Intermediate Surf Coaching Clinics
January 10th – March 7th, 2025
Beginner Surf Lessons! Available at one of the softer waves with one of our ISA qualified coaches at Rp.500.000 per session, or you can opt for a 4 or 5 lesson package and receive a discount. This is the perfect opportunity if travelling with your surfing partner to learn to surf in paradise!
Our intermediate surf coaching clinics have been running annually in January and February since 2018, and we’ve always received great feedback with many guests returning to be coached again for a second or a third time. You can check out our customer testimonials here What was once known as the “off-season” for surf charter boats that needed to dry-dock to do their annual maintenance in January and February has become known as one of the prime times to visit Macaronis Resort to score empty perfect waves while improving your surfing!
Our surf coaching clinics are designed with your surfing progress and enjoyment in mind, offered in a relaxed atmosphere to help develop your physical and mental abilities while having a great time! Check out this article by Magic Seaweed about visiting in the low season and taking part in our Surf Coaching clinics. Our 2025 coaching clinics have a duration of 1 week per clinic over 8 weeks, but you can stay longer if you want to.
During the coaching sessions, normally, there are 8 surfers per coach to provide one-on-one coaching (as per ISA standards), and our accommodation is limited to one surfer per room to keep a cap on surfer numbers, except in the case of surfing couples or dad and kids, where we can allow 2 surfers per room. By having your own room, you get to enjoy more privacy and comfort with a choice of queen or twin beds, and you can bring along your partner, a non-surfing companion, or the whole family if you’d like to! Our family suites are also available if requiring more room, please enquire for details. Regular services, facilities, and activities are available to keep everybody stoked and having a great time with exciting things to do.

Meet Your Surf Coaching Team
Our surf coaches are International Surfing Association (ISA) accredited having the experience and qualifications to help you improve quickly and surf to your full potential. Macaronis Resort will also be hosting specialist fitness coaches during each of the 4 weeks offering an optional Strength, Stretch, Breath, and Recovery (SSBR) program, while our two photographers will be providing video playback sessions for coaching purposes, showing photos of the days surfing each evening which is always a lot of fun, and offering professional photography packages to take home with you; all included in the surf coaching package!
Macaronis Resort hosts, Dedi, Wewe, and the rest of the team will be making sure everybody is happy and well looked after, with all of the regular services, facilities, and activities to take part in as well.
It’s one of the best times of the year to visit with very few other surfers around and we’re limiting participants to 20 surfers per week, so it’s best to book early to be assured of a spot. We will be regularly visiting surrounding surf breaks as well, so guests and coaches can take turns surfing at Macaronis and at the other classic Southern Mentawai breaks to enjoy some variety and to spread people around so the line-up does not become too busy.

“First trip to the Mentawais. I came for a surf trip and got exactly that! The staff at Macaroni’s made the daily routine so easy. The flexible meal times and prompt service made the day so easy. Could not think of anything that would make a better surf resort. The boat transfers trips to Macas wave were perfect. The coaching was better than expected- gave me things to work on when I practice when catching waves. Would decently recommend it to anyone who is an intermediate surfer and do this with Chris, Dave, and Sami. Thanks again to all the Macas crew all so lovely, and cool! I’ll be back next year.”
“Thank you Macaronis for a wonderful time. Big thanks to Chris, Dave, & Sami for teaching us valuable lifelong surfing techniques and for guiding us in our journey. This has been the best experience I have ever had. Love the surf coaching programs and surf fitness training programs …Love to all and hope to see you guys in the future.”
“This week has been one of the best of my life. All thanks to the coaches, the staff, and mother nature. My surfing has increased tenfold and what I have learned here I‘ll take with me for years to come. Big thanks.”
“The whole week was spot on. We had waves all week and I feel like my surfing improved so much faster than I had hoped. The staff & coaching made the trip perfect and thanks for the spot-on direction /advice from the coaches. I will certainly be back.”
