Just came back from a 3 months surf instructor course in Bali and it was the best time ever and a real boost to my surfing progression!
I initially booked for the surf instructor course in Morocco but for some reasons outside of Stoked Surf Adventures’ control I had to reschedule my trip, so I decided to change and go to Indonesia.
They made everything to make sure I could have a good deal and so it was!
See you next time!
Great surfhouse, great food with different options (vegetarian, vegan). Friendly staff and surf instructors. Definetely will come back to one of the surfhouses! 🧡🤙🏼
The place has a great atmosphere, the staff is super nice and helpful, the rooms are spacious and get cleaned every day. The pool is nice, breakfast is delicious and the surfing and yoga was exactly how I wanted it to be. There is seriously not a single thing to complain about.
Felt like home from the first second on. Everything is well organised, very friendly and professional staff in all areas.
Was the best thing I could do 🙂 I travelled alone but it felt like being at home! The best team of surf instructors and perfect crew in the house. Very clean rooms and delicious breakfast. I enjoyed every minute and will go back for sure!
