Kubu Surf School

I had an amazing experience at this surf camp and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better time. From the very first day, the whole team made me feel welcome, supported, and part of the surf family. The instructors were professional, patient, and always encouraging, which helped me improve my surfing while having so much fun at the same time. The atmosphere was relaxed, positive, and full of great energy every day. I also really appreciated how friendly and helpful everyone was, both in and out of the water. Thank you to the entire team for creating such unforgettable memories. I truly enjoyed every moment and would absolutely recommend this surf camp to anyone looking for an incredible experience!

Un sitio maravilloso muy tranquilo, menciono especialmente a wayan como instructor de surf, en una sola semana entrenando con el me siento el rey del surf, gracias a todos el equipo

I was looked after so well by the staff at rumah canaria bungalows, shoutout to lovely Reni and my surfing teacher Yan! Had 3 beginner lessons which were challenging for me but also very fun, I wish I could’ve had more time to practice but there’s always a next time. The accommodation was lovely and free breakfast was fab, the free bike use was great for getting around quick! Also the adorable cat that lives there and became my bestie!

Superschöne gemütliche Unterkunft. Die Leute sind extrem lässig und nett. Absolut empfehlenswert

Nothing

The instructor Wayan and his friend were very kind, friendly and warm. They helped us pick up the skills required very quickly and took good care of us. Also the location was mindblowing.

The warm hospitality. The Positive vibes. The genuinely kind, friendly and supportive surf instructors, the hosts @ Rumah Canaria Bungalows, the yoga teacher, the masseuse, the snorkel guides and everyone that makes the package complete. Thank you ❤️

Everything from the check in until the check out was perfect. They received me with a big smile, water and great vibes. Reni and Nona at the reception are very friendly and welcoming always smiling and helping in anyway as well as having great conversations, I learned a lot of the local life with them. At the hotel every member is always smiling and sharing their great energy, I enjoyed a lot spending time there and chatting with them, playing music and sharing nice moments.

The surf lessons are incredible, instructors are very helpful and care a lot about your experience and performance, I learned a lot and improved my surfing in these days having fun in and out of the water with Mega, Angga, uncle and all the rest. The breakfast is exquisite and very complete with fruit, coffee, eggs or pancakes and very good vibes, the best for me was the massage on the last day wit Nona, she is surly becoming a pro in it and was the perfect way to spend my last day at Rumah Canaria. The yoga classes are not in the same location but are in a nearby yoga place with amazing views and are very professional, the instructor Yoga is very charming and professional.

It was overall a great experience and the island is beautiful to explore, also they give you bike so don’t rent one before, I almost did and then realized I had one included with my package.

10/10 will come back very soon. 🙌🏼👏🏼

Really nice people that watch out for the well-being of their guests. Nonik and Reni look out for you and will suggest good places to eat or activities that you can do on Gili. Every time I wanted to get a coffee or a water, Nonik and Reni offered coffee or a water with a smile. The Breakfast was also really good and everyone on the team really looked out for me. Every night the team invited me and the other guests to sing songs with the guitar or to drink and snack. Dex and Wayang were great surf coaches that really helped me get better with surfing. I really saw advancements and it was always great fun to go surfing with Dex and Wayang. On one day we even went to Sengiggi on Lombok, to catch new waves (where I also had the chance to try a new board) and eat at a great Warung. All in all I can really recommend this surf camp to everyone as the team is super welcoming, the activities (Yoga and Fly-High Yoga) are a great experience, you'll get better at surfing and meet really nice people along the way!

All of the staff, the instructors and the staff at Rumah Canaria, was extremely welcoming and helpful. Sets a perfect vibe!

Great surfing retreat, the staff is amazing! Remi, Nona, Wayan and Mega are so welcoming and friendly. Made it feel like second home. I even extended my stay a week! Instructors were very specific with their teaching and made it easy to correct mistakes while surfing. Definitely recommend.

The vibe here is just class! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. they even helped me get back my pillow that I forgot after leaving. The surf lessons were brilliant: I tried different boards, the spot wasn’t crowded, and I even saw turtles while surfing 🐢. The instructors gave great posture corrections that helped me finally start catching waves on a hard board!

The rooms were lovely, AC worked perfectly, and the showers were great, clean, comfortable, and just what you need after a surf session. Breakfast was wonderful (the scrambled eggs are amazing!), and they organised everything for my trip from and back to Bali including a reliable driver.

