Fun beginner surfing conditions this morning at the beautiful Padang Padang Beach! The waves were in the shoulder-high range, with mostly clean faces despite some initial chop caused by west winds overnight. The conditions cleaned up as the session progressed. The tide was good for both lefts and rights to break consistently along the reef, offering plenty of opportunities to practice.

Surfers focused on refining their pop-up and transitioning into the functional stance—an essential skill for progressing beyond the beginner stage. Mastering this allows for smoother rides with better control and speed from the top of the wave. See you out there!
