Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Our west wind has shifted to the south this morning, leaving the entire Bukit with onshore or side-shore conditions. You can generally count on the conditions to always be clean somewhere on the island. The wind swell we are left with has continued to fade, showing 3 ft. at 10 seconds from 203 degrees. Our beginner surfers surfed the protected waves at Baby Padang, where they found shoulder-high peelers with the occasional larger set wave.

Our surfers used the small conditions to focus on the fundaments of surfing. This includes how to correctly position your body when paddling and where to correctly place your feet when standing up. With a smaller wave, the process of getting to your feet is slower, which allows the surfers to more efficiently process how their body movements affect the flow of the surfboard through the water.
