A typical day
Most mornings, you wake up early and you’ll find sleepy, friendly faces in the common area snacking on bananas and fresh coffee, ready for a morning of surfing. Of course, the time depends on the swell and the tide, but Seaside Tribe let you know the day before (unless you’ve decided to take a day to sleep in!).
You’ll make the most of the waves, surfing until you are tired and happy, usually stopping for a refreshing young coconut on the beach or some Nasi Campur (delicious mixed rice!) from the Warung.
If your session has been filmed, you’ll come back and watch the video together, sharing tips and tricks on how to improve your technique for the next surf session. From there, it’s up to you! You can laze by the pool, take a nap in your room, enjoy some food together in the common area, or head out to explore the beautiful areas surrounding Kedungu.
There will be no activities on the arrival and departure day. Some nights, Seaside Tribe offers family dinners that you can choose to come to (or not). The most important thing in a typical day at Seaside Tribe is that you feel at home. Seaside Tribe can’t wait to welcome you!
How the surf sessions are organized?
Seaside Tribe usually surfs at the home break (Kedungu Beach) or in the approximate area. If you are looking for a surf camp that is driving to lots of different spots every day, they might not be your best choice, as they prefer it chilled and local.
But sometimes, if conditions are not so good in the area, they will travel to other spots. The team will make sure to choose the best time for surfing, therefore they can set the time only one to two days in advance.
The surf lessons are group classes but to guarantee a safe and efficient learning environment, the team always teaches with a 2:1 student-to-instructor ratio. And as every person's ability is individual, they divide lessons into different levels. The sessions will take 1.5 - 2 hours in the water, the time in the water depends on your physical condition, however is limited to 2 hours maximum.
Surf spot
The main surfing point of Kedungu Beach is an easy, mellow reef break with a left- and right-hand wave. On smaller days, perfect for longboarding or cruising your fish tail board, on bigger days, it can show some size and create fun waves for the more advanced. There are also some other spicy waves around for the ones who dare to explore a bit more.
To the left, they have the Kedungu Playground, a more shallow inlet close to the shore well protected from bigger waves and strong currents, perfect for learners and the ones who want to build confidence.
Overall, Kedungu is a great beach for learners, intermediate, or advanced surfers who like a laid-back atmosphere. Also with warm water and nearly year round sunny weather, Bali is the perfect place to start your surfing journey.
