So where to beging
The Surf lessons them selves are really well executed and Dex and his team so professional and relaxed you can't help but feel comfortable. In a group (which is always more fun and you end up making great friends off the back of it) Dex gives everyone confidence and breaks everything down into basic elements and dosn't overloading with information... I'd never set foot on a surf board before and at the end of day 1 (with Dex's help) I was catching white water breaks no problem! Over the corse of the 5 days, him and his team managed to get me to a stage where I was reading non broken waves... even catching a couple by myself!
The only slight downside to such an intensive course is for a novice over the 5 days is it can take it's tole on the body as you use muscles that (unless your a surfer/athlete) don't get used in every day life (especially round the ribs). So its essential that you use your downtime to relax.. stretching and massages are a must but Dex and Jenni recommend me some excellent people and places that provide such services on the island.
In fact nothing is a problem for these guys, laundry, snorkeling equipment hire to see the Turtils, local eating place recommendations... Just ask, Jenni and Dex are happy to help with big smiles, big harts and positive vibes... Even without the surfing you'll wanna come back... Which is exactly what I did staying for an extra surf lesson and a few more days to chill
So where to begin... Kubu Surf School has to be one of THE BEST travel experiences of my life and THE BEST! start to any long term trip ever ... And it's basically all down to Dex, Jenni and the team!
As a solo travel from the start I was made to feel so welcome at the lovely little bungalows on Gili Trawangan where chose to base myself. The bungalows sleep 2 with total 4 on site and are beautiful designed with a balcony a hammock (got to love a hammock right!) and the best privert shower/toilet I've experienced in this type of beach bungalow accomodation!
I decided to pay for a full 6 day 5 night surf package that included most EVERYTHING!...The accomodation, the surf lesonss (1.5 hrs per lesson), surf equipment, free use of a bycycle (esential on Gili T) free wifi, free breakfast (ask for the banana pancake 'Ryan' special... supurb!) Free water, free coffee, free filming on lesson 5 of you Surfing (something to show the grandkids one day!) And of corse the free 'Sexy Shower!'... always welcome after a hard days surf!
Another posible option is to combine the Surfing with Yoga, swapping between days, prehaps giving a more of a ballence if you like to mix up your excersise. (I know this is available on Gili T but you may have to check for Senggig)
Now something to mention is the School its self actually has 2 sites, one on Gili T and one based on Lombok at Senggig. This may sound a little confusing but actually works really well as it allows you to decide where you would prefer to be based and then (when possible) travel between the 2 sites and get two different surfing experiences for the price of one.
With BBQ's, Reggae bars and incredible sunsets thrown into the mix.... this ends up being more than just a surf camp... It's a life experience
We provide Airport Transfers from and to (LOP) Lombok International Airport. and they can be booked in the booking steps.

Beginners to experts will appreciate the region
Bongkas, Gili Trawangan
Level: All Levels
Furthest west of the 3 small Gili islands where the shallow fringing reef of the southern tip can serve up fast, hollow, but generally flawed right lines. Tricky wave to ride and plenty of current so experience required. Needs hefty S to SW swells to clear the coral that is usually frequented by snorkeling tourists.

One of Indonesia's best coastlines for all levels of surf. Surfing in Lombok is also less crowded and more relaxed than surfing in some spots in Bali.
Lombok is known for its world famous spot Desert Point, also known as Bangko bangko beach. This long walled and incredibly hollow left hander that on a great day can break for up to 300 meters, growing in size as it runs. Best between the range of 3-8 ft. Located on the South West Coast of Lombok, 3 hours drive from Kuta. On its day Desert Point is regarded as one of the best waves on the planet. Barrels of 20 seconds have been filmed there and 10 second tubes are common. Full or new moon low tides, a south east wind and a big swell are needed, most consistent from May to October. It can go weeks without waves, but just one Desert Point bomb will make the wait worth it. Experienced surfers only. Bring your booties an a good tube riding board.
Kuta Lombok is "surfers' paradise". Waves are excellent and many good surf points, such as Mawi, Mawun and is a good base to get to a lot of Lombok's waves. A good area for beginners and intermediate surfers.
Gerupuk Bay is a large bay about 7 km east Kuta. The bay itself is home to five different spots which offer waves on different swells and wind directions. Waves are accessible by boat and the bay offers waves most of the time.
Inside Gerupuk : is a right-hander over a flat reef. It is suitable for all levels an has fun waves, with a long wall and a forgiving lip. On big days with a Southwest swell it can be a great spot to surf. This break is surfable at any seasons and can handle any wind, even the trade wind, as it is protected by the surrounding hills. Best on an incoming tide and can hold 10ft solid.
Outside Gerupuk: a right-hander that is good at mid to high tide, better take your booties at low. Multiple peaks outside offer big drops on takeoff bending into a hollow and fast inside section. Can hold 8-10ft but is best at 4-6ft, from October to April.
Don-Don: The furthest break inside the bay and as a result needs a bigger swell to break. Don Don is a perfect A-frame peak walling and bending both left and right. For all level of surfers. Can be good in any season as long as the winds are light. Works on any tide, with out going tide the best time.
Kid's Point is another right-hander, only breaks on the biggest days, but when it works, its barrel city. Best on an incoming tide.
Are Gulung is a right hand reef break located on the west side of Kuta. Access by boat and land is possible. This break is one of the best right hander on the South Coast. Mid to low tides can see the inside section doubling up and barreling. A left hander on the other side of the bay is surfable, though only when its small. Need a north-west wind, most common from October to April. Are Guling can hold 8-10ft when perfect, but is best at 4-6ft.
Seger Beach is located just 2 km from Kuta. Seger is a right reef break, with the occasional left off the peak. A good place when the swell drops. On mid tides and offshore winds this can be a great spot, with short tubes and bowly walls ready for any move you can think of. Need a light wind or north west wind, around Oct-April...
Mawi is located 20 minutes west of Kuta. On small days this reef break offers a nice peak with short hollow rights and lefts. At 6ft plus, Mawi transforms into a heaving left barrel, with elevator drops and heavy hold downs. At 8-10ft it’s not a spot for the faint hearted. Best on mid tides and a south east trade wind, from May to September.
Ekas Bay is located to the east of Kuta and takes about 30 minutes by car to Awang and then another 20 mins by boat across the bay. Ekas is home to two spots.
Outside Ekas: is a left hander that starts working over 5ft and holds up to 10ft. The wave offers huge drops, acres of open face to carve and a ton of power to spare. Best on mid to high tides and a south east wind.
Inside Ekas: Located further inside the bay from Outside Ekas. A fun, walling peak, that can handle real size. Needs a big swell and south east winds, but on it day can offer very long rides and barrels on the inside of the right. Low tides for the right, higher tides for the left and holds 12ft plus.