Evenings were the best chilled guitar music and good vibes to end the day.

I couldn’t recommend this surf camp more if you want genuine surfing energy, great people, and an unforgettable experience. 🌊🤙 also, they give you bikes to go around the island and that made me discover wonderful places

The surfing was the best, the people were all amazing and friendly. Wayan and Blacky.

From start to finish my stay in Rumah Canaria in Gili T was amazing. Nona at reception is the loveliest person ever, she gives the best recommendations for food spots and other activities in the day when i wasn't surfing and she was always on hand if i needed anything. Gili T surfing is so much fun with perfect waves, Wayan my surf instructor, went completely above and beyond, he was brilliant in the surf helping me to get onto a hard long board on my 3rd lesson! He also took me snorkelling and showed me delicious local food for lunch. Although this camp wasn't super sociable, it meant i got to spend more time with my instructors, Wayan and Alphin, and with the locals which made my experience so much more enriching. I can't wait to come back !!

Thank you for such a brilliant time :))

Everyone was super friendly, safe location, many activities, staff were extremely helpful, meet lots of new friends

Un grand merci à Kadek, Wayan et toute l'équipe pour leur accueil et leur gentillesse, on se sent comme en famille!

J'ai adoré l'ambiance dans le camp, et j'ai fait de belles rencontres.

I chose this surf camp to help me transition from a longboard to a shortboard, and I’m so glad I did! With the support and encouragement from Kadek, I was able to make the transition smoothly and even ride some decent waves. Kadek’s coaching style was motivating and personalised, which really helped me feel confident on a short board. While riding a wave I spotted a turtle on the wave next to me such a breath taking experience.

I was also traveling with a friend who is a beginner surfer, and this was her first time out on the waves. The camp was perfect for her as well—she had a blast learning the basics, and the instructors were incredibly patient and supportive. It was great to see her progress and catch some waves, too.

We were only supposed to stay for 3 days, however loved the camp so much we extended.

Overall, the camp provided an excellent balance of individual attention and group support. The vibe was friendly, welcoming, and fun, and I highly recommend it to surfers at any level.

The team were so lovely. Mega and Wayan were wonderful. We went out for a day trip to Lombok which was the best day of surfing we’ve ever had. Learnt so much. Accom was great too.

I had an incredible time at Kubu Surf Camp! I extended 2 extra days because I didn’t want the experience to end. The instructors were fantastic—super knowledgeable, patient, and fun, making the whole experience enjoyable and safe. The instructors made sure to provide a surfboard that matched my skill level. They are also very knowledgeable of the local surf spots and make sure to choose the time of day with the best conditions possible. I am very pleased to say my surfing level progressed during this surf camp because of all the coaching and feedback. The location in Gili T, is incredible. I felt like I was surfing in paradise. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the overall vibe was laid-back yet professional. Not to mention the local people from Lombok are so welcoming. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your technique, Kubu is the place for an unforgettable surf adventure!

I found the whole Gilli T experience to be excellent. The accommodation and staff were fantastic, they really went out of their way to make us feel special and welcomed. Mega, the surf instructor, was a great teacher and was able to relate to all levels of experience. I was surprised of the quality of wave on Gilli T. There isn't a big selection of surf spots, but what was on offer catered for all levels of surfer. I would certainly go back and stay on Gilli T.

Die Leute waren super offen und freundlich. Surfen gut erklärt und hat spaß gemacht.

Everything was funny, chill.

Bedankt voor de gastvrijheid, privélessen in het surfen, hulp bij vragen. Heel vriendelijk personeel en aangename omgeving om te verblijven. Zowel de yoga- als surflessen waren leerrijk!

De accommodatie had een super goede en rustige ligging. Perfect om aan de drukte te ontsnappen!

Mega, Wayan en de rest van het team zijn super vriendelijke staff en hebben ons steeds zo goed mogelijk geholpen.

De surflessen waren super! Dankzij de kleine groepjes heb je privéles waardoor we al meteen het surfen onder de knie hadden.

Echt een aanrader om te leren surfen op Gili T!

