CARI SURF BALI: A fated connection
It’s been a few months since I have been chatting with some of my surfer girls about making a surf trip to Indonesia. Personally, I have never gone, I had other surf destinations on my list, but with winter plans gearing up, I have been receiving a few extra reels and comments in my DMs about Bali. Honestly, the FOMO and hype was definitely having its effect on me. So finally I wrote in our group chat that I am manifesting it, saving the money and making it happen whether they were in or not. They agreed.
A few days later, I connected with CARI SURF BALI, after checking out their website, surf packages and accommodations I knew it was fate! From thought to action, the Bali surf trip became a plan rather than a fantasy. In the past I was never really into manifesting,I thought it was a bit delusional. Until I saw its magic. It is an action based concept.
Thoughts into reality.
And so on the list to must visit is Cari Surf Bali!
Stay tuned for details and hype to come as I plan a new adventure! Watch for CARI SURF BALI surf camp page as well where I will showcase some of their offerings.

That said, here are 11 reasons why I am collaborating with CARI SURF BALI and why I will be making the trip to visit them and you should too!
1. Search And Discover Your Best Surf Experience In Padang Padang, Bali
CARI SURF CAMPS are driven towards surfers who are serious about surfing, not just a fad lifestyle trend. They offer curated surf camp packages targeted for each surfer based on their surf level, accommodating to create the best surfing experience for each guest. ‘Cari’ name was born from the Indonesian word ‘search’ which symbolizes their mission to help you find the surf adventure that suits your needs. Cari Surf provides personalized surf-guiding that seek out the waves that you are capable of riding but also challenge you with safety and progression in mind. They cater to beginners, intermediate or advanced surfers looking for a surf experience that delivers the ultimate surf holiday regardless of how big of waves you ride.
“The journey just starts here. Our mission goes all the way to West-Sumbawa where we are planning something very special. The waves and people there are just amazing. Together we create destinations of excitement, progression and everlasting memories. Cari Surf Camp is a place for everyone to meet, relax, share stories and develop their surfing skills to the next level.”
2. Prime location in world famous surf destination of Bali, Indonesia
Anyone who surfs or dreams about surfing knows that Bali is a must-surf destination. Beyond the smoothie bowls, insta-worthy landscapes and digital nomad community, Bali offers some serious swell. But also, accommodates the longboard, beginner or intermediate not just the advanced charger. This is why they offer cohesive surf packages that allow you to experience Bali’s top surf spots around Uuwatu easily receiving a customized coaching with local certified surf instructors. It is an unmatched location on the Bukit with the ability to surf at different surf breaks accommodating to your surf level and current conditions with quick access to both coasts.
3. You can surf all year round, so the real question is: Did you surf today?
As mentioned, Cari Surf Bali is located conveniently near both coasts, so they can offer access to surf all year round at any surf level. Bali is one of the few surf spots that provides that, while they do have peak seasons, West coast peaking between July – August for the dry season from April to October, the South and East Coast peaking during the wet season from November to March. Not only does that mean you can pretty much surf everyday given the conditions allow but does make planning your surf trip a little more flexible.
4. They make surf packages accessible for all levels, not just Kooks or Core lords.
They are serious about surf progression and providing enjoyable surf camps that are not just based on the fastest money making business model. Forget the foam boards colliding or one size fits all camp packages they offer really great flex packages for every level. They offer a LESSON PACK for Level 1-3 surfers and GUIDING PACK or INTENSIVE PACK for Level 3-5 surfers. All well thought out packages that create inclusive and memorable experiences for any surf level.
5. No shame, honest and easy Surf Level Guide Checklist so you book the right surf holiday
While most of us want to be better surfers than our current level, they make sure to support and encourage your current level with no shame or surf ego. They give easy to understand and a clear checklist for you to know your approximate surf level. Not only does their surf level guide help you really be honest with yourself and what you need to learn or work on, it also makes it really easy to book the appropriate surf package so you can fully enjoy and profit from your surf trip. Each package states which surf level it is prepared for. Matches you with the right surf buddies or guides while supporting learning and progression rather than putting everyone in the same group, better for them and better for you.

6. They offer quality packages at various budgets,’go big or go anyways’, you don’t have to go home
You can experience quality and sustainable accommodations without breaking the bank. With various options you can get the privacy and luxury you want or join the community and grab a bed in the dorm room that still offers quality and comfort. With two locations offering camps or villas, bungalows, and newly added stylish Studios. The hardest decision will be where you want to sleep! With minimalist Bali style and laid back comfort offering a touch of luxury, the warm combination of organic textures and sunny inviting lighting, you might linger a little longer before dawn patrol. There is no question you are going to relax post surf by the pool or with friends.
7. Sustainability driven and support local
Cari Surf Bali’s surf instructors are certified local surfers who love what they do. They are locals including Yudhis who was born right in the surf heaven of Bali. All of their leadership roles are held by locals and all team members are paid fair salaries. The accommodations are stylish, with minimal style that demonstrates quality over quantity. Allowing the decor and space to speak for itself. From photography to web design to overall esthetics, the attention to detail and quality is showcased. They offer double sessions that avoid unnecessary car rides, which reduces emissions, seems small but adds up.
Best of all, they organize beach and local area clean ups as well as collaborate with and donate to local environmental causes to help support the community!
8. Surfer & Experienced traveller owned and operated
. Founders DAve and Greg are experienced surf travellers who are passionate about surfing and built their life around surfing. They created CARI SURF BALI after lived, worked and surfed globally including Europe, Morocco, Central America and Southeast Asia. They understand their clients, staff and what makes an exceptional surf camp. Their knowledge and experience is obvious in their curated surf packages and mission.
“We believe that surfing is not just a sport, a lifestyle or a cool “new” thing to do. It is a community of people who share the same passion and drive to look for new adventures, connections and goals.“
9. They offer culinary delights for all tastebuds
While I could never personally be vegan or vegetarian since I love meat and seafood too much, Cari Surf Bali accommodates vegan and other dietary needs with compromising flavours with exceptional culinary delights.The mouthwatering photos alone make me salivate for those fresh salads and iconic smoothie bowls. The dining area looks pretty inviting as well, a great spot to enjoy and meet a community of like minded surfers. Their resto offers locally sourced and high quality ingredients worth drooling over.
10. You can further customize your surf trip
On top of already customized surf packages, you can further customize your surf trip for your budget and experience. Add on Private Surf lessons for extra attention or a massage for the longer paddling days, or hit the gym if you like to stay on top of your gym routine like me. The functional fitness Ultimate Riders and high energy 360 Move offerings look pretty sick and ideal fitness for any surfer. Plus it’s always more fun with a gym buddy!
11. Join a like minded supportive surf community
Sustainable Surfer Girl mission is all about supporting community and like minded surfers who care about the ocean, supporting local businesses and small surf brands. So what is more ideal than a place that radiates this vision? A welcoming team and progressive focused surf camp program with a community of experienced surfers who want to help others learn and surf together. That outdated localism vibe is old school and not the norm anymore, now it is about celebrating every unique surf destination, their culture and sharing experiences to grow together as a global surf community.
Every guest, team member and friend is a part of this refreshing new community that goes beyond Bali.
