Frequently asked questions
What do I need to bring for my surf lesson?
You will need to bring surfing shorts, sunscreen, and a towel. In other words, things you would normally bring to the beach.
You may bring your own surfboard or we will provide a board appropriate for you. Board hire is included when you take group surf lessons or private surf lessons. Our team will help guide you to choose the right board according to your skill level and the day’s conditions.
No wetsuit is required due to the warmth of the Bali water year-round, but we do provide rash vests.
How long does each surf lesson last?
Our typical day is split into two surf sessions. There is no fixed duration, but each session is usually between 1.5 and 2 hours.
What if the weather is bad at Padang Padang?
When the weather is poor in Padang Padang, we often head to Nusa Dua where the surf conditions will be better.
Do I need any surfing experience?
No, you do not need prior surfing experience to take surf lessons. In fact, we specialize in teaching complete beginners with no prior surfing experience.
Are there any age restrictions?
While there is no strict age limit, surfing is a physically demanding sport. So we generally recommend that children be at least 10 years old. But we’re happy to accommodate younger children provided they are comfortable in the water and accompanied by an adult.
Who are beginner surf lessons for?
Our beginner surfing lessons are suitable for anyone who has never surfed before, has very little experience with surfing, or it’s been a long time since you last surfed.
We also provide lessons for intermediate surfers and surf guiding for advanced surfers.
If you require help deciding if our beginner surf lessons are right for you, then please do not hesitate to contact us.
How do we determine where to surf each day?
We constantly monitor the surf conditions, interpreting the wind, and tide, and making adjustments to your surfing destination based on the data. We are experts at interpreting the data and will choose the best location for you based on the daily surfing conditions.
We have a selection of favourite surf spots for beginner lessons, and we choose the best one for the day.
Scheduling for the first session is done the night before, and the second session is scheduled following the first session because this gives us the best data in terms of the expected surfing conditions, enabling us to make the most informed decision.
How quickly can I expect to make progress?
The rate of progress can vary for each individual. However, we aim to get you standing on your surfboard and riding the waves by the end of your first lesson.
