Ability Level: Beginner

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.

Another perfect start to the day with a great surf session this morning! The waves were very gentle and suitable for our beginner group who started catching the first green waves. This is something that should be done at a beginner-friendly surf spot as it is a big step towards the next surf level.

Getting the wrong waves or ending up in a dangerous situation can be frightening for some people. With the help of our professional surf instructors, you can be sure to be at the right place for your surfing skills. Of course, the waves can be unpredictable sometimes, but this is part of the experience and one reason why surfing is so exciting!

The swell has faded away a little and Baby-Padang has been playful again. Great shoulder-high waves were breaking in the beautiful bay this afternoon. Many surfers came to enjoy the waves and warm water. Also, a few sunseekers gathered on the beach to enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

This surf spot is a great choice when you want to improve your surfing skills. Progressing from a beginner to intermediate surf level, there is hardly a better place to do so. The mellow breaking waves are perfect to start surfing green waves and doing first turns. The big channel helps you to get back to the line-up quickly and catching a handful of waves every session is almost guaranteed.

The new swell has arrived and it brought massive waves with it. Padang-Padang was pumping this morning and many surfers got the waves of their lives. Although this wave clearly is not for everybody, the smaller, more user-friendly version of it called “Baby-Padang” was perfect for catching the first green waves.

Due to the big swell, there was a strong current which made it a little difficult to stay in the right place in the line-up. With local knowledge of our surf guides, this was no problem at all! It is important to know the currents and the surf spots very well on days like today. Especially at surf spots like Padang-Padang or Uluwatu. Having more knowledge about the waves and surf breaks will make you more comfortable in the water, have more fun, and progress quicker.
