The Trip
Designed for intermediate surfers.
Head coach Chris and a small group of surfers will chase waves in the remote surf paradise of Krui, home to Indonesia’s best-quality beach break, Mandiri, as well as one of the country’s longest left-hand waves, Ujung Bocur. The area also offers lesser-known, user-friendly barreling waves and long, rippable, mellow point breaks.

Surf level and progression?
This retreat is ideal for low intermediate (L2) through to advanced (L5) surfers. Be sure to check the specific levels designated for each retreat! We are dedicated to ensuring that each retreat has a well-matched group of surfers.
Below we have outlined the recommended minimum and maximum level to get the most out of this retreat.
Minimum level: You can pass through whitewater, broken waves and catching waves independently. You are riding down the line consistently and looking to improve basic surf technique.
Maximum level: You want to progress with barrel riding technique and aerial manoeuvres.
Throughout the week, you’ll work closely with Chris to pinpoint the habits or techniques limiting your performance and refine them to help you break plateaus in your surfing.
With Damara Surf’s unique surf progression program, our personalised and professional approach promise to unlock years of potential and take your skills to the next level.

Yoga
The yoga classes are designed to fit surfers, with or without a yoga experience. Through dynamic and creative vinyasa flow we will target different key movement, to improve flexibilty and balance. With gentle hatha we will focus on stretching muscle group put to a high stress while surfing. Both type of classes will include a meditation/breathing exercise.
Mobility class will provide an upper and lower body mobility routine to help you reach or keep a range of movement essential for your surf practice.
Is this a surf camp or a surf retreat?
Our Krui trip is a unique blend of both. While we call it a surf coaching retreat because of the personalised, intensive coaching experience, it also offers the flexibility to participate in activities at your own pace, plus you’ll enjoy a friendly group dynamic and the chance to connect with a like-minded surf community—just like you’d find at a classic surf camp.
