Intermediate surf guiding at Padang Padang

We have a lot of swell today with big waves breaking across the Island. Our intermediate surfers paddled out to Padang Padang, where they found overhead, fun waves, breaking in much safer conditions. The wind was blowing lightly offshore, which is the desired wind direction for optimal surfing conditions. The rights were breaking at a nice pace for developing control and confidence in the bigger surf. The lefts were breaking faster, and provided long rides for those able to trim or pump their boards for speed down the line.

We are in the full swing of dry season conditions now. The water is starting to get cooler, the wind is blowing relaibly offshore everyday, and the swells are getting larger.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Our beginner surfers enjoyed a fun session at Padang Padang this morning! The surfers braved an early morning rain shower, and were rewarded with excellent surf. The waves have dropped in size since yesterday, with the biggest of set waves around head-high. The wind was blowing lightly offshore. The waves were clean and fun, and were breaking in clean, long lines. The waves were moving at just the right pace for beginner surfing, with the rights moving at a slower pace than the lefts.

The surfers worked on learning to ride the waves in the functional stance, which is the key to surfing progression. Surfing with the functional stance is the key to making progress as a surfer. See you in the line-up!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Perfect surf at Uluwatu this morning! The waves were just the right size, the wind was light offshore, and the tide was in its ideal range, making a morning filled with waves to write home about. The sets all had several waves each, and there were plenty of smaller waves in between. The best of the rides linked up all the way to the big rock at the end of the reef!

The thing about Uluwatu is that even a small wave can run for hundreds of meters. The key is being able to select these waves from the mix, and being in the right spot at the right time. These are things you will learn when you surf with us. See you out there

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Our beginner surfers enjoyed a fun morning out in the line-up. Despite the stiff offshore breeze, our surfers all had a great time and got plenty of waves! The surf was in the head-high range with a few larger set waves. The long-period swell and the stronger wind blowing against the waves meant for long rides with open wave faces. The surfers worked on getting to their feet in control of their surfboard, and on-time, in the challenging conditions.

When the conditions are tougher, your technique, or lack thereof, really comes to the forefront. Days like these are helpful to make clear what aspects of surfing you need to improve upon and what you do well. See you in the line-up!

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Fun waves at Balangan this morning! We enjoyed a mix of light rain and sunshine with plenty of waves to go around. The surf has picked up in size since yesterday, with some overhead set waves coming in. Our surfers stuck to the middle peak, which featured waves that were just a little smaller than the main peak. The wind was light and variable through the session, fluctuating between offshore and onshore. The faces of the waves remained clean, and the lines broke swiftly down the line. This gave the surfers a fun, medium-length ride

Now is the perfect time of the year for catching your first wave or restarting your surfing journey. The waves are just the right size, and the conditions are warm and inviting.

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

The first big swell of the dry season arrived in time for sunset last night. This morning, the swell had dropped in size to the double overhead range, making for exciting surfing at Bali’s premier surf break- Uluwatu. We had some mixed weather this morning with a wind that kept changing directions. This caused a mixed sea state with bumpy waves, however there were plenty of waves that lined up nicely with clean enough faces.

The long, perfect lines may look inviting to inexperienced surfers, but the reality is that waves of this size are challenging. For advanced surfers, these waves are a real treat with many long rides and the occasional barrel. For less experienced surfers, there are plenty of protected spots to surf.

Small wave fun at Balangan! It was a beautiful morning with the sun shining and clean conditions. Today, our beginner surfers enjoyed the opportunity to try a different break which is a level up in difficulty but very rewarding. The surf was about the same size as yesterday but the conditions were cleaner with an offshore wind and glassy wave faces. The waves were breaking perfectly along the reef at a beginner-friendly size.

Balangan has something for every surfer on their day. When small like today, it is the perfect platform for a beginner to grow beyond the sheltered cove at Padang Padang. On a head-high day, it is an intermediates’ playground with long, easy lefts. On A big day, there are barrels for the experts.
