Insider Tips for Surfing Success:
- Timing is Key: Visit Lombok during the dry season (May to September) for optimal surfing conditions, with consistent swells and offshore winds creating perfect waves.
- Respect the Locals: Embrace the local culture and show respect to fellow surfers and the environment. Follow surfing etiquette and be mindful of local customs to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
- Safety First: Always prioritize safety by wearing appropriate surf gear, staying aware of your surroundings, and knowing your limits. If in doubt, seek guidance from experienced surfers or local instructors.
- Embrace the Adventure: Beyond surfing, take time to explore Lombok’s natural beauty, immerse yourself in the island’s vibrant culture, and savor delicious local cuisine for a truly unforgettable experience.
Tricks to Enhance Your Surfing Experience:
- Practice Patience: Surfing is a journey of learning and growth. Be patient with yourself, stay persistent, and celebrate small victories along the way.
- Focus on Technique: Pay attention to your body positioning, paddling technique, and timing when catching waves. Mastering these fundamentals will improve your overall performance in the water.

Lazora Bernardus 2024-05-12 Great surf team that is perfect for intermediate surfers! Went to 3 different places in 4 days which was very nice and chilled with some of the instructors for nice sunset spots. Perfect when you are a solo traveller who wants to explore the best surf spots in Kuta. Thanks for everything!
Emmanuelle REYFTMANN 2024-05-08 A team of super friendly, dynamic and patient coaches. We had an unforgettable time !
Johanna Pinn 2024-05-07 100% recommend! 🏄🏼♀️ The guys organized everything from transport to UV shirts and the group size was just perfect to really see improvements in a short time with great instructions! I’d book a course here again any day 🤙🏼
Alice Shin 2024-05-06 I spent the whole two weeks with this silly and skillful team at Kuta Lombok Surf school.
I’d recommend this team in a heart beat. Aquila is a respected surfer/ leader in this area, and you can tell by how other local surf sherpas as I’d like to call them follow his lead.
I would recommend this to surfers of all skills - beginner to advanced.
Note: here in Lombok, you shouldn’t go out on your own searching for waves. All breaks we had to take a boat out further into the ocean. Surf schools arrange hotel pick up/drop off, and boat rides, AND stay with you to ensure you can catch as many waves as possible. They also have an in-house photographer Melody, which comes at an additional cost.
Highlight was our weekend trip to a beach that’s about an hour and a half away from town. They brought fish and grilled it for us and that was quite an interesting experience.
Thank you for an amazing time Aquila, J.Billy, Melodi.
Also for inquiries communicate with Dika.
Enes Öztürk 2024-04-30 “I don't like customers just asking to get info only” was the last message I got from them.
I asked the same questions to other schools also and this was the definitely the worst approach I have seen in Kuta so far, not booking a single session with them and would not recommend to anyone neither.
As clients we are here to ask questions to learn. Not receive disrespectful messages
Megan T 2024-04-30 As a beginner surfer this was an absolutely awful experience. On the first wave I rode I was pushed far away into the ocean by a wave and spent the entire rest of the lesson trying to paddle back to the group in the middle of the sea and was not supported at all. I was told I should have booked a private surf lesson if I can’t paddle well. I have done surf lessons elsewhere and was able to actually stand and ride plenty of waves. Horrible experience and I was treated like it was my fault that they wouldn’t teach me anything. Do not recommend.
Bethan Ashley 2024-04-30 Shout out to surf instructors Billy, Aqila, Madun & Mellodi on photos for bringing the good vibes, jokes and going out their way to help everyone.
Thank you for welcoming us so easily into your surf family 🤙🏼
Felix Eylers 2024-04-28 We met those guys randomly at a beach far away from Lombok with their group of surfers.
We wanted to surf but couldnt find a rental and they were helping us with everything with the locals.
They even invited us for grilled fish and rice at the beach.
They are fun and helped the beginners in that group with everything.
Just go with them they are funny, super friendly and just good people.
Thanks again from Oleg, Simon & Felix ❤️❤️🤙
Tiffany Lui 2024-04-21 I had a really great time having lessons with Aqila and Billy.
They took us to different surf spots on different days, making sure we are all catching waves suitable to our levels.
Originally just booked 2 lessons but went for one more lesson with them as they are really good!
