CARI Surf Camp

Padang Padang, Bali

Intermediate and advanced surfers who want guiding on the Bukit - spot selection, local knowledge and lineup positioning at breaks most camps only drive past.

Skill level
Beginner to advanced
Style
Surf + yoga

Overview

CARI splits surfers by level before anything else. Beginners get clear instruction close to shore, and the more experienced groups go to whichever Bukit break is working that day. Most days have two sessions, one in the morning and another later on when conditions allow, and now and then a whole day goes to a surf trip along the coast.

You choose how much structure you want: surf guiding, lessons, or an intensive pack built around video analysis, a consultation with the head coach and surf-strength training. The middle of the day is for eating, resting and going over footage with your coach. Evenings bring BBQ nights and a family dinner, there's yoga on set days, and you stay in bungalows.
