Intermediate and Advanced Surf Guiding and Lessons at Uluwatu, Bali

Our intermediate and advanced surf guiding group headed to Uluwatu at dawn today for their first session of the day where the sun was shining, the wind was nice and light and relatively thin crowds.

It’s a common misconception that surf lessons are mainly for beginners but the positional advice and coaching is hugely valuable at breaks like Uluwatu where the benefit of local knowlege equals a much higher wave count.

Swell height was similar to yesterday with waves ranging from chest high to overhead on the larger sets and everybody caught plenty of waves — especially those having lessons and benefiting from the guidance of their expert instructor.

Advanced Surf Guiding at Temple, Bali

A few days of favourable wind means that we’re back to breaks more commonly surfed in the dry season and that started this morning with a boat trip to Temple for our advanced surf guiding group.

Waves were glassy and breaking in the chest to overhead range — mainly lefts but with a few rights on offer too.

As well as guiding, some guests this morning were taking advantage of private lessons for that extra level of attention and our resident in-water photographer was on hand to capture all the action.

Beginner and Intermediate Surfing Lessons and Guiding at Geger Left, Bali

Our beginner and intermediates joined forces to surf at Geger Left for their first session of the day where the sun was shining and the wind was nice and light.

As the knee to chest-high waves peeled down the reef, many great rides were enjoyed and everybody had a fun session.

After breakfast the group moved down the road to the centre of Nusa Dua to surf at Black Stone and on the way passed our advanced surf guiding group who surfed twice at Geger Right.

Advance surf guiding at Geger left, Bali

Advanced groups were back in action at Geger Left again this morning for their first session of surf guiding and group/private lessons. As the name suggests, it was mainly left-handers breaking but there were some great rights coming through occasionally too.The waves are shoulder high to head high or overhead high on sets. Swell is similar than yesterday and conditions are clean with light offshore wind.  Perfect opportunity for advanced group to practice different surf maneuvers.

Intermediate and Advanced Surf Lessons and Guiding at Geger Left, Bali

Our intermediate and advanced groups were back in action at Geger Left again this morning for their first session of surf guiding and group/private lessons.

As the name suggests, it was mainly left-handers breaking but there were some great rights coming through occasionally too.

Wind was light and offshore before it began to pick up towards the end of the session and waves were a similar size to yesterday; breaking between chest and head-high on sets.

After breakfast the groups surfed again at Geger Left and elsewhere in the Nusa Dua area our beginners started their day at Mushroom Rock before surfing their second session at Black Stone.

Intermediate and Advanced Surfing Lessons and Guiding at Geger Left, Bali

This morning our intermediate and advanced groups ventured over to Geger Left at Nusa Dua for their first session of surf lessons and guiding for the day.

It was a bright and clear morning and the light offshore wind kept the waves super clean which were coming through in the chest to head-high range.

After stopping for a breakfast refuel, both groups surfed again at Geger Left while our beginner groups started their morning at Mushroom Rock and walked the short distance down the beach for their second sessions at Black Stone.

Intermediate and Advanced Surf Lessons and Guiding at Geger Left, Bali

Four vans full of excited surfers left from camp to spread themselves across the breaks of the Nusa Dua area again this morning. The first to stop were the intermediate and advanced groups who surfed Geger Left with the beginner groups continuing on to Black Stone for the second day in a row.

Waves were coming through this morning in the waist to shoulder-high range and, although the faces were a little choppy and closing out some of the time, everybody made the best of the conditions and took advantage of the increasingly uncrowded waves.
