Diving into the world of surfing is thrilling, but finding the right surf school can make all the difference in your journey. Whether you’re a beginner eager to catch your first wave or an intermediate surfer looking to refine your skills, selecting the perfect school sets the stage for an epic adventure. Let’s explore what to look for in a surf school that caters to both beginners and intermediates alike.
A Trusted Reputation
When you’re new to the world of surfing, having confidence in your instructors is key. Look for schools with glowing reviews and a solid reputation for providing excellent instruction. For intermediates, seek out schools known for taking skills to the next level with advanced techniques and personalized coaching.
Expert Instruction
As a beginner, you’ll want patient instructors who can guide you through the basics with ease. Intermediate surfers, on the other hand, crave instructors who can fine-tune their techniques and challenge them to improve. Find a school with experienced instructors who can cater to both skill levels and inspire confidence in every student.
Personalized Attention
Learning to surf is a personal journey, and individualized attention can make all the difference. Beginners benefit from small class sizes and hands-on instruction, while intermediates thrive with tailored feedback and targeted skill-building exercises. Look for a school that values personalized learning experiences for every student.
Safety First
Safety is paramount in the world of surfing, especially for beginners navigating the waves for the first time. Choose a school that prioritizes safety with thorough equipment checks, comprehensive safety briefings, and experienced instructors who know how to keep students safe in the water. Intermediate surfers should also seek out schools that emphasize safety as they tackle more challenging waves.
A Sense of Community
Surfing is more than just a sport; it’s a way of life and a community of like-minded individuals. Look for a school that fosters a supportive and inclusive environment where beginners can feel welcomed and encouraged, and intermediates can connect with fellow surfers and share their passion for the sport.
Whether you’re a beginner dipping your toes into the world of surfing or an intermediate surfer looking to take your skills to new heights, choosing the right surf school is crucial.

Lazora Bernardus2024-05-12Great 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 REYFTMANN2024-05-08A team of super friendly, dynamic and patient coaches. We had an unforgettable time !
Johanna Pinn2024-05-07100% 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 Shin2024-05-06I 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 Öztürk2024-04-30“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 T2024-04-30As 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 Ashley2024-04-30Shout 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 Eylers2024-04-28We 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 Lui2024-04-21I 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!
