We had perfect conditions this morning out at Padang Padang! Our surfers enjoyed a calm sea state with playful peeling left and right-breaking waves with just enough steepness to keep you moving. As you can see from the photos, the glassy waves presented the perfect opportunity for our improving surfers to develop their balance and control of the surfboard.

When the waves are as calm and easy as they were today, a surfer can rapidly progress from the beginner stages. The slow, rolling waves allow the surfer to process how their inputs affect how the surfboard moves through the water. A surfer will soon understand and feel when they are standing too far back or too far to one side. With bigger and faster waves, it takes more reps to gain the same level of insight.
