1. Strengthens Your Muscles
Surfing provides a full-body workout that engages multiple muscle groups. Paddling strengthens your arms, shoulders, and back, while the pop-up movement and balancing on the board build leg muscles and core strength.
After catching waves, recover with a massage from our in-house spa therapists or stretch out in a yoga class—the perfect combination to prepare for your next surf session.
2. Improves Balance and Flexibility
Surfing quickly enhances your balance and flexibility, as you constantly engage your core to stay upright on the board. Combined with our yoga classes, you’ll soon feel more stable and agile, both on and off the waves.

3. It’s a good cardiovascular workout
One of the greatest benefits of surfing is its cardiovascular benefits. Surfing keeps your heart rate up, improving blood circulation and overall heart health.
4. Builds Stamina and Endurance
Because surfing is so much fun, you stay active longer without even realizing it. Unlike repetitive workouts in a gym, surfing keeps you engaged and motivated. The desire to catch just one more wave naturally pushes your endurance to new levels.

5. Boosts Vitamin D Intake
Spending time outdoors in sunny Bali naturally boosts your vitamin D levels. This essential vitamin helps your body absorb calcium, strengthening your bones.
Surfing in tropical paradise is a much more enjoyable way to get your daily dose of vitamin D than taking supplements!
6. Helps You Sleep Better
Exercise is well known to improve sleep quality, and surfing is no exception. Since it’s a physically demanding sport, your body naturally wants to rest and recover, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep.

7. Reduces Stress and Promotes Relaxation
One of the most powerful benefits of surfing is its ability to relieve stress. Being in the ocean requires complete focus, clearing your mind of daily worries. The calming power of the waves and the connection to nature instantly relax your mind.
8. Teaches Mindfulness and Patience
Surfing requires you to stay present and adapt to nature’s rhythm. You can’t control the waves, so you learn to be patient and appreciate the moment—a valuable lesson that extends beyond the water.
9. Boosts Happiness and Well-Being
Surfing triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormones. Many surfers describe feeling “stoked” after a session—a sensation of excitement and pure joy from riding the waves.
10. Encourages a Healthier, More Balanced Lifestyle
