Ability Level: Intermediate

This morning we went to Balangan. Normally on a smaller swell, we like to surf Uluwatu, but with such a high tide like today, there wouldn’t be much of a wave. Balangan then has a rippable wave that breaks nicely over the reef. Perfect for intermediate surfers who prefer not-so-corded line-ups.

The wave offers room for a turn, generating speed, or a floater at the end section if you time it right. In other words, a great place to practice all the fundamentals of surfing. Mastering the basics are key to a successful progression of your surfing skills. Get them right, and everything else will follow!

What a great afternoon session at Dreamland today! The waves were pumping and the crowd wasn’t bad at all. A moderate offshore breeze gave the waves a perfect shape. Down the line surfing and big turns are what everyone was aiming for.

The blue water and white sand beach make the experience even better. Hang out at one of the beach bars and enjoy an ice-cold coconut after surfing or just relax on one of the day beds. It is a great beach to bring your family to. Just watch out for the shore break, it can be quite heavy on a higher tide and bigger swell and many local kids love to surf it.

Practice, patience, and commitment are what it takes to progress in surfing. It can be hard at some point, but when you catch that one perfect wave, it was all worth it! It even gives you more motivation again to keep going and get better and better.

In Uluwatu, you can catch that one perfect wave. Not only that but you can also capture that special moment in a photo. It’s great as a memory but also to see yourself on the wave and you can learn from it. It will help you understand what can be improved on and what you are doing well. This is an important part of making progress and the next time you go surfing, you will be prepared to catch another perfect wave.

Surfing Uluwatu is on almost everyone’s bucket list when coming to Bali. Its famous left, perfectly breaking waves attract many people from all over the world. Uluwatu has waves for every surf level. Most and foremost advanced surfers are dominating the peaks, but when it is smaller, intermediate surfers also catch their waves.

This southerly exposed reef break gets a lot of swells and the waves hit the reef from deep water. This makes the waves powerful and fast-breaking. It can take some time to get used to the line-up and the different peaks, but once you do, it will be one of your favorite surf spots for sure. And if you are lucky, you might share the line-up with some of the best surfers in the world.

We are blessed to have so many great surf spots just a couple of minutes away from our camp. No matter what tide, wind direction, or swell size, there is always a fun wave to find. This afternoon, Balangan was the best choice to go. Offshore wind conditions shaped the waves perfectly.

Surfing with such a strong offshore wind can be difficult at first. The wind holds you back when paddling and often more commitment is required. Keeping the eyes open when catching waves is easier said than done. But once on the wave, you will be flying down the line. A great feeling that makes you want to catch more of those waves!

What a great session this morning! Fun looking, shoulder to head-high waves were breaking perfectly over the reef at Toro-Toro. The A-Frame gives you a choice of going left or right and it helps to spread out the crowd a little.

This is a wave for everybody. Beginner, intermediate or advanced surfers, everyone can have fun out there. On big days it’s a very popular spot since the size of the waves doesn’t get too big and is still “user friendly” to ride. A great wave to start surfing outer reef breaks. The boat ride makes going there special and adds an adventurous touch to it. We highly recommend trying this surf spot, you will not forget the experience!

When it comes to consistency, Uluwatu is hard to beat. The clean, long left-handers are peeling perfectly over the beautiful reef. Catching a wave here can be difficult due to the crowd, but once you get one, you most likely will remember it as one of the best rides you ever had.

On a day like today, with a medium-size swell this spot offers waves for almost every surf level. Intermediate and advanced surfers will have the most fun on a mid-tide. The many sections and peaks made the crowd split up a little and you can find the best suitable spot to catch waves for your ability. Professional guidance helps you find those spots and teaches you how to choose the best waves. Once you get to know Uluwatu and know how to surf it, it will be one of your favorite surf spots for sure.

This beach is called “Dreamland” for a number of reasons. White sand, blue water, and great waves! This is a combination that is hard to beat. The surf spot offers plenty of waves for almost every surf level. Also for non-surfing beach goers, it is worth checking out.

On smaller days, beginner surfers can ride unbroken green waves while on bigger days, like today, the more advanced surfers will have a lot of fun. The user-friendly take-off and drop invite you to commit to paddling for bigger waves than you usually would. This is a wave where you can test your limits and see how big you can go. Enjoy the waves, the wipeouts, and the ice-cold coconut after the surf!
