Our advanced surfers had an incredible morning at Uluwatu! The swell was pumping with consistent well-overhead sets pulsing through the lineup. Bali’s best surfers were out putting on a show with incredibly committed turns and skilful barrel rides. The group waited for the tide to be just right after breakfast before paddling out to the lineup. By then, the offshore wind had picked up to a moderate pace. The surfers pushed their boundaries, testing their skills and courage under the guidance of head coach Randy.

On days like these, securing a set wave can be challenging. With the help of an experienced surf guide, you can gain valuable experience in waves of consequence.

A new, powerful swell has arrived, lighting up the breaks on Bali’s coastlines. At Padang Padang, our beginner surfers enjoyed a very fun morning learning to surf at Bali’s best beginner wave! The waves were mostly about shoulder high, with a few larger set waves breaking farther outside. The wind was blowing lightly offshore, and the conditions were clean and fun. The rights were particularily good today, beaking at just the right pace for a surfer to learn to ride the waves with balance and control.

Later this afternoon, the conditions will be perfect for the famous left-hand barrels at Padang Padang. Head down the beach, grab a cocunut, and enjoy the show!

Fun waves this morning at Padang Padang! The swell has dropped to a very friendly size, with most of the waves in the shoulder-high range. The tradewind was blowing strongly, however, the offshore direction of the wind held up the waves for longer before breaking. Days like today are exactly what a new surfer needs to develop their surfing.

The surfers worked on getting into the functional stance directly from the pop-up, which is a key step towards progressing beyond a beginner level. Once you have developed the ability to ride the wave in the functional stance from the pop-up, you unlock a new level of control and confidence. See you out there!

Our advanced surfers are back at Impossibles this morning chasing those incredibly long rides the wave is known for. The swell has jumped to the 1.5x overhead range with some larger sets. The wind was blowing strong offshore, which held up the waves just a little longer. With careful wave selection and a bit of luck, the surfers were able to lock into some lengthy rides.

Impossibles is a fast, racy wave that is very picturesque. There are 3 separate peaks on this wide reef, breaking up the crowds. On the right conditions, with a good size swell and offshore wind, the sections can link up for the longest rides in Bali.

This morning, our beginner surfers rose to some inclement weather, but a bit of rain did not hold them back from having a great session. At Padang Padang, the waves were in the shoulder-high range with a few bigger set waves. The wind was blowing stronger than it normally does offshore. The lefts were particularly good this morning, providing a fast wall which reformed nicely into extended rides. The rights were still offering fun, easy rides. But, today was a day to go left.

The rain added a refreshing touch to the vibrant island, enhancing the lush greenery around the beach. Despite the weather, the energy was high, and everyone was enjoying the surf.

Our beginner surfers enjoyed a truly stunning morning out in the lineup! The waves were just the right size, the wind was blowing offshore, and the water was an inviting temperature. The surf was mostly in the shoulder-high range, with plenty of waves breaking both left and right. The rights offered a slow-moving, tapered wall to work with. The lefts required more speed to get down the line, yet the waves reformed nicely into extended rides.

The surfers focused on positioning their feet over the centerline of the surfboard, a critical element of the functional surfing stance. Once you are able to get your feet centred, your balance and control will improve dramatically.