I had a fantastic stay in Gili Trawangan. Wayan and Amine at the surf camp were very kind and welcoming and were always about at the camp, which created a very friendly atmosphere. They were also able to offer advice on excursions/ things to do etc. Surf lessons with Mega were exceptional. We were taken to different spots dependent on conditions and the waves were very uncrowded - at times it was just myself and a couple of other surf camp members present. Surf lessons were in the morning but I was able to add extra surf lessons in the afternoon if the conditions allowed and we also had the option to use the surf boards after our lesson. Mega split up the group, taking members of the surf school at different times. I appreciated the small groups and I even had solo lessons multiple times, so I had loads of personalised feedback and my surfing definitely improved. I also appreciated that Mega organised my transport to Kuta, Lombok after the camp, which was very helpful. I ended up extending my time in Gili T and will hopefully come back again!

I loved the cozy bungalow, especially the outdoor bathroom/shower, and hammock, all perfect for relaxing and escaping the bustle. The AC really made a big difference, as without it the bungalow was hotter than outside!

The surfing was great fun, even though it was quite calm I think I still caught a decent number of waves. And while waiting for the waves, you might spot a turtle coming up for air!

All the staff and surf team were good fun and helpful with sorting out issues or recommending spots on the island, and were always chill to chat to and share coffee and stories with. Thank you all for such a great stay!

I loved the location, it was peaceful but still pretty easy to get to by bike or walking.

Of course lets not forget Gary Chocolate the cat, grasshopper-hunter supreme, who might steal your beanbag, beware.

The rooms and the pool area are really nice and comfortable. You‘ve got a variety of meals to choose from and they are all very delicious. The staff is very nice and helpful. Especially the surflessons were pretty amazing, the surfteacher Wawan really focused on my/our level of surfing and chose the places to surf at based on our level. Because we were not that many people in the camp, he really focused on each and everyone and I felt like I could really practice a lot. If you want to focus on your surfskills and just chill out for a couple of days Kubu Surfschool/ Makarma Resort in Senggigi is the perfect spot to do that.

It was my first surfing experience and i'm pretty amazed how things went well. Mega is a super teacher, patient, cool and he always communicate in a positive and fun way. The surfing spot is beautiful, perfect for beguinners like me. Beside the surf, what is the most valuable is the people who runs the bungalows and make sure you fell well and welcomed. Thanks to Amine, Dewa, Wayan and of course Mega for your dedication, your kindness, your cool reggae vibes. You are the soul of this place. Our experience with you will stay in our hearts forever. Sampai jumpa lagi temanku 🙏

I liked pretty much everything about my little surfcamp experience. All the people are so nice and helpful, you can have a great chat with them or a little evening jam session. The bungalows are pretty basic, but I loved the cozy vibes with the shower under the stars. And surfing itself was really cool too, Mega our surf teacher does an amazing job and really looks out for you.

The staff is very nice and the place is very well-kept. You are around 15 minutes bicycle away from the surf spot, the spot is good but the surf conditions might not be good all the time and they don't have a lot of other options. They give you a bike to move around which is a moat in Gili T you also get free breakfast and water refills.

Top personeel, staat dag en nacht klaar om te helpen en kletsen

The surf lessons were adapted to the weather conditions and the skills of the participants. In three days I developed a lot (had surfed only twice before) both in physical technique and in reading and catching waves. Kadek really wants you to succeed and develop and have a good time! The surf lessons vary a lot in starting time and length. You will get the time on the day before. We had a sunrise surf session one day, it was great! It was also possible to keep surfing without the instructor, using Kubu's boards, which was really nice.

The bungalow (I had one for myself, with AC) was super nice, small but really cosy, and the outdoor bathroom was also real nice. The staff hanged around most of the time and played guitar or took care of the place, and were eager to interact and hang out. I could also borrow the guitar and that was great 😊 the staff also really wanted to help out with everything from booking a massage, making dinner or arranging day trips.

It's in a "local" neighbourhood. Far from party music and drink people - yeay! - and within biking distance from other parts of Gili T.

Het was een mega leuke ervaring, de mensen van Ruma Canaria (de accommodatie) waren heel aardig en behulpzaam, hierdoor voelde het als thuiskomen deze 7 dagen. Het surfen was leuk, ondanks dat de golven niet altijd even goed te surfen waren. En de yoga was geweldig! Verder vond ik het heel fijn dat ik genoeg vrije tijd ook had om mijn eigen ding te doen. En het eiland was heel leuk, genoeg plekken om heen te gaan en te chillen of te snorkelen.

Learning how to surf in Gili Trawangan with Kubu Surf School was an incredible experience!

