Great little surf camp on the beach, nestled between peaceful rice fields.
I came here looking for a quiet surf retreat after surfing more crowded areas in Canggu & Uluwatu. It was totally perfect for that. Each day I had 2 serious surf sessions (starting at 6am), with a lot of time to chill & relax between.
The Medewi wave is excellent and I had very helpful instruction from the surf guides, including a video session. It was here I finally ascended from decent beginner to basic intermediate, and was able to use all the coaching the catch the best waves of my life.
(You can also buy your photos & videos from a handful of photographers on the beach, which was super cool)
The kitchen staff was awesome and always kept me well fed & hydrated. Free transportation from and to the airport area was amazing. The room was clean with a hot shower & cold AC. Overall price was an excellent value.
Met a bunch of cool people at the camp, who I’ll hopefully see all around the world some day. Thanks for a great experience Brown Sugar, I plan to return! - via
4.5 stars for the overall experience
3 days with Cam improved my skills more than an entire year of surfing on my own. He’s extremely detailed and very good at providing helpful feedback. Video analysis of EVERY wave was absolutely brilliant.
We’d go out to different spots & at different times each day, spending on the conditions. After seeing the other surf schools in the water (not teaching much of anything), I was definitely pleased with my choice.
The other 4 days surfing with just his employee was not as helpful. He would help position me to catch the wave, but didn’t provide much other feedback. Sometimes Cam would provide a note after reviewing the videos from these days.
This is not really a “surf camp” anymore since they don’t have their own villa. I was just put in the Balé Bingin hotel on the beach by myself, then picked up each day to surf. The hotel was at the bottom of a ton of stairs (which I was not thrilled about), but by the end I did enjoy it. Epic ocean views and a beachfront restaurant with live music every night.
Overall, it’s an amazing experience if you can make sure you’re in the water with Cam, but it’s not really the immersive surf camp experience that I thought it was from the website. Next time, I would do my own thing in Uluwatu and just get lessons with Cam. - via
