  • What time are lessons?
    Our lesson times will change daily because we take into account the daily tides and conditions when choosing the right time for a lesson. We will confirm your exact lesson time with you 24 hours before, and can give you a rough estimate if needed a few days in advance!
  • Will I be able to stand up on my first lesson?
    Everyone will learn at a different pace, and we do encourage having more than one lesson if it fits your time and budget. However, for your first lesson we will teach you until you are able to catch a wave. Having fun is always the goal!
  • How do I know which type of lessons to book?
    Our first waves lessons is for anyone that has never surfed or considers themselves a beginner to surfing. If if you stand up consistently and are ready to progress to learn how to turn, speed up, duck dive, etc then check out our surf guiding options for my in depth 1:1 coaching. If you are unsure which lesson is best for you contact us and we can help you! WhatsApp: +62 881 0377 76529
  • Can I use my own board during a lesson?
    For beginner lessons, the surfboard will be included in the price. If you are booking a surf guide lesson, we assume you have your own board and want to improve with your equipment. However if you're taking a guiding lesson and didn't travel with a board let us know! We will see if we have a board that is right for you in our quiver, or can help you source a suitable rental board for an extra cost.
  • Can I change my lesson date and time?
    We understand that things change quickly when on holiday so can be flexible and try to accommodate you by rescheduling your lesson, but we do ask you try to let us know if anything changes 24 hours in advance so we can offer your space to another student! Please contact us via WhatsApp to discuss any schedule changes: WhatsApp: +62 881 0377 76529
  • Do you provide lessons for kids?
    Yes, absolutely. We love to opportunity to get kids in the water and on a surfboard. Teach them while they’re young! We recommended 1:1 coaching for children so that we can give them our undivided attention. Often for very young kids, we will take them on a board with us the first time so they feel safe and secure.
