Why Vibes Surf Camp

Why surf with us

Licensed Indonesian company (PT PMA)

Longboard only

A camp dedicated to classic longboarding. We coach every level, from complete beginners to surfers chasing their first hang five and hang ten.

Coached by shapers

Our coaches design and build longboards and single fins themselves, so they can tell you exactly why your board does what it does.

4K 60fps video & drone

Every session is filmed from the beach and the air. Footage that looks great on Instagram and YouTube, and that we review with you frame by frame.

Dawn patrol

We paddle out early every morning. Surf, breakfast, video review and land training are all done by about 12:30, so the rest of your day is yours.

Canggu, Bali

Bali's rising hotspot, with restaurants, cafés, shops and beaches. The camp sits right in the middle of Canggu, five minutes from everything.

Concierge

We share our hand-picked list of Canggu spots, sorted by what you need, so you spend your free time enjoying, not searching.

4K drone filming

This is how your wave stays with you

Our 4K drone films your rides from angles you rarely get at a surf camp. Straight above, right up close, and all the way along the wave.

TOP VIEWFrom straight aboveLooking straight down on you, your board and the spray. Most surf camps don't film this angle, and it looks fresh and beautiful.

CLOSE-UPRight up closeThe drone comes in close to your ride and catches your face, your feet and the water flying off the board.

LONG RIDELooks great, even as a beginnerHowever new you are, your long ride gets filmed like a movie. One wave from start to finish, and it looks amazing.

Earn at camp, spend at the shop. And the other way around.

This is the main reason we brought the camp and the shop together as Vibes Surf.

Selection and Focus

Why we have four programs

There is only one reason we divided our courses into four types: to pour the essential education into those who truly need it.

Forced training becomes poison. Choose the course that fits your condition and passion, and we will focus on giving you the best surfing experience for that choice.
