Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

A sunny day and everywhere you look are happy people with big smiles on their faces. For a good reason, the waves were great this morning! We had so much fun at Padang Padang that hardly anybody wanted to stop and have a break.

Luckily, the conditions this time of year are perfect in the afternoon and we will enjoy another session soon. With the bigger swell, many other surf spots work again. Uluwatu is pumping and spots like Balangan and Dreamland are head-high and a great option for our advanced surfers. Baby Padang is just the beginning, from here you can surf your way up to all the other great surf spots Bali has to offer.

Intermediate surf guiding at Padang Padang

Another great session at Padang Padang for our beginner group! The waves were super fun the whole morning and everyone got long rides. The size of the swell was just right to feel the power of the waves and speed after popping up on the board.

With the right technique and turns, we were able to surf the waves until they disappeared close to the beach. These conditions are perfect to practice turning and trimming on the board. It is important to know so you can get the most out of your ride and enjoy the waves as long as possible. In the afternoon, the conditions will be very similar, but in the evening the new swell should arrive and we are excited for tomorrow!

Beginner Surf Lessons at Jimbaran

The huge swell has fully arrived overnight and most of the surf spots on the Bukit are way too big to surf today. We decided to go to Jimbaran with our beginner and intermediate groups and it was great! Everyone was happy out there and surfed a lot of waves.

It is a very suitable beach to learn how to surf, but there are not always waves. Only when big swells arrive, this surf spot comes to life, and when it does shoulder-high sets are rolling in very consistently. This makes it a great spot to catch many waves and ride them as long as possible. The slow-breaking peaks are perfect to enjoy the ride and work on your surfing technique.

One good wave is all it takes to get you smiling for the rest of the day. Here at Padang Padang, you can be sure to get more than just one wave, enough to make you smile until your next surfing holiday.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Jimbaran

Jimbaran was our preferred option today to do the beginner lessons. The big swell made it clear that Padang Padang was not suitable today. To be honest, Jimbaran is not as pretty as Padang Padang beach, but the waves are super fun and perfect to learn on. Also, because the button is sand, it is very safe.

The wave breaks close to the beach and it is possible to walk out to the line up where you sit and wait for the waves. This makes it very suitable for beginners and also easy to catch many waves. If you get tired of paddling, simply walk back out. It is a playful surf spot when the waves are too big everywhere else and especially for children, it is great!

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Padang Padang, our home spot, was great today for the intermediate group. Shoulder high sets came in consistently and it was easy to get waves. Perfect to catch the first green waves and to start turning the board in one direction.

Once you start going left and right, along the face of the wave, it is a completely different experience. The feeling you get from surfing the unbroken wave is exciting and fun. While you are on the wave it is hard to think about anything else. Only the moment, here and now matters. After surfing a wave, the energy that goes through your body motivates you to catch more waves and keep going. That is the feeling we are all looking for!
