Bali Surf Guiding Reports

Our intermediate and advanced groups were back in action at Uluwatu again this morning for their first session of surf guiding and Group lessons.

Waves were breaking in the waist to shoulder-high range and the wind was light — resulting in some nice clean waves for our surfers to practice their turns on.

Elsewhere at the surf camp this morning our Beginners group enjoyed their surf lessons at Padang padang this morning. Fun and chill. It was a great surfing session.

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.

This morning our intermediate group headed to Geger Left in Nusa Dua for their first session of group lessons and surf guiding.

Waves were breaking in the waist to shoulder-high range and the wind was light — resulting in some nice clean waves for our surfers to practice their turns on.

For once the were just as many right-handers as there were lefts keeping both the regular and goofy-footers happy.

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.

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.

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.

Our intermediate group were back at Geger Left this morning for their first session of group surf lessons and guiding.
