As the waves are quite small at the moment, our guides already start doing work outs and stretching while riding the waves ;)

Lifesaving Training

For guests’ safety, the surfinstructors from KIMA Surf Camp Bali took part in a lifesaving training.  As all of our dutiful team members were most of the time involved into practical exercises, photos were difficult to take and therefore we hardly have images of the livesaving action itself… Here some of the weekend impressions, the rest is up to your imagination.

Guide Outing to Somewhere

Ten days ago, the KIMA Bali Surf Camp team grabbed it’s surfboards and cameras, packed some cold beers into a bus and made it’s way to discover lonely surfspots somewhere in Java.
