Beginner Surfing in Bali

This morning our beginners group continued to improve their skills and have fun while having surf lessons at Padang Padang beach. Conditions are nice today, fresh offshore wind in the early morning and waves are waist high to chest high or shoulder high on some sets. With detailed guidelines and assistance provided by our surf instructors together with passion of our learners about surfing, their skills improvement will not keep itself waiting. That is why our surf lessons is the most practical and effective way to learn surfing.

Slightly tricky conditions met our beginner and intermediate surfers this morning at our local beach of Padang Padang for their group and private lessons. Waves were breaking slightly faster than usual and there was a little current to contend with, but with the help of their expert instructors, it didn’t phase anybody and they all had a great session.

Our beginners were surfing the smaller, knee to waist-high waves next to the channel on the inside and the intermediates were taking on the larger — up to head-high — waves farther out to sea.

Elsewhere at the surf camp, our other groups headed out on the boat at Toro Toro this morning before everybody returned to the camp for lunch.

For the second session of the camp’s group and private lessons this morning, our beginner and intermediate surfers headed down to our local break at Padang Padang.

Swell height was in the knee to chest range for this session with a couple of larger sets that arrived and, although the onshore wind wasn’t the lightest, it still allowed for clean surfing conditions.

The crowds weren’t as thin as they were for the early morning session but with expert tuition and wave selection from our highly experienced surf instructors, everybody managed plenty of rides and both groups were making some great progress.

Our beginner and intermediate groups headed to Balangan beach again this morning for their group and private surf lessons where the waves were breaking between waist and shoulder-high with a couple of occasional larger sets.

The crowds were thin and our students had the middle of the beach to themselves for much of the session, which meant there were plenty of waves to go around and the maximum potential for making improvements.

As you can see from today’s gallery, everybody caught lots of waves and had a great time in the Bali morning sun.

This morning, our beginner surfers headed the very short distance down the road to our local break of Padang Padang for their first session of group and private lessons.

Padang Padang is a great wave for learning to surf as the forgiving waves peel along the soft, seagrass-covered reef and into the channel where the waves don’t break — the perfect place to catch your breath before heading back out for your next wave.

This morning waves were breaking in the waist to chest-high range and everybody had loads of fun before heading to Dreamland after breakfast for their second session of the day.

This morning our beginners headed the short ride down the road to Dreamland beach for their group and private surfing lessons.

It was a beautiful sunny morning and after some initial instruction on the beach, everybody ventured out into the water to start their surfing journeys in Dreamland’s soft and friendly waves.

Elsewhere, our intermediate and advanced surfers started their day back at Greenbowl and everybody met up back at the camp to exchange tales of their morning surf adventures over their delicious breakfasts.

We were expecting some wet season winds this morning but when they never arrived, our beginner group changed their plans and enjoyed the shorter ride to beautiful Balangan beach for a sunny morning of group, private, and semi-private surfing lessons.

Waves were in the knee to waist-high range this morning and perfectly clean and glassy — exactly what you need for building confidence and progressing from riding straight in the white water to making your first turns down the line.

Our beginner group stayed local this morning for their first session of group and semi-private lessons as they surfed less than 1km away from the camp at Padang Padang beach.

Wave height was a similar size to yesterday with sets coming through in the knee to waist-high range.

It might be late November but it’s still dry and sunny here in paradise and our guests are enjoying the fact that there are fewer people in the water and more waves to go around.
