Intermediate surf guiding at Padang Padang

A fresh, new swell is here, and the surf is getting bigger by the hour. Our beginner and intermediate surfers set off for Padang Padang in search of fun, long lefts and rights. The weather was mixed, with a shifting wind and cloud cover, yet the surf conditions remained clean. The waves were in the head-high range. The rights offered a better ride, delivering beautiful tapered lines- perfect for finding the functional stance. The rights broke at a faster pace, however, reformed into a friendly soft wave, great for those just learning the feel of how to turn the board.

Tomorrow and Wednesday will see large surf. Stay safe and know your limits!

More fun waves at Baby Padang this morning! There were a few big sets left over from the large swell, but the surf has mostly calmed down to a more user-friendly size. The waves were in the head-high range, with some overhead sets breaking further outside the lineup. The wind was light offshore, and the conditions were clean. Some surfers opted to stick to the white water, while the others sat outside the lineup waiting for the bigger sets. The surfers on the inside focused on their pop-ups and functional stance, while the surfers on the outside worked on confidence and control.

It is going to be another great day in the lineup tomorrow! See you out there!

The beginner surfers had a lovely morning out at Padang Padang! The surfers relished in the moment of the early morning near-full moon, still visible in the early morning light. The waves were mostly in the shoulder-high range, with a few larger sets breaking farther outside. The wind was light offshore, and the ocean was smooth. The rights were moving at a slower pace than the lefts. However, the lefts reformed nicely into longer waves. It was a beautiful morning in the lineup and the perfect way to spend the morning while on holiday.

Lots of swell on the surf forecast for the next few days. Stay safe and know your limits.

Another day of excellnt surfing conditions. Beautiful mornings with great waves are a highlight of surfing in Bali in May. The large swell on the surf forecast had not yet arrived, leaving us with easy beginner surfing conditions. The surfers thoroughly enjoyed the offshore wind, clean wave faces, and long rides that Padang Padang offered. The surfers worked on their functional stance- keeping their bodies centred over the centre line of the surfboard and keeping one arm over each rail for stability.

The swell will be picking up in size today as this new, powerful swell fills in. If you are not out in the lineup yourself, it will be great to view from the cliff at Uluwatu at sunset.

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.

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!

After a few days of wild weather and the complete silence of Nyepi, we are back at it with good conditions and sunshine! Our surfers were keen to get out there this morning as the conditions had cleaned up beautifully and the wind had turned offshore! There were plenty of waves thanks to a combination of swells in the water. The surf was in the head-high + range with a few larger set waves. The waves were breaking nice and slow- at the perfect pace for our beginner surfers to find their balance.

During Nyepi, we went over core techniques at the surf camp such as paddling, the pop-up, and the functional stance for developing surfers, so our beginners were prepared for the day ahead.

Fun beginner surfing conditions this morning at the beautiful Padang Padang Beach! The surf has picked up in size since yesterday, with the waves breaking up to shoulder-high in height. The wind from the west is blowing stronger today than yesterday, however the conditions were still clean. The tide was moving quickly today, which exposed the fresh surfers to the ever-changing nature of the ocean. The surfers all had a great time.

The surfers worked on getting into the functional stance from the pop-up, which is an essential step towards progressing beyond a beginner level. Once you have developed the ability to ride from the top of the wave in the functional stance, a new level of control and speed becomes available to you.
