Your first session

Introduction to the reef break – 1 surf lesson

The class begins with 30 minutes of surf theory. Learn how the reef break works by looking at currents, reference points, tides and wind. Then take a short boat ride to the surf area.

Practice in the waves of Nusa Lembongan is tailored to each student. Your instructor stays close in the water and helps you find the right position to catch a green, unbroken wave. They watch your stance, body position, technique and approach to the wave, then give you specific tips to improve.

With three students per instructor, there’s time for individual feedback in the water. After the lesson, return by boat to Monkey Surf School to debrief the session.
