Ability Level: Beginner

This morning our beginner group made the short journey to sunny Padang Padang beach for their first session of surf lessons.

It was a beautiful morning with conditions being just about perfect for learners with clean waves breaking around knee height.

After  a break, our beginners surfed again at Padang Padang for their second session whilst our intermediate/advanced group surfed at Greenbowl and Uluwatu

Even if the weather was a little gloomy this morning, there were smiles all round from our beginners as they headed to Balangan beach for their first session of group surfing lessons this morning.

The water was nice and quiet with other surfers and the learner-friendly knee-high waves were breaking cleanly.

After enjoying the early morning session, our surfers headed back to the surf camp for breakfast before their second session of the day at Padang Padang.

After a day of rain yesterday the sun was shining again today as our beginner and intermediate groups joined up to surf at Black Stone in Nusa Dua.

Conditions were clean with waves breaking in the knee to chest high range for the duration of the surf lessons and guiding session this morning.

After everybody was surfed out, they all headed back to camp to feast on delicious fresh tuna poke bowls and refuel for tomorrow.

It was a relatively late start for our beginner and intermediate group’s first session of the day today as they travelled to Balangan beach for group surf lessons and guiding.

The were party waves and smiles all around as our surfers worked on their popups and started making their first turns down the line in the late morning sun.

Waves were breaking in the knee to waist high range which is ideal for building confidence when you’re just getting started

This morning our beginner groups headed to Balangan beach for their group surfing  lessons.

Waves were typically coming through in the knee to chest-high range with a couple of larger sets, which the future big wave surfers among the group confidently took advantage of!

After a break between sessions, the groups stayed at Balangan for their second session of the day as it remained the ideal place to surf today based on the tide, wind and swell conditions.

After a couple of days out on the boat our beginner and intermediate groups got things started from dry land this morning with a trip to sunny Balangan beach for their first session of morning group surf lessons.

Waves were a little tricky — breaking quickly and not perfectly clean — but the group had lots of fun practising their popups and bottom turns.

Elsewhere at the surf camp our other beginners group surfed at Padang Padang for their two sessions, just a stone’s throw from the surf camp.

Our beginner and intermediate group were lucky enough to enjoy Toro Toro at dawn this morning for the second day in a row. The swell had dropped slightly overnight but the lower tide meant the super playful and glassy waves were still breaking in the waist to shoulder-high range.

After a while, our group was joined in the water by a couple of other boats of surfers but there were still loads of waves to go around and everybody got their fill of long rides before heading back to camp for breakfast.

This morning our beginners’ group travelled to Balangan — one of our local beaches and one of the most beautiful on the Bukit peninsular — for their first session of surfing lessons.

Winds were light and the sky was clear as the sun rose over Bali with the waves breaking at a perfectly beginner-friendly knee to chest-high.

Having expert guides who can pick conditions like this makes all the difference and, as you can see from the gallery, our surfers enjoyed many great rides in uncrowded conditions.
