350+ surfers already caught waves with us
Overview
Bali has pulled in surfers since the seventies: a fabled shoreline with a break for every level. Surf each morning, roam the island each afternoon, and meet people from every corner of the map. This is the kind of week that sticks with you long after you're home.
Daily sessions at Canggu's best breaks
It began as a trip. It turned into a movement. Now we're growing a crew of surfers who pick real experiences over everything else.
Levels

advanced Stay
Our Canggu villa has 8 bedrooms sleeping 20–24 guests at most. Pick a shared twin room, a private double for couples, or a group suite for friends travelling together.
Our Villa Two single beds, air conditioning, ensuite bathroom and blackout curtains. Share with a fellow camper matched by age and habits — most camp friendships start in this room.
A private king bed, garden balcony and ensuite rain shower. Built for couples or solo travellers who want their own quiet corner after full-on surf days.
Room for three or four friends with single beds, a shared lounge nook and two bathrooms. Travel as a pack, split the cost, and keep the stories in one place.
Private pool, rooftop terrace with ocean views, fully stocked kitchen, coworking corner, outdoor lounges, board storage and BBQ nights. Everything you need between sessions.
Experience
This camp isn't just about surfing. It's about the whole experience.
Join The Campfor body
Loosen surf-tired muscles with sunset yoga and start slow mornings with guided breathwork sessions.
for soul

for fun
Hunt hidden beaches by scooter, graze through night markets, and trade travel stories past midnight.
Program
Land, drop your bags at the villa and meet everyone over a welcome dinner. Boards get sorted, surf groups get set, and we watch the first sunset together.
Beach theory and pop-ups on the sand, then your first green waves with a coach at your side. We close the day with an evening walk through the local market.
Morning video review and technique drills, a free-surf afternoon to lock in the feeling, then sunset from a beach-club beanbag with the whole crew.
No boards today: ancient temples, a purification ritual and a long-table dinner on island history, stories and everything in between.
Dawn patrol first, then scooters north to jungle waterfalls and natural pools. Back at the villa for a film night with fresh coconuts.
One last coaching push in the morning, a Balinese massage in the afternoon, and a farewell BBQ under the palms as the sun goes down.
One last sunrise surf, group photos on the sand, checkout by noon and airport drop-offs with salty hugs and full hearts.

Instructors
Our coaches are Bali locals who grew up on these breaks. They know which peak suits your level and exactly what you need to hear — whether it's your first wave or your first cutback.
They shape everything around you. Never stood up? They'll walk you through every step. Already riding? They'll sharpen your technique. By day nine you won't just trust them — you'll miss paddling out with them.
Every coach holds an international surf certificate with 5+ years teaching on these beaches.
Max 6 surfers per coach. Personal feedback, proper supervision, faster progress.

A glimpse into life at our camp
Watch our video diaries!
camp '26 Best call I made all year. I arrived fried from work and needed a reset — this camp gave me exactly that. The coaches know their stuff, the energy stays easy, and I clicked with people from everywhere. I went from barely standing to actually riding waves. Already locked in for next season.
camp '26 I nearly didn't come alone — but this crew felt like home within a day. We surfed every morning, roamed the island, and had the kind of deep talks you usually only have with old friends. Already counting down to my next trip back.
camp '25 I came for the waves and stayed for the people. The video reviews fixed my pop-up in three days, the villa afternoons were pure gold, and the waterfall day was unreal. Worth every cent.
camp '25 As a total beginner I was terrified of looking silly. The coaches never rushed me, the group cheered every ride, and by day five I caught my first green wave. I cried. Then I booked again.

Whether it's the program, the rooms or anything between — we're glad to help.
Contact UsNot at all. Around half our guests have never touched a board. Total Newbie and Still Learning groups start from zero, and coaches stay with you until you pop up on your own.
Most guests arrive solo. Shared rooms, group dinners and surf groups mix everyone fast — solo travellers usually leave with the most new friends.
Flights, insurance, visa fees, meals outside the program and personal extras like scooter rental. Everything surf-related, the villa, yoga and day trips are covered.
We run several camps each season. Tell us your window in the shop checkout notes or by email, and we'll match you to the next camp with space.
Canggu is a well-worn surf town with cafés, clinics and surf shops on every corner. Our crew is on call day and night, and airport pickup is included.
Often, yes. Extra nights before or after camp depend on the season calendar — ask when you book and we'll confirm within a day.
Team
The ones who planned a surf camp, not a photoshoot
Jonas started Oakenmist after one Bali winter turned into three years. He handles the villa, the vans and the good chaos.
Sinta shoots every session and cuts the camp films. If there's a photo of you mid-wave, she took it.
Tom answers your emails, matches roommates and meets you at the airport with a grin and cold water.
Every camp day — dawn patrols, wipeouts, waterfall runs — gets cut into short diaries. Follow along and see the camp through our lens.