The 4 surf lessons with Herman were great. He is a sensational surf instructor & he was able to teach me a lot in a short time. 🏄🏼‍♀️

The accommodation Rumah Canaria has everything you need; delicious breakfast, nice rooms & very friendly staff which are always there to help. The highlight at Rumah Canaria were the chill evenings with guitar playing and singing. 🎶

The overall package was amazing and I would recommend Kubu Surf School to anyone who wants to learn to surf. 🤙🏼

BUNGALOW: As Gili T is a small island, the location was not too hard to find. The bungalows are located very close to Turtle Point, and going to surf is just a short bike ride away. Kubu Surf School provided everything - from a bicycle, to surf gear, to homemade meals every day. Each bungalow is very quiet and privately air-conditioned, with a separate outdoor bathroom (hot shower & toilet included). Because of the mosquitos on Gili T, they also provide a great mosquito net over the bed.

Best of all were the staff! They took great care of me when I got sick from something I ate before arriving on Gili T. Dewa was always there to cook family-style dinners, and he made sure everyone in the bungalows felt welcome and at home. You have to try Dewa's famous banana pancakes! Wayan plays guitar very well and everyone in the bungalows had a lovely night singing after dinner. Herman was very kind and made multiple trips to the shops to fetch Pocari Sweat and peppermint oil for me when I was too tired to leave my room.

SURFING: Although I can't attest to the surfing personally as I was sick during my stay, I know that the people at the bungalows who did go surfing said that they loved their lessons. Sergei from Ukraine took one lesson with Herman and was able to stand up in his first class!

Staying here was such a nice surprise as I really didn’t know what I booked. I stayed here for 5 days 4 nights and did 4 surf lessons. the accommodations were great and I can’t say enough about how helpful all of the staff were, especially Dewa. The whole staff were there to greet me when I checked in, answer any questions I had about Gili, and immediately make amazing food recommendations nearby. I ended up going to two of those places twice in two days since they were so good. They helped me with my return boat ride at a much better price than was available on Lombok. Breakfast each morning was made fresh just for me when I woke up. I will definitely be back and stay with them very soon.

The surf lessons each morning were also great. I made great progress each day even coming in as an intermediate surfer. By the last day I was turning easily and catching the bigger waves as the sun set.

I highly recommend both the accommodation and the surfing lessons.

The staff (Firman, Faycal, Wayan and Gede) was amazing and made my stay as good as possible.

The place is very clean and very well maintained. I loved the guitar evenings and the way they were so friendly with me.

Terima kasih 🫶

All the instructors were amazing! Very friendly and helpful. The bungalows on Gili Trawangan are beautiful!

We spent five days at the surf camp and had a absolut blast. Dex and his wife Jenny are super friendly and open. You can ask them anything and they will take very good care of you.

Dex has created an absolutely wonderful little surfcamp togethers with his wife Jenny. You feel at home right away in the cozy little houses and the friendly atmosphere. Dexes brother Wayan is also there to help you, and always make sure you have a good time.

We loved the stay at the surf camp: professional surf lessons, the best live guitar music and singing, fresh juice and pancakes, bonfires, coconutharvest, snorkeling, chilling, and just the nicest people.

We highly recommend the surf camp to everyone, who would like to have an authentic and relaxed surf experience.

Dex and Hermann were really good surf teachers and very helpful. I even enjoyed private lessons as I was the only one in the surf camp. It was easy to meet other people staying in the same accommodation though. Nice bungalow, outdoor pool and staff at the Markama. I went to the Gili trawangan accomonadation later which was really good. Very cute bungalows and it’s very quiet at night. Dex wife and brother are really sweet too. So really a good place to stay. I would definitely come back!

We( Randi and Sherri) from Canada had the best time surfing with Dex! Couldn't have asked for a better instructor. We had amazing waves to learn on and Dex was great at explaining what we needed to do to get up! When we weren't surfing we had a blast biking around and enjoying the island. Dex, Jenni and Gede totally took care of us, had a great breakfast every morning and just the best people to spend time surfing and chilling with❤️

Coaching and equipment was great. Dex and his team made sure this was the most fun we’ve ever had surfing.

Surfing was good - instructors were great

I liked very much Dex's attitude and service quality. He is a very good instructor and dedicate and know well how to keep his clients motivated. He has good knowledge and understanding of surfing. He is patient and has good skills for teaching.

Una semana inolvidable, en el surf camp he coincidido con joven de toda Europa. Hemos hecho buen grupo!

Las clases intensas y divertidas

Lo recomiendo
