INSTRUCTION

We are dedicated to offering the highest quality surf instruction on the market. We know there are a multitude of other surf schools and tours that you could choose from, but we believe that our program is unique thanks to the individual attention we give our clients and to the quality and nature of our coaches. Our program is also unique because rather than being confined to just one beach, as most surf schools are, our Bali surf tour lessons take place at a variety beaches and breaks along the spectacular Bali & Java coastline.

OUR BALI/JAVA INSTRUCTION PROGRAM

Beginners
Our Bali surf camp is NOT suited to "first timers" who have never surfed before. However, if you can stand up and catch small waves this trip is suitable for you. It's the perfect introduction to surfing in Indonesia and is ideal if you want to become an intermediate surfer. In addition to beach breaks you will be introduced to reef and point breaks.

Intermediates
The instruction program for our Bali surf camp is especially designed for intermediate surfers and will ensure that intermediate surfers optimize their technique, develop their style, and challenge their performance. At the beginning of the trip we’ll assess your particular development needs and then work with you to achieve them. The goal of our Bali surf camp is to refine your technique, maximize your confidence, and get you working on new skills and maneuvers. Intermediate surfers who would like to perform more technical maneuvers will be encouraged to surf more confidently and aggressively by taking full advantage of the waveface. You will be taught to better control your board by performing drop-offs, precise bottom turns, and by working your board through slow sections into fast pockets. Your surf knowledge will be enhanced through informal workshops on such topics as wave patterns, currents, tides, potentially dangerous situations, priority rules and surf report reading. Video coaching is also an important component of our program and will be available in the evenings to help you solidify the skills you have learned during the day.

Advanced
Our instruction program is not designed for advanced surfers, but advanced surfers are welcome to join our Bali surf camp and will benefit greatly from the local knowledge and access to ‘secret’ spots that our local guides provide.

We base our surf programs on the following points:

• Individual attention: Many surf schools & camps process so many clients each week, they cannot afford to give students the individual attention they deserve. Although our lessons are group lessons, we treat each client as an individual – identifying their particular development needs and learning goals and working with them to ensure these needs are met.

• Low instructor-to-guest ratio: In order to ensure clients receive the attention they deserve, we use a much lower client-to-coach ratio than do many surf schools and camps. Our client-to-coach ratio is a maximum of 1:4 (often it is better), whereas many surf schools use a ratio of 1:8.

• Proprietary coaching program: Our team of expert instructors has worked hard to develop an instruction program that maximizes client learning and is tailored to the specific needs of our clients.

• Maximum flexibility & All-day coaching: Although we base our surfing instruction on a comprehensive plan, we nevertheless keep it as flexible, relaxed, and tailored to the individual as possible. The atmosphere we create is more one of surfing with friends than partaking in a lesson. Our instructors will surf alongside you giving you tips and encouragement; they won’t line you up in a large group and teach from a generic lesson plan as you find in a typical surf school experience. Also unlike typical surf schools, we don’t limit you to just a few hours of instruction per day; our instructors are available to encourage you and give you tips all day long. You can use our instructors as little or as much as you like, and you can push yourself as much as you choose.

• Highest quality coaches: We work hard to select the best possible instructors. Our coaches are expert surfers who are certified to instruct by the Australian surf association. Perhaps even more importantly, our instructors are fun, open and easy-going people who love to teach.

• Video coaching & workshops: To maximize your learning, we use video coaching and informal evening workshops.

• Long-term improvement: Surfing is a challenging sport and you may not master all the skills and techniques you desire during your short time with us. One of the goals of surf school, therefore, is to give you all the knowledge and advice that you need to be able to continue to learn from us months and even years after you’ve left us.

• Unforgettable experience: Although we want you to maximize your surf performance, our most important goal is that you have a fantastic time while traveling with us. For this reason we work hard to create a supportive, relaxed and fun atmosphere and to create an itinerary that is unique and full of variety.
