What Our Previous Surf Guiding Guests Are Saying

Padang Padang surf camp exceeded my expectations! The run a first class operation. The staff treats you like family. The coaches are awesome! The food is 5 star, and the locations is great! They took us to all the best places to surf in the Bukit. Places I used to wish I could surf one day. The coaches are really good at assessing your level, knowing the breaks, and where the best place to take you is going to be. From beginner to advanced, I highly recommend this camp, no matter your level. My coaches really helped me take my surfing to the next level!

Reed, USA, 2021

The camp is not just for beginners though; although being probably the best place to learn and improve the basics it is also absolutely perfect for advanced surfers who will be taken out separately to the other groups and score the best waves of their lives with the essential local knowledge of the instructors; we’re talking beach breaks, reef, point breaks, barrels, 200m lefts, Uluwatu, Bingin, Impossibles, you name it you’ll surf it and with the locals with you, you aren’t getting out the water without having your fair share of waves!! It can’t be said enough that this camp is just as good for learners as it is for the more experienced surfer too.

Charlie, Australia, 2022

In my time at the camp, I have seen them take us to over 15 different breaks to create the best possible experience under all different conditions. I love the variety of experiences… paddling out at Airport Right (well north, off the Denpasar airport runway, accessed by boat) one day, Uluwatu the next, Impossibles the next, and Green Bowl after that (well south.) We dodge crowds, dodge days of huge crowds clubbing each other for scarce waves, and keep it fresh. Maybe after a year’s study, I could replicate the judgment they’ve built – but would I want to do the work. I enjoy relaxing, letting them handle it, and watching things work out beautifully.
