What will your stay looks like ?
On average you can expect the following during your stay with Solid Surf and Yoga House Bali. You will be out surfing 6 times a week, average twice a day. But do not worry if you want more sessions you can take your scooter including board rack, which they have included in your package, and go out for a surf session on your own or with your surf mates.
Every Sunday is a ‘rest day’. On these days you’re free to do whatever you want, maybe even more surfing. Not every Sunday has to be a boring day off, so they scheduled every other week a nice excursion so you can really soak up some of Indonesia's finest scenery and get you to experience that real Bali feeling.
During your stay here Solid Surf and Yoga House Bali wants to make sure you become a well rounded surfer as this is a very important aspect of being a great surfer and instructor. To assure this they make use of the amazing waves Indonesia has on offer. They will take you on several trips to G-land and Lembongan. But Bali itself has many famous and infamous breaks that you will be surfing as well.
One of the best ways to learn surfing is not only by doing it as much as possible, but also seeing yourself surf to be able to understand potential mistakes you’re making. So during your training you will be filmed and photographed a lot so they can work on your personal development. This will be discussed one time a week during your video analysing, where you will not only analyse yourself but also will analyse others as the most you can learn is actually by looking at others! Solid Surf and Yoga House Bali has also scheduled theory evenings where you will discus safety, surfing rules, and many other important part of surfing.
Of course you also have time to party! Definitely not unimportant to relax and unwind from all the surfing and scheduled activities. You can enjoy at the bar a nice drink, beer, or cocktail but also order food from the restaurant that is serving a la carte Asian specialties and world classics according to the original recipes.
What else can you expect ?
Of course you are here for surfing, but that is definitely not all that Solid Surf and Yoga House Bali or Bali has to offer! During your stay here you can expect for one, to make friends for life and being based in once place a little longer allows you to experience Bali and Indonesia from a completely different perspective then the average tourist.
Canggu, which is where you will be staying is, with very good reason, a place where many people like to return to during their trip around Bali or Indonesia. Sandy beach parties, lush green rice paddies, heaps of cool and interesting people, even cooler locals and the food is to die for! And this will be your home for at least 2 whole month!
To be able to really connect and interact with the local people, Solid Surf and Yoga House Bali also provides bi-weekly Bahasa lessons. This is the national language of Indonesia. As mentioned before they also offer several trips around Indonesia.
Surf guiding - intermediate and advanced
Solid Surf and Yoga House Bali offers an intermediate and advanced surf guiding twice a day (2/3-hour sessions) in a group based set up of maximum 4/5 surfers per guide. Every surf guide has its own surf group for that day which is assembled based on the level of the surfers.
Solid Surf and Yoga House Bali organises on demand at any time of day an intermediate / advanced surf guiding. This means together with your surf guide you can check what surf spots you would like to surf that day within a distance of 1 hour's drive maximum.
The surf guide will see to it that you can spot a few spots before going in and recommending a spot based on his local knowledge to ensure you will get the best surf that day. You can consult with your surf guide and group of fellow surfers to go for surf spotting first or go directly to the first best spot he/she recommends.
Solid Surf and Yoga House Bali will consider: tides, wind, wave size, currents, crowds, and localism into the guiding and as part of the choices where you go.
The sessions are 2/3 hours per session and are scheduled twice a day – if they schedule a longer more far-away session then this will be turned into one long session where you spend longer time on one spot. This can happen due to lack of waves and you have to go north or south to find spots that are working better with smaller waves. Sometimes it even happens that only 1 or 2 surf spots are working in the entire area. Wave size and conditions changes by the day! Solid Surf and Yoga House Bali will try to find the best compromises that will benefit the intermediate / advanced surfer as much as possible.
Independent surfers:
- Know how to protect themselves but also others when a wipe out happens
- Can handle unexpected currents
- Can paddle to the line up and beach back without any guidance
- Can analyse currents in the water
- Know where the entry and exit points are
- Are able to turtle roll and to duck dive
- Can pass the surf safely without board loss
- Know how to kick out of a wave
- Know how to go left and right
- Do not need to be pushed into a wave by an instructor
Note
Surf guiding is not a surf lesson – it is guided surf! There will be no tuition – no constructive feedback or coaching other than what the surf guide wants to offer you for that moment voluntarily. To book an intermediate / advanced surf you need to be a Level 3 surfer and meet the requirements above. If the surf coach does not deem you to be a L3 intermediate / advanced surfer and you are not able to surf safely for yourself and in particular others the surf coach has the right to cancel the session and schedule you up for the beginners classes they have.
