"I couldn't be more happy with my Bali experience. I learned to surf and I got to share it with you guys and gals. The camp was a safe and positive place to relax and do nothing, but get ready for the next session." Erek, USA September 2011
"I just wanted to write a quick note of thanks for the warm and gracious hospitality you showed me during my short but fantastic trip to your surf camp. I have to say, calling it a 'camp' seem to almost not quite do it the justice it deserves. I think 'retreat' is more fitting. You have done an absolutely tremendous job with the place and I must commend you both. Everything from the pleasant well kept clean rooms, to the great variety, not to mention quality of food served and the beautiful pool chill out area. Most of all though it was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by you and your great staff that made the holiday extra special for me. I thoroughly enjoyed every last minute of my stay and hope to return at the earliest opportunity." Gavin, Hong Kong September 2011
"I had a very pleasent stay at the surf camp and the owners, kitchen staff and surf guides were excellent. I hope to be back again next year some time." Noopy, Australia September 2011
"Thank you very much for a great few weeks . Certainly appreciated all the boys and staff hard work , great food and company." Rob, Australia, September 2011
"Thanks for the great surf experience as usual. Had a really good time." Peter, Canada September 2011
"I had such a great time at the camp with you and your crew. Will be coming back again!" Amy, Australia September 2011
"Thanks for a great stay and a big thank you to Ina for setting us up in some great accommodation in Ubud and her recommendations on where to eat and what to do. The whole experience was very positive" Monique, England August 2011
"Would just like to thank you and everyone at the camp for making my sister's and my stay just incredible. We had a brilliant time, and it was made by the environment we were surrounded by. The surf instructors were fantastic: so encouraging and helpful, full of fun and energy. Koyok's patience and sense of humour especially made all the failed attempts bearable and the successes even sweeter. The home you have created and share with us all is something special. I hope to return, and that you continue with your success and the enjoyment you glean from it never ends." Rebecca, England August 2011
"Thank you for another great stay at the camp. I had a wonderful time, great surf, good fun guests and excellent hospitality from yourselves and the other staff." Tammy, Australia June 2011
"I am so happy that I was referred to your surf camp. My 3 night stay there salvaged my first trip to Southern Bali and the chaos that is the Kuta / Seminyak beaches. Pictures don't do the oasis you have created justice. It was nice to go to a great bed after an exhausting day of paddling out. Koyok and Steamy were excellent instructors and all around good guys. Patient, great sense of humor and sharp eyes to point out what I was doing wrong. As a beginner surfer that has had lessons from various surf spots, I found their observations very helpful plus the small teacher / student ratio meant lots of one on one time. You two and Rob created a warm vibe from the moment that I arrived. For someone that has been on the road for a few months now, it was a really nice environment to be apart of." Carol, USA June 2011
"Thank you for another great stay at the camp. I had a wonderful time, great surf, good fun guests and excellent hospitality from yourselves and the other staff.I hope I may be able to come back sometime later in the year." Tammy, Australia May 2011
" Morgan and I had a fantastic time - you're fantastic! We are already tying to put together another trip and we will definitely be staying at the surf camp! Rob and Ina were fantastic, as well as all of the guides." Jon, USA May 2011
"I thought the camp was excellent, from my experience a much more luxurious experience than most around the world. Please pass on my regards to Ina who was an excellent host." Jason, Australia May 2011
"I had such a wonderful time last week at Padang Padang surf camp, that I have just booked to come back next month! You have such a great place there, I really enjoyed hanging out and reading by the pool, playing with Zoe, and of course, the surf! I have been out surfing once since I got home, but it was so choppy and horrible compared to Bali, and it was not the same without Koyok telling me "paddle faster faster!" Tammy, Australia April 2011
"A big thanks to you and Ina, your surf guides and all your camp staff who move so quietly behinds the scenes keeping everthing ticking along. We really enjoyed our time at Padang Padang!" Jo, Australia April 2011

"Thank you very much for the week in Bali. I had tons of fun. If only I have more peddle power, then I can have more fun. Your instructors are great, they certainly save me from currents and give me a helpful push. I am also very impressed by the diverse mix of students in the camp, some of them are certainly very smart guys in their own. So the dinner conversation has great depth. Overall a great experience. Definitely worth recommending to my friends!" David, Australia December 2010

to all your staff for making our recent stay so enjoyable. Ann and I

"I would like to thank you for the professionality and kindness of your surf school team. All you staff was very helpfull with me, we became friendly easier and i spent with them good time laughting in the water and outside. I have to thank you because you really care about the safety of surf, having in the water one istructor for at least two or three people, instead of other surf school who let you go in the rips and big sets with other 10 beginner and only two teacher. In these four days I spent having lesson my teacher was Gunung. I have to tell you that i can't pretend better from a teacher. He is really a hard worker, every moment in the water. He concentrate to let you do the best progress in less time, explaining the movement to correct mistake, looking the right position in the water in order to catch the best waves, and finally, guarantee for your safety looking at you in everey moment, always with a sincere smile on his face. I should be very thankfull to Gunung for the progress i made in my surfing. I hope that you take care about him, in order to continue to guarantee and high level standard of your surf class.
