Activity: Surf Lessons

With plenty of swell still in the ocean, our beginner surfers headed to a more protected break for a fun session. The waves were about shoulder high, with just a touch of offshore wind blowing through the lineup. The sea state was calm, and the water was balmy. This right-breaking wave offered slow, easy rides, allowing the surfers plenty of time to catch the wave and get going down the line. The wave face had a user-friendly slope to it, which is excellent for learning to surf.

We have about a month left of the dry season. After this, we will enter the quiet season featuring light, variable winds and smaller swells.

Our beginner surfers had a fun session at Baby Padang this morning. With the swell dropping to shoulder-high after two days of bigger surf, the waves were just the right size for everyone to enjoy. The light offshore breeze and clear water made for perfect conditions. The rights offered mellow, easy rides, ideal for surfers just learning to control their surfboard. The lefts offered rides with a bit more speed, which morphed into longer waves for those who could make the reform section.

It was a great day for improving skills and having a blast in the lineup. Tomorrow is looking just as good. Come and join us!

Our group of beginner surfers had a great morning at Baby Padang. The surfers paddled out into fun-sized left and rights, eager to enjoy the thrill of harnessing the power of the waves. The surf was in the wist-high range with a few bigger sets, thanks to an incoming large swell. The August trade wind was ever present, blowing straight offshore into the waves. The sun was shining, the vibes were fun, and everyone had a great time.

The surfers worked on getting into the functional stance from the pop-up and the basics of turning, which are the first techniques that need to be learned once you are up and riding.

Our beginner surfers had a great morning surfing the slow, mellow waves at Dreamland. With plenty of swell still hanging around, our surfers stuck to the outside left, an easier wave compared to Dreamland’s well-known A-frame peak. The wind was light offshore, the sea state calm, and the conditions beautiful. The surfers worked on getting into the functional stance, which is a key skill set to learn when just beginning your surfing journey.

However, practice in the lineup alone isn’t enough to make real improvements quickly. Back at the surf camp, our surfers will review their session’s video with our head coach. He will analyze their performance and provide targeted feedback for further development.

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!

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.
