FAQs
Everything you need to know before paddling out with us.
In the water
Coaching & sessions
What level is the coaching suitable for?
All levels: complete beginners, intermediates working on green waves, and advanced surfers refining technique. Every session is tailored to exactly where your surfing is right now.
Is surf equipment provided (board, leash, wetsuit)?
Board and leash yes, and the water is warm year-round (27 to 29 °C), so no wetsuit needed. A rash guard is included too.
How many people per coach / what’s the group size?
Private 1:1 or 1:2 only, never a crowded group. On trips we keep the crew small and personal.
How does the video coaching work?
Video coaching is available as an optional add-on for a small extra charge. We film your sessions and analyse your surfing in detail, breaking down each wave to help you progress as fast as possible. You keep all your videos.
Can children learn to surf?
Yes! We coach groms from around age 5, always one-on-one with their own instructor. See our kids surf lessons.
What language is the coaching in?
English: relaxed, clear and easy to follow. A few words of Indonesian come free of charge.
Is surfing in Medewi safe for beginners?
Yes, with the right guidance. We start beginners on the soft, sandy beach at Yeh Sumbul, and our coaches read the conditions every day. You’ll only ever be where it’s right for your level.
Will coaching still help if I’ve been surfing for years?
Absolutely. There’s always room to grow. We work on technique, positioning, wave selection and confidence in different conditions, no matter your experience.
Before you come
Booking & packages
What’s included in a surf trip / coaching package?
Every package includes coaching sessions with experienced coaches, your surfboard and leash, theory on technique and safety, and video analysis depending on the package. Surf trips also include transport to the best spots and spot selection based on the day’s conditions.
How do I book a surf trip?
Send us a WhatsApp with your level and dates. We’ll suggest the right trip and handle everything else. No payment needed to enquire.
Can I change my dates?
Absolutely. If your plans change, just send us a message on WhatsApp and we’ll rearrange your dates, no problem at all.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, bank transfer and Wise. Card payments aren’t available yet. Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll send you all the payment details.
On the day
Meeting up & what to bring
What should I bring?
Just a swimsuit, a towel and good vibes. We take care of the surf gear.
Where do we meet for the lesson?
Depends on the spot we choose for the day. We’ll confirm the meeting point beforehand, and we’re happy to pick you up around Medewi or Yeh Sumbul.
When are you open / what’s your surf season?
All year. The dry season (April to October) brings the most consistent swell, but Medewi delivers fun waves in the wet season too, often with even fewer people.
What time do the surf sessions take place?
Usually in the morning when conditions are cleanest. We confirm the exact time the evening before, based on tide and swell.

Still got a question?
We reply fast, usually within a few hours.
