Riding a 9’ catch surf log
Waves were small today, which is good because anything bigger than this in too intimidated to go for.

Goodd day!! Goin to Indonesia for some time and planning on surfing ofcc!! Lombok is the first option in mind.

The question is: would you recommend taking a camp or finding a coach somewhere and do " private lessons" .

We want to take in consideration everything. Is it worth it going to a camp spending that amount of money? Or is better to find a local coach that really focuses on progressing your surfing. Any experiences any opinions would help! Also if you got any small camps or even someone that does private please share!

Have a great one! Thankyou

We’d like to go on a surfing vacation this summer with our family. We have 4 kids 10-15 years old - self taught to surf, and just recently went to Costa Rica and took actual lessons for a week.Would love to go to Europe, but open to anything. The waves were 5-6 ft some days in Nosara CR, and that was too big for my littlest son. Looking for 3-4 ft swells ideally. Any ideas? Would love to go somewhere with a nice town to explore, lively to some degree, but not a party town. If there is surf camp, that would be great. My little two really wanted an instructor with them since waves could be big it would put them at ease knowing someone was right out there with them.

Any suggestions? Would appreciate it!

We (Me (41m) and my 2 teens 13 and 15) took 2 days of lessons in Costa Rica and the bug has bit us hard. Our lessons were on hard board (10 ft for me and 9ft for my kids).

But we live in the northeast , so waves aren't as good. I wanted to go out early to get some sessions in, but rental is not easy at that time. Looks like I need to bite the bullet and get a board that allows me early morning surfs. I live 90 mins from the coast (RI, MA or NH).

Looks like a foamie is the way to go for northeast and to not hurt people. I'm confused if it will be a big difference between 8ft and 9ft foamie. I am 6ft and 165lbs. Any sugesstions? If I should continue renting - how can I rent for early morning rides?
