Finally 2 months holidays in May and June!

[ILikeToKook]

Hi guys,
I’m new here! Please have mercy on me!
I am going to take off from work in May and June and would really like to spend it surfing.
I am Italian and based in Switzerland, but I spent some weekends surfing here and there (I wish I could do more), and a handful of 1-week surf camps (Bali, Barrika, Tamraght) in the last couple of years. I’m still a beginner, so I’d like to use this holiday to improve drastically.
What would you suggest for this 2-month vacation? I was reading about these “from zero to hero” surf instructor courses in Bali, what do you think about those? Any other option?
I read on the Stormrider Guide that it’s good season in Indonesia in that period!

Cheers, guys! And thanks in advance!

Hi Iliketo kook!

May and June are the middle of the main surf season in Indonesia, May is the early edge, this is when thousands of Aussie descend on Bali.
It is also when anybody wishing to learn to surf goes ,so big crowds of dubious ability and lack of awareness in the water!

Indonesia is in Corona Virus denial at the moment and may be problematic if things get worse, the government is not saying much there so who really knows.
About the Surf it will be bigger faster and more perfect that you may have come across before.
Look at Kuta Lombok and the eastern end of Lombok there are surf camps At Gerupuk that might meet your needs.
Zero to hero surf camps, not sure about, you could also look at Sri Lanka, but there is political unrest that might turn nasty.
Maldives although it is the season would be pricey and contain you to one island.

But you could also look at Heaven on the Planet at Ekas on Lombok, mid range camp with several levels of surf, Outside Ekas too big too powerful for you, inside Ekas May put a good level up for you, there are also good learner waves in the bay.

You can also sharpen your surfing with a little Flusswellen at Bremgarten in Switzerland!
Talk a little mor later!
