Firstly, there’s no right or wrong surf camp. All surf camps have their unique selling points, each one offering an awesome experience tailored to different skill levels and interests. Whether you’re a beginner looking to catch your first wave or an intermediate seeking more challenging breaks, the perfect surf camp is out there waiting for you!
Surf Vibes, Canggu
Location: Bali, Indonesia
Duration: 5 days, 7 sessions
Instructor: 1 instructor per 2 students
Intensity: Mid-high
Perfect for:
- Beginners who want to catch their first wave. Our step-by-step approach will have you confidently riding waves in no time.
- Pro-beginners who want to improve. We’ll help you refine your skills and take your surfing to the next level.
Every session is filmed, making it our ONLY surf camp to offer this feature. Those in the know are well aware that video sessions are typically pricey, but we include them because we know how valuable these footage are for improving, and how funny it is to watch each other fail and fall!
With such detailed learning and a high number of sessions, everyone is sure to be able to catch waves and improve by the end of the camp.

Ride with Monsoon
Location: Lombok, Indonesia
Duration: 5 days, 9 sessions
Instructor: 1 instructor per student
Intensity: High
Perfect for: Beginners, pro-beginners, intermediates
You will have high-intensity surf sessions here — one on the first day, then two per day for the next four days, so there’s no doubt you’ll see a lot of progress by the end. It’s our ONLY surf camp currently offering a 1:1 instructor-to-student ratio, and with the highest number of sessions, this camp is pricier. But is it worth it? Hear it straight from our stoked participants!

Lembongan Swell Seekers
Location: Nusa Lembongan (an island near Bali), Indonesia
Duration: 3.5 days, 4 sessions
Intensity: Low-mid
Perfect for:
- Beginners, if you want to see if surfing is up your alley, without having to commit to too many lessons or using up too many annual leaves, this is perfect for you!
- Those past the beginner stage who have already experienced Bali’s waves and are looking for a new spot to explore.
- Anyone looking to chill, away from bustling Canggu/Seminyak and enjoy a slower, simpler pace on an island!
This camp includes four sessions, one per day, because the surf spots around Nusa Lembongan typically work at certain times of the day with shorter windows. Sessions are extendable and participants are always welcome to do so! When we’re not surfing, we can explore the island together. Our first trip will be this August, so there are no reviews yet, but we’re excited to share this new adventure with you!
Here’s a YouTube video to give you a better idea.
Siargao Wave Wonderland
Location: Siargao, Philippines
Duration: 5 days, 6 sessions
Intensity: Low-mid
Perfect for:
- Those keen on exploring another paradise other than Bali AND picking up surfing.
- The best seasons are September-December and March-May, but fringe seasons are always good for beginners and those practicing on being independent and catching their own waves.
Siargao is suuuuuper beautiful, like Hawaii in Southeast Asia. Note that it’s less accessible than Bali, both in terms of getting to the island and getting around once we’re there. But don’t worry, there are local transport options! We’ll have it all figured out. 🙂
