With the bigger swell, many other surf spots work again. Uluwatu is pumping and spots like Balangan and Dreamland are head-high and a great option for our advanced surfers. Baby Padang is just the beginning, from here you can surf your way up to all the other great surf spots Bali has to offer.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

The offshore wind has been strong the last couple of days but here on the Bukit, this only means better waves! This morning, Dreamland was great at low tide. The A-frame in the middle of the beach was the best peak to go to. Fun right and left-handers broke consistently over the reef.

We expect the swell to get bigger throughout the day and look forward to scoring more perfect waves in the afternoon. This is one of the great things about the Bukit at this time of year, you can surf all day long to the offshore wind. Combined with crystal clear water and white sand beaches, it is no wonder that Bali is one of the best surf destinations in the world.

Intermediate surf guiding at Padang Padang

Another great session at Padang Padang for our beginner group! The waves were super fun the whole morning and everyone got long rides. The size of the swell was just right to feel the power of the waves and speed after popping up on the board.

With the right technique and turns, we were able to surf the waves until they disappeared close to the beach. These conditions are perfect to practice turning and trimming on the board. It is important to know so you can get the most out of your ride and enjoy the waves as long as possible. In the afternoon, the conditions will be very similar, but in the evening the new swell should arrive and we are excited for tomorrow!

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

On the island of Gods, we are blessed with warm weather and blue water year-round. Not only that but also great waves and beautiful beaches. Balangan is one of them, a beach that offers something for everyone. No matter if you surf or not, here you will be amazed by the scenery
and nature.

For surfers, this is one of the best places to learn and have fun at. The waves are perfect for intermediates when it’s small and advanced surfers when the waves get bigger. Today was great for our intermediate group. The gentle breaking peaks offered long and clean rides where you could practice turning very well. On Thursday a new, bigger swell will arrive and everyone is excited to explore more of the waves Bali has to offer.
