Understand where it breaks
Identify the peak, shoulder and breaking direction. Learn positioning in the line-up, priority and safe spacing.
SURFPLUS / G3
Unbroken-wave take-off and line entry
Read the wave.
Choose your line.
THE CAPABILITY TO BUILD
Choose suitable unbroken waves, turn, paddle and take off independently, then begin entering an open line.
YOUR STARTING POINT
Surfers ready to build beyond independent whitewater catches. Your starting point, paddling ability and wave judgement determine how much foundation work comes first.
01 / THE SKILLS
Build it one part at a time.
Move from decision to action
Practise seated turns and purposeful paddling to meet a suitable take-off window. Look back to keep track of the wave.
Start following the open face
Connect the take-off with gaze and direction. Learn when a wave or priority is unsuitable and abandon the attempt safely.
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
Review whitewater foundations, wave structure and positioning.
- 02
Connect seated turns and paddling to suitable unbroken-wave take-offs.
- 03
Review complete attempts, line entry and decisions to abort.
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.
- Select a suitable wave and complete the turn, paddle and take-off independently.
- Look back while paddling and begin directing the board towards the open line.
- Respect priority and recognise when to stop an attempt.
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.
Is standing on an unbroken wave the whole goal?
A useful G3 progression also includes wave choice, turning, paddling, safety and the start of line entry. A single successful stand-up does not demonstrate every skill.
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.
