Bali Surfaris linese Welcome to KIMA r feet in the Ba u yo d n fi u yo p To hel rmation ve put some info e’ w fe li y a -d to dayur surfari. together for yo KIMA Surfaris – Established in 1995 Since 1995 Kima has been organizing Surfaris. Many things have changed since, but one fact remains the same: in the surf camps you meet likeminded people sharing one passion – surfing as a way of life! At the centre of our Kima Surfaris is really discovering the island, its many surf spots, and numerous other attractions. Mobility is a big thing for Kimasurf, so that both beginners and experienced surfers get their money‘s worth with the „guided surf tours“. These tours are arranged 2 times a day (week days) for all surf levels. However, Kima does not only offer Bali Surfaris, but also surf trips all over Indonesia such as boat trips to Lombok, Sumbawa or Java, or a stay at the famous G-land surf camp.

Safety Streets and traffic are in general quite nerve-wracking in Bali. That’s why you should always drive slowly and foresightedly. Locals tend to drive out of small alleys without looking for other traffic or without using the indicator!

Our camp driver, the mountain bikes and cars for discovering the island are at your free disposal. For the use of cars and motor bikes you need an international driver’s license! When you are in groups of at least 3 people, you can always take a car – just check with one of the surf instructors one day in advance. At night and on the week-ends you can also take a car just for yourself – there will be hang outs to sign in for a car on week-ends, during the week just ask at the front desk. You can use our cars for free, but please make sure to fill in the driver’s logbook carefully and to return the car refueled afterwards. For short distances or just to check out the waves on the beach we also have bicycles for you. You can get the keys at the reception. If there’s something wrong with a bike, please let us know! Don’t just park the bust bike at the camp. A motor bike with board rack can be rented daily or weekly, just ask at the front desk. Seminyak & Balangan Camp For trips to Kuta, to the supermarket or the money changer our camp driver is available 8 hrs per day to help you. Canggu Camp For short trips to the supermarket or the money changer our camp driver is at your disposal. We also offer a daily city shuttle to Seminyak. For information regarding departure time and meeting point just check with the reception.

License and registration In order to drive a motor vehicle in Indonesia a valid international driver’s license is required. The license should always be brought along together with the registration of the vehicle as you need to show both in the case the police stop you. If you don’t have these documents, you will be fined and have to go to the police station in Denpasar to pay your ticket. However, in most cases you can also pay 50.000 Rp on spot. This “flat rate fine” may save you a whole lot of nerves and time. Just be friendly and pay without attracting attention.

Bali has a zero drink drive limit! So after a night out we absolutely recommend to take a cab. For your own safety, you should wear a closed helmet as well as closed shoes and long pants whenever you drive a motor bike in order to ensure maximum protection in case of an accident

Police check It may occur that the police stop you without any obvious reason only to fine you for an offense that you might have committed without realizing or that you have not even committed at all. To avoid trouble, we recommend to just pay the 50.000 Rp or, if you’re sure, insisting on your innocence. Either way, act friendly but self-assured! It might turn out to be useful to claim to be a frequent guest on the island and to greet the police officer in Indonesian (see: lingo guide).

Liability In the event of negligent damage or loss of the vehicle the camp participant/s shall be liable for the loss incurred. In the case of an accident or damage to the vehicles by a third party or the Indonesian traffic, costs will be carried jointly by everyone in the car. Here we stick strictly to our motto “cling together, swing together”, so that it’s not only those who do all the driving who have to face the music.

Worst cases - accidents The first step is the question of guilt and getting hold of witnesses. If the other person caused the accident, make sure he or she doesn’t leave the place of accident and call the police and your bike rental or us respectively. It’s in the renter’s own interest to negotiate in your favor. If you caused the accident, you have to pay for all the damage. Minor damages should be dealt with on the spot, because the longer the negotiation takes, the higher your costs will be. Always keep in mind that spare parts and labor costs are extremely cheap in Indonesia! Most of the body damages are not more than 300.000Rp, so don’t let yourself be ripped off! However, if there is a serious accident with injuries, you are obliged to provide first aid and bring the person to the nearest hospital. Don’t wait for an ambulance as this may take a while. Instead, just organize a transportation from bystanders. Also, inform us ASAP: +62 (0) 361 73 67 37 (office) Or +62 (0) 8133 776 73 85 (Tano) Or +62 (0) 8133 714 32 96 (Roland) Have a safe trip!

