Bali Surf Lesson Reports

This morning out beginners group headed to Black Stone at Nusa Dua for a combination of group, semi-private and private surfing lessons.

The group experienced the full range of Balinese weather during their session — from bright sunshine to torrential downpour — but enjoyed every minute.

Elsewhere at the surf camp today our intermediate group are also surfing at Nikko and Geger Left in the Nusa Dua area while our advanced guiding group are off adventuring in the Keramas area.

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.

It’s officially wet season as all four vans from surf camp headed over to Nusa Dua in search of great waves and favourable winds.

As you can see from the gallery, our beginners started at Black Stone where they will also surf their second session and waves were coming through in the knee to chest-high range with the offshore wind keeping everything nice and clean.

Our intermediate group started their day up the road at Geger Left before joining the others at Black Stone after breakfast and our advanced surf guiding surfed twice at Geger Right.

For the first session of the morning our advanced group headed to Greenbowl for surf guiding and private surf lessons.

Waves were coming through in the shoulder to head-head range with a few larger sets and had plenty of power — as is typical of the more exposed south coast breaks. The onshore wind resulted in some choppiness but everyone had a great session.

Elsewhere at the surf camp this morning two full vans of our beginners started their day at Dreamland and the intermediate group joined them a stone’s throw away at A-frame.

This morning our beginner group made the short journey of less than 1km to our local beach at Padang Padang for their group and semi-private surfing lessons.

The wind resulted in the waves not being as perfectly clean as they often are but conditions — breaking softly around knee-high — were still excellent for learning, as you can see from the great rides in today’s gallery.

Elsewhere at the surf camp, our advanced group surfed at Uluwatu for both sessions while the intermediate group started their day at Toro Toro before surfing their second session at Uluwatu.

This morning, our intermediate and beginner groups joined up the same location — Dreamland beach — for their first session of group and private surfing lessons.

It’s clear from the photos what great progress everyone is making and they all had a great session enjoying the clean and learner-friendly waves that were breaking in the waist to shoulder-high range on sets.

After breakfast back at the surf camp, both groups met again to surf at Padang Padang, while our advanced guiding group caught the boat to Middle Reef at dawn before surfing Uluwatu for their second session.

It was the turn of our intermediate group for a boat ride today with their first session of morning lessons and surf guiding scheduled at surf camp favourite Toro Toro.

Waves were super clean and breaking in the waist to shoulder-high range as they peeled right into the channel.

Elsewhere at the surf camp our advanced guiding group surfed at Temple again, while our beginner and other intermediate groups surfed at Dreamland.

After an overnight downpour the skies cleared to reveal a beautifully clear and still mornining which resulting in some perfectly glassy and clean waves at Dreamland beach.

Our beginner and intermediate group were all making some great progress in the waves which ranged from waist to head-high on sets. Everybody caught lots of waves and fun times were had by all.

Elsewhere at surf camp the advanced group caught the boat to Temple for their first session and our intermediate/advanced group surfed at Geger Left over in Nusa Dua.
