What to Expect
Our clinics are designed to help you progress in a relaxed, supportive environment. With fewer surfers in the water, you’ll catch more waves and get the most out of every session.

  • Maximum 8 surfers per coach (ISA standard)
  • Limited to 20 Surfers per trip, so book early.
  • Bring your partner, a non‑surfing companion, or the whole family
  • Family suites available on request
  • Full access to all resort services, facilities, and activities

Meet Your Surf Coaching Team 

Our ISA‑accredited surf coaches are here to fast‑track your progress and help you improve your skills in every aspect of your surf.

Each clinic includes our optional Strength, Stretch, Breath & Recovery (SSBR) sessions, plus daily video playback with our in‑house photographers. Enjoy a fun evening photo review and take home a professional photo package — all included in your coaching program.

Our resort hosts — Dedi, Fritz, Raju, and the team — will make sure you’re fully taken care of with all services and activities available throughout your stay.

With very few surfers in the area during those months and only 20 spots per week, this is one of the best times of the year to visit. We’ll also rotate between Macaronis and nearby Southern Mentawai breaks depending on the forecast to give you more waves, more variety, and more progression.

In 2010, he made history as the first Indonesian to win an Australian Pro Junior event and has since competed internationally, including a runner-up finish at the 2019 So Sri Lanka Pro.

“Plenty of head-high plus waves in the off-season. There were several super uncrowded sessions. Amazing, caring staff who all remember your name from the first day. They are happy and genuine people. It is such an awesome coaching clinic that really wants to help you improve. They go out of their way to help and do their very best. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, with awesome views. It’s hard to get here, but it’s worth the trek. Also, we enjoyed the guitar and PA system to play with.”

Chris & Heidi

“Thank you for a wonderful holiday. I came for the surf coaching, and it exceeded my expectations. Agus & Ari are amazing, and their knowledge and passion to help everyone improve is second to none. In our first week, Dave was incredibly insightful. Matt, in the second week, is truly inspiring. To all the Macaronis staff – kitchen, cleaning, engineering, boats, restaurant and office, you do an amazing job of making everyone’s time special.”

Paul

“Had the best week at Maccas. Amazing location, facilities, and staff. Not only did we score unreal waves, but combined with the mentorship from the surf coaches, I felt my surfing really improved. The classes run by Sammy were a really great addition to the daily routine, and I could see how much of a difference it made in the water. The photography package exceeded my expectations. Overall, it was one of the best trips I’ve had.”
