Catching the first wave means catching an incredible new sensation. And in Bali, even those who have never surfed can do it. This island is unique both for its stunning nature and for its variety of boarding spots. Bali has a huge number of schools and coaches who will be happy to help you make your dream come true and learn to “catch the wave”. The most important thing is to choose good specialists, then after the first lesson you can already ride on the foam.
Have you always wanted to try something new and didn't know what exactly? Surfing is the best advice I can give you. It is also called "the sport of kings". The history of surfing began a hundred years ago in the Hawaiian Islands and has survived to this day. This sport cannot be compared with any other, it is unique. The main thing is not to be afraid of the ocean. There are a lot of Russian-speaking surf schools on the island of Bali, where you can learn to ride the board.
How to Find a Surf School in Bali: Tips
- In Kut, they are almost at every step, you can find them right on the street.
- There is now a lot of information on the Internet and social networks about each school.
- Don't start learning with the locals on the beach, they've turned it into a clean business without trying. They teach as they want, without much experience and appropriate education.
- Be sure to contact Russian surf schools to study in a language you understand.
Do not try to go out into the ocean on your own without skills, it is very dangerous. Even if you are not afraid of water, swim and snowboard very well, this does not mean that you can easily learn to surf without a coach from the very first day. At a minimum, you need to know the basics of ebb and flow in order to understand when and where to ride. As well as precautions, information about the current and the channel through which you can swim to a safe place in the ocean, understand the boards and much more.
In surf schools, you can take both individual lessons and group lessons. But if you found a school upon arrival and decided to take group training, then it is not a fact that this group will meet. Therefore, if you are traveling for the purpose of surfing, the best option is a surf camp, or as it is now fashionable to call a "surf camp". There are also a huge number of them on the island. They are good because upon arrival you have a ready-made training program that includes theory and practice in a group, and if you wish, you can add individual lessons. Also, the camps provide a tourist program that will dilute your training with exploring the island and an unforgettable vacation.
The season in Bali is all year round. However, there are heavy rains in January and February, so it is best to skip those months.
