How Our Beginner Surf Lessons Work
From: IDR 600.000 / session
Our beginner surf lessons in Lombok follow a structured learning system designed to help you progress safely and confidently. The program is divided into four levels, combining surf theory, guided practice in the ocean, and pool sessions to build strong foundations before moving forward.
Each level focuses on specific skills such as paddling, balance, wave awareness, and timing, allowing you to develop step by step without feeling rushed. This structured approach ensures that beginners learn proper technique, understand ocean conditions, and gain confidence before advancing to the next stage.
Beginner Surf Levels Breakdown
Our beginner surf lessons are divided into four progressive levels, designed to help you build skills gradually while staying safe and confident in the water. Each level focuses on specific techniques and ocean awareness, ensuring steady progress without pressure.
Level 1 – Surf Fundamentals & Safety
In this first level, you will learn the essential foundations of surfing. The focus is on safety, balance, and basic control of the surfboard to help you feel comfortable in the ocean environment. You will learn how to stand up correctly, maintain balance on the board, paddle efficiently, and understand basic surf safety rules.
Level 2 – Pool Session & Technique Control
Level two introduces a pool session to refine your technique in a controlled environment. This session helps you understand correct body positioning and board control without the distraction of waves. You will practice proper paddling technique, body positioning on the board, how to twist the surfboard correctly, and essential safety techniques such as turtle rolling.
Level 3 – Catching Your Own Waves
At this stage, you begin applying your skills in the ocean with more independence. The focus is on wave timing and understanding wave behavior so you can catch waves on your own. You will learn when to stand up at the right moment, how to choose suitable waves, and which part of the wave to ride safely.
Level 4 – Basic Turning & Speed Control
The final beginner level focuses on improving control and flow on the wave. You will start learning how to steer the board and maintain speed while riding. This level covers basic turning techniques and how to generate and control speed, preparing you for more advanced surfing in the future.
Class Structure & Lesson Duration
Each beginner surf lesson at Nuna Surf Lombok runs for 2 hours, giving you enough time to learn, practice, and recover without feeling overwhelmed. The session is carefully structured to balance theory, warm-up, and hands-on surfing practice.
The lesson is divided as follows:
30 minutes of surf theory and warm-up on the beach
1 hour 30 minutes of guided surfing practice in the ocean
This structure allows beginners to fully understand the basics before entering the water, helping you surf more safely, efficiently, and confidently during each session.
Private vs Semi-Private Beginner Surf Lessons
At Nuna Surf Lombok, beginner surf lessons are available in private and semi-private formats,
allowing you to choose the learning style that suits you best.

What our guests say
EXCELLENT Based on 108 reviews Posted on Luca TrumbleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience at Nuna, the instructors were all super friendly and helpful, especially out in the surf with all their local knowledge being put to use. The equipment provided was also very good and they had a large range of boards to choose from. You will definitely get waves and improve your surfing with these guys! Shoutout to Yoga, Jaka, Bibi, and Qoles for making my week in Lombok awesome, I will certainly be back!Posted on Tomas RyanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience, amazing team and highly recommend! We spent 6 days surfing with the Nuna group and had the best time. We felt like we improved, had a really fun time with their team and felt very well looked after the entire time. Indra, Kinoy and CiBob were the best crew to spend our time with and really made our Kuta Lombok trip enjoyable and memorable.Posted on Karri WalkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience! My partner and I did 6 lessons with Nuna surf and absolutely loved it. The coaches are the best - friendly, relaxed and so helpful. We learnt a lot and had so much fun! They take you to the best spot depending on the conditions and your level. Will definitely book with Nuna next time we are back. Honestly couldn’t have been better! Thanks so much Indra, Kinoy and Cibob.Posted on Melissa Thijs ReynsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re looking for a surf school in Kuta, Lombok choose Nuna! Me and my boyfriend did a 5 day surf camp and we’ve learned so much. Doesn’t matter what level you’re they will do everything they can to help you improve and also have a fantastic time! Big thank you to Jak who was so helpful and amazing 🙌🏼Posted on Sandra TurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the most fun with them! Did 3 surf lessons and felt so much progress in a short period of time - we got great tips and they brought great vibes since day 1! Can highly recommend 💯🤩Posted on Joanna RegameyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the best 2 weeks experience ever with Nuna !! Always try different spots, have many teachers and the crew is so fun. Recommend 100%Posted on BoniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stay away from this place! Horrible service - and they still haven't refunded my money (UPD finally refunded after 3 weeks of waiting) I met with them, discussed options, and the next day paid for 10 lessons in advance. - On the first lesson they were 30 minutes late and gave me a 7.8 board instead of 7.0 (I clearly said that 7.0-7.6 would be fine). I thought: ok, it happens, next time they will do it right - The next day I waited 40 minutes. Then I received a message asking me to come to a location 2-3 minutes from the main spot. A few minutes later I was there and found out that they completely forgot about me and left on a boat without me. In the end, I went alone in the boat to the spot, but the board they gave me was 8.9 instead of 7.0. After that I knew for sure that I would never, under any circumstances, surf with them again. Bottom line: go surf somewhere else. Having looked at other surf camps, I can say with confidence: this one is absolutely not worth your time, money and nerves.Posted on Salomé BayonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Je suis arrivée au camp de surf qui était vide et j’ai compris pourquoi quelques temps après. Un premier contact avec Jack qui se présente en tant que prof de surf et célibataire. Bon soit. Un cours dans la piscine était prévu à 13h30 puis finalement à 13h car il s’était trompé. Je me suis ensuite retrouvée dans des vagues bien trop grandes pour moi étant la seule débutante du groupe. Cela n’a étonné personne et à part me dire « tu dois pousser ton mental », je n’ai eu aucune compréhension. J’ai failli louper l’activité « surf strenght and ice bath » car il a encore une fois oublié de me tenir au courant de l’endroit. J’ai dû demander à d’autres personnes rencontrées plus tôt où était le rendez vous car cela me paraissait bizarre. Pour finir, il m’assure que le rendez vous du lendemain est à 10 heures du matin. Je me permets donc de faire des choses de mon côté jusqu’à 10h. Quand je me rends devant la réception pour les attendre, personne… le réceptionniste me dit qu’ils sont partis depuis une heure. Il avait encore oublié. Pour finir, j’ai dû échanger avec lui et négocier longtemps pour avoir un petit remboursement… Des justifications en remettant la faute sur ses collègues ou même sur moi ! D’après les dires de plusieurs personnes, je ne suis pas la première à qui ça arrive. Ce n’est absolument pas un camp de surf pour moi, j’ai perdu toute confiance et la bienveillance et la pédagogie ne sont pas les atouts principaux… En revanche, les techniques de drague si !Posted on Leo TheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Es macht so viel Spaß mit den Jungs von Nuna zu Surfen! :) Die Instructor sind sehr aufmerksam und man bekommt eine sehr enge Betreuung. Klare Empfehlung!Posted on Helena ModritschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very fun experience!
