Excellent surfing conditions in Nusa Dua this morning! Our intermediate group enjoyed the clean peaks at Black Stone, while our advanced group scored long right-handers at Chicken Wings. The rain overnight left the ocean with a smooth sea state and glassy waves for the surfers to enjoy. At Black Stone, the waves were shoulder-high plus with the occasional standout set, brought in by a swell of 3.5 ft. at 14 seconds. The surfers worked on developing drive from their bottom turns, which they used to propel themselves down the line and set up for a cutback.

The bottom turn is the foundation of good surfing as it is where you generate the speed and control required to do a top turn or drive down the line. Days like today, where the waves are not too big with smooth conditions, are perfect for improving your bottom turn.