Our experienced shapers manufacture custom made surfboards for our Surfari participants. The boards can be ordered according to individual wishes (size, weight, surf level, dimensions required) in various colors and designs.

6’2, 18 ½ , 2 3/16 Pin Tail

Equipped with double concave and pin tail, it’s design will allow for everyday use for intermediate/ advanced surfers for bigger, faster, and more hollow waves.

6’2, 19 ¼, 2 3/8 Quad Fin Single Flyer

Designed for speed and agility, the Quad Fin Single Flyer will help to combine rail-to-rail surfing with the ability for longer and more drawn out turns. Equipped with full rocker and double concave, it is a great board for all around daily use.

6’6, 18 ¾, 2 3/8 Pin Tail

This is a perfect board for use in fast and hollow waves for an advanced surfer. Full rocker and pin-tail gives this board the ability to be ultra-responsive in critical sections.

For consultation or order just check with our surf instructors or with our office staff. Our team of experts can assist you at a one-on-one level to ensure not only the quality, but also, the performance level of your custom board. Fins, leashes, footpads and board bags are available in different types on demand.

6’6, 20”, 2 5/8 Five Fin Single Flyer

Designed for the intermediate surfer or “larger” advanced surfer. Its innovative fin set-up will allow this board to maneuver the way its owner chooses. Flat rocker and swallow tail will be suitable for either a bigger and more advanced surfer or the intermediate surfer looking for the next level in their surfing.

6’8, 19 ½, 2 5/8 Square Tail

This is a great board for daily use in all conditions. Big or small waves, its full rocker and single concave will provide maneuverability and responsiveness to your surfing.

6’10 x 21 x 2 3/4 Funboard

Combining agility with stability, this fun board model is the perfect board for the transition from straight riding to surfing with maneuverability and mobility on the wave. With a trimmed down tail-width, yet still holding it’s minimalibu shape, this board takes your surfing to the next level.

If you look around at the camp you will find our very important info board. Here you can see when, where and what’s going on surf-wise, when the next trip to Medewi is starting or who’s lost his/her yellow, underpants! Choose the right surf session for your level: our surf instructors will be happy to advise you in choosing a session. It’s very important that you register until 8:00 p.m. one day in advance for the activities you want to take part in!! And those wise guys who sign up for a trip and don’t make it because they can’t manage to get up in the morning have to pay into a penalty box. At the weekend we open the box and there’s drinks all round ;-)

In all camps we offer a boat shuttle to the outside reefs, one time per guest per week. Accompanied by our experienced surf instructors, you have the chance to go on a surf session to the amazing waves of the offshore reefs like Kuta Reef, Airport Rights and Lefts, Tora-Tora, Middles, Nusa Dua, Tanjung’s and more. We hire a local fisher boat to get to the surf spots, so you can surf amazing waves with a minimum of paddle effort. We plan these trips depending on surf level, wind and swell conditions, and usually there is at least an intermediate surf skill required to take part in those trips. You also can participate in more than one trip per week, but we then you would have to pay for it (around 50.000 RP/person, to be paid to the fisherman directly on spot).

At all camps we film you twice a week at sessions with different levels in order to get as many of your surf moves as possible on tape (first take-offs, wipe-outs or even tubes).

If you want to participate, please sign up for it on the info board in time.

At the following video analysis the surf instructors will help you to identify your mistakes and, subsequently, to correct them. On the info board you can see which sessions are being filmed. At the Canggu and Seminyak camp you can also participate in theory lessons about material, waves and surf rules. These lessons take place twice a week. For the exact dates and time, just check on the info board.

