We need to assess your experience in surfing, to be able to teach you what you need to learn as effectively as possible.
OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE DEVELOPED A FORMULA TO TEACH THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF SURFING ON ALL LEVELS AND WILL USE THIS AS A ROAD MAP. BUT, THE MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY.
DEPENDING ON THE GROUP WE WILL CUSTOMISE THE COURSE CONTENT AND APPLY WHAT TURNS OUT TO BE RELEVANT AND WANTED.

Equipment
We have a quiver of surfboards in varying sizes, ranging from short sticks to huge logs, so you can test different board dimensions and make the most of all conditions.
If you have your own board, we recommend bringing it. Nothing is better than learning to handle your own board like a pro.
Bring accessories if possible, and suitable surf clothing, shades & sunscreen/zinc.
Our course provides two surfs a day via boat, and or road trips to more advanced waves and the potential of taking boats out of the bay, all depending on swells and condition, along with the time of year.
Depending on experience, more critical waves can be surfed with a safety first approach while at the same time taking you out of your comfort zone to give you the feeling all surfers spend their lives chasing.
Stretching, yoga and anything endurance related is highly recommended before your holiday here in Lombok.
Our expert coaching team is experienced in teaching all levels, including first-time surfers.
Surfing is always the top priority here.
At the camp everything revolves around surfing. There are of course other activities like yoga, free diving, spear fishing and skating going on as a part of camp life.
But surfing always takes priority. When the surf is pumping everyones is getting amongst it even the maintenance crew.
So after about a week of surfing twice a day, we recommend a day of rest and will include a day-trip by car or boat to explore the island
We organise a waterfall trek, snorkling, cliff jumping, paragliding or a sauna and ice bath day, depending on preference, energy and conditions.
In general surfing will always be THE top priority but there’s also the option to just relax in the tree house with a book, rip in the skate bowl, or enjoy interesting conversations with people from all over the world.
As on land, so in the sea! We’ve put 15 years into building and refining our course content so our theory lessons will help you understand the whys and hows of surfing. Rather than simply giving straight up instructions, we help you understand the principles of physics that come into play in the water so that what you learn here will be retained even after you leave the surfcamp.
In the water, you’ll be guided by our skilled local coaches and receive real time feedback so you can make adjustments that will alter your performance. Our Western coaches also do photo review sessions as often as needed so that you can learn from your mistakes as well as those of others.
