Activity: Surf Guiding

When it comes to consistency, Uluwatu is hard to beat. The clean, long left-handers are peeling perfectly over the beautiful reef. Catching a wave here can be difficult due to the crowd, but once you get one, you most likely will remember it as one of the best rides you ever had.

On a day like today, with a medium-size swell this spot offers waves for almost every surf level. Intermediate and advanced surfers will have the most fun on a mid-tide. The many sections and peaks made the crowd split up a little and you can find the best suitable spot to catch waves for your ability. Professional guidance helps you find those spots and teaches you how to choose the best waves. Once you get to know Uluwatu and know how to surf it, it will be one of your favorite surf spots for sure.

This beach is called “Dreamland” for a number of reasons. White sand, blue water, and great waves! This is a combination that is hard to beat. The surf spot offers plenty of waves for almost every surf level. Also for non-surfing beach goers, it is worth checking out.

On smaller days, beginner surfers can ride unbroken green waves while on bigger days, like today, the more advanced surfers will have a lot of fun. The user-friendly take-off and drop invite you to commit to paddling for bigger waves than you usually would. This is a wave where you can test your limits and see how big you can go. Enjoy the waves, the wipeouts, and the ice-cold coconut after the surf!

Great waves this morning at Balangan! Shoulder to head-high sets came consistently and the offshore breeze made the waves stay open all the way to the inside. Long, clean rides are what you come for in Balangan.

The blue, crystal clear water and white sand beach make this place look even more breathtaking. This is one of our favorite surf spots and beaches to hang out. Intermediate surfers can get a taste of what it is like to surf more challenging waves while advanced surfers can really use different sections of the wave to practice turns and the occasional barrel ride.

Swell size was double overhead for 3 consecutive days, but has now dropped to a perfect fun size at most of the breaks. We decided on a trip to Balangan and again got the call right with perfect glassy waves. Balangan is a racy wave and there will always be a section that is too fast too make, but in perfect conditions like this, it is possible to get some very long rides. Balangan still retains that old worldly charm, and is a perfect place to drink a cold coconut before or after the surf session. Swell is forecast to pick up again tomorrow and there will be a nice medium sized swell for the next few days.

When a big swell arrives, Padang-Padang shows its true face. This is what made this wave so famous – heavy barrels! On a lower tide, a must-go-to spot for professional and expert surfers only. It is also a great spot to watch if everywhere else should be too big for you to surf.

The perfectly breaking, hollow left-hander attracts many surfers from all over the world. Everyone in the line-up is on the hunt for one of these tubes. Getting one can be a difficult task, but once you do, you will never forget! It is a wave that demands respect and commitment. Pulling out from one of these waves when you paddle for it, is not an option. “Go big or go home” is the mindset you need to surf this wave.

Wow, what an amazing start to the day this was this morning! Perfect, light offshore wind conditions and head-high sets were on offer at Green Bowl. Due to the slightly bigger swell, not many people were out in the line-up. We made the right decision going there and everyone scored great waves!

This beach is surrounded by stunning nature, the white sand beach and high cliffs are gorgeous to look at. The two caves, close to the ocean, provide a very welcoming place to cool off when it gets too hot on the beach. From there you have the perfect view of the waves and can watch surfers get the rides of their lives. If Green Bowl is not yet on your bucket list, it is time to put it on there!

The waves were great this morning at Uluwatu! Glassy, super clean conditions, and a light crowd. made it very enjoyable in the early hours. Surfing this spot is always a challenge. Not only to read the waves properly but also to navigate the line-up. You need to put some time and effort in to really get to know the many peaks Uluwatu has.

A professional guide can help you with that. Positioning is key and knowing which wave will break best can be hard at first. This is all part of the learning experience, with enough time and the right guidance though, this is no problem at all. Once you figure out the wave, you really get the most out of your surf sessions. Even though it can get very busy, one or two great waves at Uluwatu can make your day!

Uluwatu is on many surfers’ bucket lists. For good reasons, it is one of the best and most famous waves in the world! Surfing here is an unforgettable experience. The scenery and nature around this surf spot are breathtaking. The long, clean left-breaking waves are great for many surf levels.

Not always it is just for expert surfers, when the waves are small and the conditions are right, also intermediate surfers can get a taste of what it’s like to surf this wave. Yes, it gets crowded on days like today, but with the guidance of our local surf instructors, you can be sure to catch many good waves. It is addictive, fun, and challenging at the same time. Be aware though, that it is not uncommon that some sets are bigger than it looks from above.
