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.

- 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

Book now and enjoy up to 30% off the Surfer package for our 2027 Surf Coaching Clinics.
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, 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.
