The Benefits of Surfing
More than just fun
We all know surfing and riding the waves is fun, but do you know there are more benefits to surfing than just the fun of it? Surfing is a great way to spend time outdoors, enjoy nature and make friends. So grab your board and let’s dive into more benefits of surfing!
Zen in the Waves: Mental Benefits
Picture this: the calm and peace as you wait for the next set of waves, feeling the peace, happiness and quiet of the ocean. It's a zen moment that words can't quite capture. Research also shows that connecting with the ocean in this way has incredible mental health benefits.
In the midst of crashing waves, there's a stillness, a meditation in the ocean. As you ride the wave, your thoughts align with the sea and the wave. Leaves you only thinking about one thing: surfing!
It's a journey of self-discovery, pushing your own boundaries, trying to catch bigger waves, improving your paddle and pop-up, and realising the incredible strength that lies within you.
Looking for a zen moment outside the water? Extend your mental zen with our daily Yoga sessions, included in your Kima package twice a day, six days a week.

Strong in Your Body:
Physical Benefits
Surfing is a full-body workout that builds strength in unexpected ways. Improve your shoulders and back strength while paddling, enabling you to paddle harder and faster on your next wave. Once you pop up, standing on your board and riding the wave, you will need your leg and core muscles to keep you in balance.
As you progress in your surfing journey, you'll notice improvements in your overall stamina, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. The constant movement and engagement with the water and waves provide a workout, shaping not just your muscles but your entire body and mind.
Are you eager to enhance your strength outside the waves? We welcome you to explore our fitness areas in all our camps in Bali & Sri Lanka. Whether it's a pre-surf warm-up, a post-surf cooldown, or a surf workout, our fitness spaces offer a range of equipment to use.

Make Ocean Friends
Surfing isn't just a solo sport. Surfing is a community. Especially during our surf sessions at Kima, it is not only about riding waves but also about having fun with others, connecting with people from all around the world and making new friendships. Enjoy the company of fellow surfers, share laughs while waiting for the perfect wave, and get to know each other. It's a shared experience and the friendships formed in the waves.
Join the surf community everywhere you go, you only need a board suited to your style and level (check out here what surfboard suits you).

At Kima, we offer daily classrooms where we share not only the technicalities of surfing but also the rules that make the surfing community. We’ll ensure that every wave you catch is a shared experience of joy, safety and respect. Check out the best waves in Bali and Sri Lanka.
