If it’s your first time surfing, knowing where to start can feel unclear.
Our beginner sessions are designed to give you a clear structure — so you know exactly what to do, from the moment you enter the water.
• What to do before your first wave
• How to position yourself safely in the lineup
• When to paddle — and when to wait
• How to stand up with control, not guesswork
So instead of just trying, you understand what’s happening — from your very first session.

Questions You May Have
Yes — Batu Bolong is known for its soft, long, rolling waves, perfect for beginners.
However, conditions change with swell and tide, and timing is essential for a safe and enjoyable session.
We always plan your lesson according to the best ocean conditions of the day. Once we know your schedule, we’ll recommend the ideal time to ensure you have the safest and most rewarding experience in the water.
You only need basic comfort in the water to join.
If you’re not fully confident swimming, we provide life jackets for additional support, or you may bring your own.
Safety is always our first priority, and every session is guided with close attention in the water.
Yes, beginner sessions are private-focused. Or semi private (1 : 2) one instructor and 2 clients. Possibility of semi-private depends on the ocean conditions that day. Our clients’ safety is our priority, so we monitor the conditions closely and will let you know whether the day you want to surf is suitable for a semi-private class.