EQUIPMENT You will get your board, leash and rash guard for a deposit when you check in the camp. If you didn’t buy an insurance (see ding repair & insurance), the costs for potential repairs or loss of material will be deducted from the paid deposit and the rest will be paid out at the end of your stay. In the board storage there is a list of all current repair costs (updated twice a week). Please treat the equipment as if it were your own. We recommend to check your board every evening to see if anything’s wrong, any defects (what we call “Dings”) and under no circumstances take a damaged board into the water – that simply ruins the material! Tell us if your board is damaged and we’ll have it repaired and collected. Please dry the hired rash guards every day.

Seminyak camp Rip Curl booties and surf wax are available with a Kima discount at the office (Mo-Fr, 12:00 – 8:00 p.m.).

Balangan & Canggu camp RipCurl booties and surf wax are available with a Kima discount with the camp manager or the responsible guide.

Ding repair & insurance The repair costs for dings will be borne by yourself. However, after an introduction on “how to take care of surf material” by us, the appropriate handling of the boards should be no problem. Statistics show that it’s possible to go through 3 weeks surf camp “accident-free”. Just think of your board as your own baby. To play it safe, you can “insure” your rented board (and also your own board). With this insurance, we pay for all your repairs within a time period from 1-3 weeks, from the smallest ding to a snap, given, that especially when you snapped your board we get all parts of the board back! Naturally, all damages will be repaired professionally and immediately. The insurance will not cover for any loss of material or parts of material. If you are interested, just address one of our surf instructors.

KIMA VOYAGER

Safety Box

Please keep your valuables (passport, air ticket, cash) in the safety deposit box of your room. To open the safe please type in the code: 123A. After that you can create your own code, just follow the description you will find at the safe. If your safe cannot be opened, please ask at the front desk for help. Please notice that the hotel and Kima is not liable for lost items not stored safely.

PAYMENT

Please pay for your Surfari within the first 3 days after arrival at the KIMA office. (Office hours: Mo-Fr. 12:00 – 08:00 p.m.) We accept all kinds of currencies and traveller’s cheques (please bring your passport). Unfortunately it is not possible to pay with credit card. The KIMA office is a 1-minute walk away from the Seminyak camp, just turn left out of the hotel direction beach and after 20m you should see our KIMA light.

AIRPORT TAX

Please make sure that you still have 150.000 Rp. for the airport tax which you have to pay at departure. However, ATM’s and money changers are still available at the airport.

Money changer

Unfortunately, amongst the countless money changers on Bali there are many black sheep, that’s why you should only go to the so called PT. Money Changer (for both cash and traveller’s cheques). There are several money changers in Seminyak and Kuta marked on the enclosed map. They don’t normally cheat! Don’t forget to always count your money before leaving and insist on getting large notes. If you are cheated all the same, even on the following day you can still try to reclaim your money if you threaten to call the police (stay friendly, but be confident!). In any case, always keep the receipt and try to remember the face of the person who served you.

Kima Guests support the Soul Surfer Project in Bali

Snow team

Terje Haakonsen, Eero Ettala, Jake Blauvelt.

By booking our surf camps YOU have donated a certain amount of money to the Soul Surf Project Bali, a local-based charity foundation. Orphans from Bali get the chance to learn surfing and to appreciate the ocean. In order to reinforce respect for nature, the children get a better idea about environmental issues and ways to make Bali a cleaner place to live. These instructive lessons are an important part of the project since pollution is a serious problem on the island. The project has the goal to create ecological awareness in the entire society starting with the kids. The surf lessons are given as a reward for their participation and new attitude towards their surroundings. For more information AND further donations please come to the Kima Surf office. We would appreciate every support!!!

Anyone who travels a lot knows all about diarrhea and constipation – it doesn’t really matter what you eat or drink, it sometimes hits you. Whatever you do, don’t take ImodiumAkut or charcoal tablets – just let everything out! But if you start to run a fever or there’s no improvement after two days, you should consult a doctor. We recommend the BIMC Clinic, our drivers as well as every taxi driver know where it is. Please note that tap water is not drinkable in Bali and people with sensitive gums should also use bottled water for brushing teeth. If you need medical attention, it’s best to tell us. Maybe we can recommend medicine, a hospital or a specialist.
