Activity: Surf Lessons

In Bali, every day you can try and experience something new and exciting. Surfing should be on top of your list if it isn’t already! It is super fun and a great way to exercise. Not only that, but it is also a way to connect with the nature around you.

Surfing will show you what’s out there in the ocean and lead you to places you have never been before in your life. Some are so amazing that you won’t want to leave again. Bali is a good example of one of those places. Its waves, culture, and people are some of the many reasons why people love it so much.

The new swell has not fully arrived yet this morning. This gave our beginner group the chance to enjoy our home spot Padang-Padang one more time before it gets too big. Glassy conditions, long waves, and not too many people made everybody happy.

When you start surfing, you want to try on a safe and easy spot first. Get used to the new element you are in, the equipment, and the techniques. Baby-Padang is perfect for that. It provides a safe and fun environment to enjoy your first surfing experience. Although surfing might look easy, learning with one of our professional surf instructors is highly recommended!

What a wonderful morning session it was today! The clear sky, clear water, and perfect waves made our start to the day special. Great waves were surfed from our students and everyone finished the session with a smile on their faces.

The incoming sets had the perfect size to get a bit more comfortable surfing more powerful waves. There is a very big swell coming on Tuesday, but until then we will enjoy the waves around Uluwatu. When the new swell hits we will go to spots like Toro-Toro, Jimbaran, and Honeymoon again to avoid the massive waves.

What is the best age to start surfing? The earlier the better we say! Padang-Padang is perfect for children to have their first surfing experience. The small, gentle waves are rolling in perfectly and the big channel makes it easy to get back out to the waves.

Safety first is our highest priority when it comes to teaching the young ones. Professional surf instructors help to catch waves and stay safe in the water. On days like today, with sunny weather and blue water, surfing with family and friends is one of the best and most fun activities you can do in your holidays. Guaranteed you will want to come back and try it again!

Another sunny day in paradise with great waves and crystal clear water. It is hard not to be amazed by the white sand beaches and breathtaking nature surrounding them. Surfing in such places really feels special.

Padang-Padang is definitely one of those places where you don’t want to leave too quickly. After a great surf session, you can enjoy the beach with an ice-cold coconut and relax. Watching the monkeys play around is always good fun too. It’s a great beach to surf, swim or just hang out with friends and family.

The large swell arrived this morning and we decided to go to Jimbaran where the waves were much smaller and very suitable for our beginner group. Hip-high waves break gently in the southern end of this bay and an easy paddle out helps to get into the line-up without much effort.

It is a great wave to practice the fundamentals like paddling, pop-up, and positioning on the surfboard. When taking a break on the beach, you can visit the local fish market to see what the ocean has to offer for lunch or dinner. Although the waves are not as huge as in Uluwatu, going to Jimbaran for surfing is always fun and exciting, especially for our beginner and intermediate surfers.

The weather wasn’t the best this morning, but the good waves made up for it. Once you are in the water you don’t mind the rain or cloudy sky. It can actually be very calming and enjoyable when you are not getting roasted by the sun every day.

The waves were very enjoyable anyway and everyone had a blast out there. Slowly the swell is picking up and we expect bigger waves from tomorrow onwards for the rest of the week. Padang-Padang will soon be too big and we are excited to go to other spots like Toro-Toro and Honeymoon again. Getting to know different kinds of waves is an important aspect of learning how to surf. It will improve your wave reading skills and understanding of how certain surf breaks work.

What an amazing surf session we had this morning at our home spot Padang-Padang. The water was crystal clear, the sun was shining and everyone had a smile on their faces. This is what happiness looks like in Bali.

Shoulder-high sets came in consistently and the crowd was spread around the peak evenly. Everyone got their share of good waves and the opportunity to practice take-off and turning. Going along the unbroken face of the wave is one of the best feelings one can have. Once experienced, you definitely will want more and more.
