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
