Chiggy's Bali Skate Tour: Komune Keramas Skate and Surf Escape

Read the full experience

Chiggy's Bali Skate Tour delivers five days of high-energy cruising, cultural discovery, and seaside downtime on Bali’s eastern coast. Based at Komune Resort, Jl. Pantai Keramas, Medahan, Kec. Blahbatuh, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80361, Indonesia, this guided small-group trip uses Keramas’s world-famous surf break and nearby skate bowl as a daily staging ground for skating, exploration, and relaxation. The itinerary balances two skate spots a day with off-board adventures: waterfall hikes, temple visits and an ATV run through rice terraces and black-sand coastal plains. Komune Resort provides private skatepark access, a massive on-site bowl, a beach club, daily breakfast, and restorative amenities like massage therapy and a 24-hour yoga shala — useful for recovering sore shoulders and tight hips after long sessions. The tour also includes a welcome dinner, a welcome pack with a skateboard, shirt and cap, optional coaching, and professional photography and videography to document tricks and lines. What makes this trip special is the collision of polished resort comfort and raw Balinese landscape. Keramas Beach’s volcanic black sand, reef-protected surf, and limestone outcrops frame sessions that feel both technical and cinematic. Skate spots range from smooth municipal parks to handcrafted bowls and ledge-strewn plazas, each reflecting Bali’s improvisational skate culture: local crews, temple gates, and scooters passing by. Riders can taste local life with roadside warungs, fresh-squeezed sugarcane, and inevitable cold Bintangs on sunset shoulders. For travelers new to Bali, Chiggy’s tour is also a cultural primer. You'll visit temples where offerings are laid each morning, and explore Gianyar regency landscapes shaped by centuries of rice cultivation and volcanic soils. The group size is capped at eight, creating a coachable environment for mixed abilities and dedicated coaching options for those who want to push harder. Practical notes: flights should arrive into Denpasar, and participants must arrange travel insurance and any necessary visas ahead of time. There are no refunds or booking changes, and airport transfers can be added for an extra fee. The trip is organized around 5 days and 4 nights, priced as advertised. The program suits committed skaters and beginners alike: minimum age is 18 and group sizes cap at eight, which keeps coaching personal and uncluttered. The package includes ATV adventures, waterfall and temple outings, daily breakfasts, a welcome pack. Expect daily photography and videography to build a highlight edit — perfect for sharing clips or analyzing technique with your coach after every session.

Adventure tips

Bring your own deck if you canA familiar skateboard setup helps you adapt faster to varied surfaces—Komune provides access but a personal board keeps consistency.

Hydrate and rest between sessionsBali’s heat and long skate days dehydrate quickly—schedule breaks, use the resort's yoga shala and massage therapy to recover.

Carry a small cash stashLocal warungs, scooter parking, and temple donations are cash-centric—have small notes for snacks and offerings.

Book airport transfers earlyTransfers can be arranged for a fee; pre-booking avoids long waits at Denpasar and keeps the first session stress-free.

Recommended gear

Your personal skateboard: Consistency of your own deck and trucks helps maintain technique across different parks.
Certified helmet and pads: Protective gear is vital for park sessions and coaching progression.
High-SPF sunscreen: Tropical sun is intense during midday sessions; frequent reapplication prevents burns.
Light, waterproof shell: A compact rain jacket helps during short tropical downpours in Bali's wet months.
