Choose the right surf camp for your age

Bali is absolutely paradise for beginner surfers. Almost all beaches is available for beginner—yet still have their own characteristics. Other than surfing, Bali has more to offer—ride fields, beautiful beaches, volcanic mountain, and immersive culture which make it even perfect for surf holidays!
