My stay at the camp was perfect. Great people and great waves, I really think that it´s probably one of the best surfcamps, since

you get to surf "for real" there are no small waves that you r stuck with for weeks. Here you get to learn the basic but then really 

gets to know what surfing is all about! And you get to experience more of the "real" indonesia, since you´ll be living in a small cool village without to many other turists(exept the guys at the camp)

Olle, alex and karin, which were the guys leading the camp back when I was there were always in a great mood and making people feel great, - thanks for a great time guys hope I´ll be back some day!

When I think back of trips and places I have been to I remember most of them with a big smile on my face!
And then there are those very special places and moments I want to return to and do it all over again.
Needless to say, SCL is one of those rare gems!
Not only do I want to go back but I've already booked my return trip and I freakin cant wait :)

So why is SCL so good?

Well, lets start with the surfclasses and the instructors.
This is NOT your typical "whitewater / beach-break / non-inspired-teacher / just-in-it-for-the-money /slacker etc etc" Camp
Here you'll learn to surf in GOOD waves. The instructors love surfing, and more importantly, they seem to love teaching surfing!
I could go on here but lets just say that from beginner to more advanced you really will be coached INDIVIDUALLY (something other surf-schools often use as a slogan, but rarely does)

Ok, what else...The vibe is great and very friendly. Rooms are simple, clean and comfortable. The view from the terrace is unreal! What can i say? Camps got everything you need but got nothing you dont need :)
And remember this is not just a surfcamp! You can leave the camp knowing that you, apart from getting world class surf, also contributed to the villagers of Grupuk, however indirectly just by staying at SCL (read more on the website about the local projects)

See you in September!

We visited surfcamp in februari 2010 for two weeks and had a blast. Not only did we get to learn how to surf but we got the oppurtunity to see the really cool island Lombok. We think it was like the perfect lift-off for our trip as we continued through asia after our two weeks on Lombok.

We hope well get the chance to come back sometime soon!

Let me paint you a picture:

It's 4;30 in the morning, and you downing the first of maybe 10 cups of coffee today.
It's pitch black outside the only thing you hear is geckos and crickets.
The smell of surfvax reminds you why your up so early.

On the boatride out nobody says a word. All of a sudden it starts pouring down, in 10 seconds it turns from 25 degrees too 15.
With only a flashlight and lightnings in the distant to guide us you finally reach your goal.

It's still dark when you jump in the water, it feels like a warm bath and the only thing missing is
bubbles and scented candles.
You can hardly see the sets but you definitely hear them.

Out on the lineup a dark wall is rising towards you and you start to paddle, just hoping your not to deep
you take off and when you running down the line you see light reflecting for the first time.. like i mirror
no wind, no sounds, just soft water in front of you and your heart beating like crazy.

when you pull off, the only thing running though your head is one more,one more..one more.

The sun rises and when the last set's rolling in you're exhausted. but you set out for the biggest one anyway.
someone screams paddle, paddle hard! your at the edge of the thing when you feel a little helping hand
on your foot, and you know you've got it.. POP UP!
you see the section closest too you is closing so you race down the line and after that it's just sweet waveface
you can't help but smile when even the locals is giving you the thumps up and screaming.

the euphoria on the boat back home is ridiculous, breakfast is waiting.. then some sunset surf

now thats surfing for you!
