Well for Bali in general there’s so many surf breaks and they are well documented but I would have to say that Ull’s, Padang-Padang, Sanur and the new spot Keramas are my expert opinion that these Breaks are up there with the rest of the world because they have that famous word “Tube” or other terms barreling so your complete body is inside the wave for seconds and that’s the ultimate in Surfing the wave and making it.

I read about these guys on other threads and they seem terrible im happy this exists as it can ruin your only once in a lifetime chance to surf bali .
I found these guys on balisurfingcamp.com , i guess there know as padang padang surf camp. I booked a 2 week stay paid all online and turned up was greeted ok by the staff , but after that it all went down hill and pear shaped. We surfed on the first day in Padang beach it was a complete beginners spot , i did mention to them that i could surf and had been for 10 years, i wasnt sure why i was sent with beginners to that spot , so i did that first day , wasnt impressed but the beach was great. The next day i asked to surf another experienced break like Uluwatu but the surf guide told me that it wasnt for girls i was so pissed i went to the manager Andrew and his wife Ida the javanese women and asked why they would say such a thing he advised me to just surf where i was told. I thought this was my holiday i felt so bad that i walked out and went for a stroll to cool off and think this through me being stupid i came back and decided to try again. I grabbed my board headed for the car park out front where they were loading up put my board on the car and sat back to see where we would go , turned up at padang again to windy 2ft parked and got out i asked about other breaks and they just spoke amongst themselves in there language and then walked off and laughed. The head surf guide steamy didnt care one bit that i was so depressed about surfing here , the other guides just seemed to want the day over so they could get paid cookie was a total smart arse all the time and coyock just had an attitude this is not what i pictured a surf holiday in paradise to be like. I left walked back to the camp which was a good 20mins away down behind this thai food resturant as i got to the resturant one nice guy came out saw that i was upset sat me down and gave me a nice cold drink and asked me what was wrong , i told him and he didnt seem surprised which made me think to get the hell out of there. I thanked him and headed back , saw the managers and asked for a refund to which they said there were none and if i didnt like it i could leave. So i found a cheap place down the road behind the resturant and stayed there with only a few dollars left. So im writing this to tell you all to be aware of this camp read reviews and look around there are nice people out there.
