Surf camp. Surfing in Bali: schools and camps

27.02.2024

If during your next vacation you tried surfing and realized that a vacation without riding the waves no longer suits you, then it’s time to go on a surfing trip. Both surf camps and tours are an ideal choice, as they have a number of advantages:

As a rule, a surf camp has a pre-developed program: accommodation, meals, a schedule of surfing lessons and a schedule of all additional activities. This not only eliminates organizational issues, but also saves money, because... for group surfing tours prices are always lower than the cost of an independent trip;


Lessons with instructors or guiding. Even if you are already quite good at boarding and think that you don’t need lessons, the guide will be able to show you spots that a visitor would never find on his own, and will always be able to figure out a spot with the best conditions and the least number of people, which is especially important in places , where surfing tourism is actively developed;


A daily routine designed for surfers. Any surf camp lives according to a schedule tailored specifically to the needs of surfers, which is sometimes impossible on regular trips;



Surf camps almost always offer yoga or surf fitness classes, which will help you relax after surfing and stay in good shape to surf throughout the trip;


Even when you go on a surfing trip, you don’t lose the opportunity to get to know the country better. Although a surf trip is designed so that you spend as much time as possible in the water, there is always a chance to travel around and see local attractions.


Surf schools

Of course, surfing is a way of life and a philosophy, but still the sports component remains the main one. Therefore, when thinking about how to learn to surf, it is best not to follow the path of self-education, but to start taking surfing lessons from a professional instructor.

The surf school chooses the right time and place for lessons, which makes learning to surf safe, comfortable and most effective. A surfing instructor will not only competently teach all the necessary information, but will also help you avoid classic beginner mistakes and find a personal approach that matches your level of physical fitness. Most Go Surf tours provide surf lessons for people of varying skill levels. We are always happy to advise you on learning to surf anywhere in the world online or by phone at 8-926-072-88-72.
