Activity: Surf Lessons

Our intermediate and advanced groups were back in action at Geger Left again this morning for their first session of surf guiding and group/private lessons.

As the name suggests, it was mainly left-handers breaking but there were some great rights coming through occasionally too.

Wind was light and offshore before it began to pick up towards the end of the session and waves were a similar size to yesterday; breaking between chest and head-high on sets.

After breakfast the groups surfed again at Geger Left and elsewhere in the Nusa Dua area our beginners started their day at Mushroom Rock before surfing their second session at Black Stone.

This morning our intermediate and advanced groups ventured over to Geger Left at Nusa Dua for their first session of surf lessons and guiding for the day.

It was a bright and clear morning and the light offshore wind kept the waves super clean which were coming through in the chest to head-high range.

After stopping for a breakfast refuel, both groups surfed again at Geger Left while our beginner groups started their morning at Mushroom Rock and walked the short distance down the beach for their second sessions at Black Stone.

This morning our intermediate group made the trip from Padang Padang across the Bukit peninsular to Mengiat Beach at Nusa Dua — just along from Black Stone where our groups have been surfing the past few days — for their first surfing lessons of the day.

Conditions were a little messy and it wasn’t the brighest of days but everyone had plenty of opportunitues to practice trimming along the waves and making their first turns.

After a break for breakfast our intermediates joined with the beginner groups to surf Black Stone while our advanced guiding group surfed twice at Geger Right.

This morning out beginners group headed to Black Stone at Nusa Dua for a combination of group, semi-private and private surfing lessons.

The group experienced the full range of Balinese weather during their session — from bright sunshine to torrential downpour — but enjoyed every minute.

Elsewhere at the surf camp today our intermediate group are also surfing at Nikko and Geger Left in the Nusa Dua area while our advanced guiding group are off adventuring in the Keramas area.

Four vans full of excited surfers left from camp to spread themselves across the breaks of the Nusa Dua area again this morning. The first to stop were the intermediate and advanced groups who surfed Geger Left with the beginner groups continuing on to Black Stone for the second day in a row.

Waves were coming through this morning in the waist to shoulder-high range and, although the faces were a little choppy and closing out some of the time, everybody made the best of the conditions and took advantage of the increasingly uncrowded waves.

It’s officially wet season as all four vans from surf camp headed over to Nusa Dua in search of great waves and favourable winds.

As you can see from the gallery, our beginners started at Black Stone where they will also surf their second session and waves were coming through in the knee to chest-high range with the offshore wind keeping everything nice and clean.

Our intermediate group started their day up the road at Geger Left before joining the others at Black Stone after breakfast and our advanced surf guiding surfed twice at Geger Right.

For the first session of the morning our advanced group headed to Greenbowl for surf guiding and private surf lessons.

Waves were coming through in the shoulder to head-head range with a few larger sets and had plenty of power — as is typical of the more exposed south coast breaks. The onshore wind resulted in some choppiness but everyone had a great session.

Elsewhere at the surf camp this morning two full vans of our beginners started their day at Dreamland and the intermediate group joined them a stone’s throw away at A-frame.

This morning our beginner group made the short journey of less than 1km to our local beach at Padang Padang for their group and semi-private surfing lessons.

The wind resulted in the waves not being as perfectly clean as they often are but conditions — breaking softly around knee-high — were still excellent for learning, as you can see from the great rides in today’s gallery.

Elsewhere at the surf camp, our advanced group surfed at Uluwatu for both sessions while the intermediate group started their day at Toro Toro before surfing their second session at Uluwatu.
