What Level of Surfer for This Trip?
This trip is aimed at Intermediate Surfers. 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 2-4foot perfect Indonesian reef break (chest to slightly overhead surf), and bigger if swell is on offer. You need to be water savvy, and be able to read the surf. Comfort and experience surfing reefbreak is helpful, but not necessary. We do need you to be consistent with your pop up, and ability to make it down the line. 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.
