Get comfortable with the board
Warm up; recognise the board and leash; practise getting onto the board, prone balance and paddling turns. Learn safe spacing, falls and exits.
SURFPLUS / G1
Independent shallow-water rides
Your first ride.
Your own movement.
THE CAPABILITY TO BUILD
Handle your board safely, pop up independently and complete a controlled straight ride near shore.
YOUR STARTING POINT
New surfers, or anyone who can stand with a push and wants a clearer foundation. Tell the team about your swimming confidence and any previous lessons before booking.
01 / THE SKILLS
Build it one part at a time.
Connect the movement
Read the direction of whitewater, move the board through it and connect the push-up, leg movement and foot placement into one pop-up.
Finish the whole ride
Work on stance, gaze and balance. Practise a straight ride, a controlled exit and a safe route back outside the riding line.
02 / A TRAINING RHYTHM
Prepare. Practise. Review.
This sequence illustrates how the skills can connect. It is not a fixed timetable or a promise to pass within a set number of days. Session count, duration, location and teaching language must be confirmed with the Kuta team.
- 01
Board handling and land-based pop-up practice.
- 02
Connect the pop-up to a suitable near-shore whitewater ride.
- 03
Review stance and safe exits, then repeat the part that needs work.
03 / WHAT PROGRESS LOOKS LIKE
Observe the movement.
Keep the evidence.
These are useful observations to discuss with a coach. They do not calculate a pass, issue a certificate or create a student record. Current assessment arrangements must be confirmed before booking.
- An independent pop-up and balanced straight ride.
- Safe board handling, spacing and exit throughout the attempt.
- Repeat attempts reveal whether the movement is becoming consistent.
ObserveDiscussRepeat
If a skill is not yet consistent, identify the specific gap and discuss targeted practice and review. Confirm whether further sessions or equipment use are included or charged separately.
04 / BEFORE YOU BOOK
A clear plan starts
with a conversation.
Equipment and preparation
Ask the team to confirm a suitable board and leash, clothing for the conditions and sun protection. Confirm what is supplied, any rental cost, sizing and what you should bring.
Tell us about your starting point
Share your previous experience, confidence in the water, preferred dates, group size and teaching language. A recent surfing clip can help the team understand your starting point if you choose to share one.
Price, dates and inclusions
Current Kuta prices are confirmed by enquiry. Ask about currency, sessions and duration, equipment, recording, accommodation, transport, insurance, cancellation terms and any follow-up training charges. No booking or payment is taken on this page.
Suitable conditions come first
The on-site team decides whether conditions and the training area are suitable for your ability. Do not use a website level label as permission to enter unfamiliar conditions.
05 / QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
Know what you are
signing up for.
Do I need to have surfed before?
G1 introduces the foundations. The team still needs to confirm your water confidence, relevant health considerations and suitable conditions before booking.
Can I skip a level?
Discuss equivalent experience with the team. A label from a previous course is useful context, but the next plan should follow your current observed ability.
Are certification and repeat lessons included?
Do not assume they are included. Confirm any assessment, certificate, validity period, repeat-session fee and participating location before booking. Completing a course and being certified are separate matters.
