Ability Level: Beginner

The new big swell arrived this morning and Padang Padang was on fire. While some of the best surfers of Bali and the world surfed massive barrels at the Padang Padang Cup, our intermediate group enjoyed hip-high waves at Jimbaran.

It doesn’t look as spectacular as seeing someone deep in the tube, but what counts most is the fun you have while riding the wave. There is no point in surfing waves that are out of your comfort zone or ability level. Staying safe and being able to make progress while surfing is what we are looking for when choosing surf spots. This way you can fully enjoy the surf session and concentrate on improving your surfing skills.

Jimbaran was perfect today for our beginner group! The gentle waves and sandy bottom provide a great learning environment. To make your first experience as a new surfer, it is important to go to a surf spot where you are safe at all times.

Learning with a professional surf school or camp is highly recommended. The instructors will show you everything you need to know to stay safe and enjoy the surf lessons. Only then will you be able to make progress and have fun in the water. Tomorrow the swell will drop again and we will be doing our lessons at Padang-Padang, our home spot.

Great waves have been surfed today and our beginner group had a blast out at Padang-Padang. The incoming sets were shoulder to head high and broke very gently over the beautiful reef. Perfect to start catching the first green waves on your own.

With the Padang-Padang cup around the corner, many surfers make their way to the Bukit. A massive swell is expected to come on Thursday and the contest could potentially be on. It surely will be too big for us to surf at Padang-Padang, but watching the local and international pro surfers getting barreled is also a great experience. Don’t miss out on this spectacular event!

Another great session at Padang-Padang went down this morning. Plenty of waves have been surfed and many improvements have been made by our students. The photo review the day before had a positive impact on the performance in the water.

Surfing is one of these sports where you constantly get better if you do it regularly. You will never stop learning new things and improving your wave reading skills and surfing techniques. This is why it never gets old or boring. Every session can get you closer to your goals and you never exactly know what will happen. You might get the wave of your life or see amazing wildlife in the ocean. You never know until you go!

What a lovely day so far! We have already two surf sessions behind us and a very helpful photo review to identify where improvements can be made. Padang-Padang is perfect for learning the basics and focusing on surf techniques.

The waves give you enough time to think about the next step and won’t throw you off the board immediately. This helps immensely to improve pop-up, foot positioning, and balance on the surfboard. In the photos, you can clearly see what went well and where you can improve. Our professional surf instructors point out issues to focus on in the next session so that you can get the most out of the 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 arrived and we decided to go to Jimbaran with our beginner group. The waves were perfect and super fun to play with. As this is a beach break, it is also very safe to get the first experience on a surfboard. An aspect that is very important to us!

Getting the basics right and a feeling for the waves and equipment is equally important. Only then you can really feel comfortable in the water and enjoy this sport to the fullest. With the help of our professional surf instructors, you will be learning these things in no time and have fun from the very beginning. From here on it will only get better!

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!
