THE
TRIP

OCTOBER 14-25, 2024 aboard the Star Koat 2

Improve Your Surfing, Work with World Class Coaches, and Do It All with a Legendary Group of People in an Amazing Part of the World.  This is far more than your average surf trip.  These trips are intended to impact your surfing for years to come. 

The intention of this trip is to get barreled, or at the very least, surf the highest quality waves on offer during our swell window!

We aren't looking for hell-man or hell-woman chargers that want to surf double overhead super shallow reef.  But, we are going to be chasing high-performance waves, and if solid barrel options in the 4-6+ foot range are on offer, that's what we'll be surfing!

This coaching camp experience is a step up from our "Ments for First-Timer trips", and will require that surfers have previous reef-surfing experience, and have solid fundamentals in place. 

Be open to learning, pushing your boundaries, and exploring your potential.  Explore the holistic nature of surfing progression, from mindset and breath work, to movement, to your headspace, to just pushing it in bigger surf-situations.  Surf some of the best waves in the world.  Chill. Have some laughs. Improve your surfing. Get video analysis. Be stoked.  Get barreled (hopefully!).

It’s time you do something for yourself, and your surfing! A World Class trip of a lifetime, surfing, learning, coaching, nutritional coaching, video analysis, longevity, more coaching, more surfing, and an all-around incredible experience.
Locations of Surf:
  • The Mentawais.  Exact Location Will Vary Based on Swell and Winds.  The Intent of the Trip is to Explore the Mentawais and Score Uncrowded World Class Surf, and surf barrel options if available. 
  • What Level of Surfer for This Trip?
  • This trip is aimed at Solid Intermediate Surfers and up.   What's that mean?  We'll be surfing nearly ALL reef break, ranging in size from 2-4 foot, and upwards of 6+ depending on swell.   The goal of the trip is a LOT of fun 3-6foot perfect Indonesian reef break, and bigger if swell is on offer.  If legit barrel waves are ON, that's what we'll be surfing.  You need to be comfortable on fast & powerful waves and surfing performance-style boards.  You need to be water savvy and be able to read the surf.  You don't need to be a shredder, but you do need a solid level of surf competency and a keen interest in improvement.  Reach out and we can chat about your skill level.

Common Questions About the Trip

Is it for beginners?
No. This is Indonesia. It’s absolutely surfable at an intermediate level, but for beginners, not so much unfortunately.
Swell Size?
We expect consistent surf in the 2-4 foot range with a couple pulses of 6foot and potentially above. Perfect conditions to learn better technique… and still grab a few barrels! 
Will we be running another one any time soon?
No. I work only with the best technique coaches, so it comes down to scheduling. The earliest we may run another coaching trip will be 2025.
What do you learn?
You get coaching from myself and Twiggy Van Ryan (world class technique coach and surfboard shaper). Everyday is a mix of coaching, video analysis, movement training, fun, surfing, tissue release, yoga, Foundation Training, in the water coaching, more surfing, lots of food, nutritional coaching…… Better health and better surfing.
