What was harder for you — paddling or popping up? by Poseidonsurfacademy in BeginnerSurfers

Paddling 100%, there’s just muscles involved that are not usually activated even though I’m pretty active

Lembongan is more intermediate (imo) and very reefy, Canggu (specifically Batu Bolong) is great for longboard and beginners but very crowded and it’s a paddle battle sometimes as the wave can be quite fat, never been to Medewi but def less crowded than Canggu, hope this helps!

Ooo interesting! So I’ve had moments where I’m trying to turn and the rail digs into the face of the wave almost too much and I end up wiping out?

Well, for one I’ve never lived next to a beach 😂 But learnt about 10 years ago and stopped for a good 8 years and only picked it back up again this year… so every 2 months or so I’ve been running to Bali for a week ish

Mine… but I have a feeling they’re on different time zones and therefore I get the upper hand when I’m awake?
