Program
A surf session usually starts with preparing yourself and your equipment and checking out the spot upon arrival. Meanwhile, the teachers will give you details and background knowledge about the spot and what to expect. During the time in the water, the teachers will always be close to you, help and teach you accordingly to your level.
A surf session will usually take up about half a day. For the rest of the day, you can rest your muscles and mind either at Drop In or explore some of the beautiful beaches on your own. The time of the surf sessions depends on the tide, swell, and wind. It will always be announced the day before.
No matter whether you will be standing the first time on a surfboard, already surfing some green waves, or looking for your next challenge on barreling waves, there is a spot for every level of surfing on Lombok. Drop In surf team grew up in Lombok and knows its waves like no other. They make sure that you will surf the best spot at the best time.
Depending on your level, the teachers will take you to the best-suited wave where they will teach, help, and coach you for fast and steady progress in surfing. Even though improving your surf skill is a central element, having fun in the water and enjoying everything that comes with surfing will never be cut short!
Beginner
Before going into the water, you will learn how to take off (stand up) and get information about the spot and how to handle the board. Before going into the wave, you will learn how to handle your board. Then, the teacher will help you catch your first waves.
The goal is to manage the take-off and get a feeling for the waves and the surfboard. In the two theory lessons, you will learn a lot about surfing as well as the surf etiquette which will help you to react correctly in the water in any given situation.
Intermediate
At this level, the focus lies on learning to read the waves, improving your timing, and making smooth take-offs while cruising along the wave. The teachers will mainly give you tips about how to improve your surfing and what details to pay attention to in order to make steady progress at your surfing skills.

Location
This surf camp will take place at Drop In Surf Lodge & Café located in a short scooter-ride outside of Kuta Lombok in a garden full of coconut and banana trees. Lombok with its warm tropical water has been a secret tip for surfers for many years. A wide variety of surf spots spread all along the coast and Kuta is an ideal starting point to explore all the hidden treasures.
Kuta itself is still a small, sleepy fishing village on the south coast of Lombok with not much more than 4 cross roads. Even though new restaurants and accommodations are opening up, Kuta holds on to its laid-back and very authentic character.
Kuta also seems to effortlessly integrate its growing tourism into daily traditional life. The new international airport is only 25 minutes away and offers several flights a day to Bali and Jakarta and five times a week straight to Singapore.
