This is what´s up when the surf camp is closed in between seasons, guess rainy season is not that bad after all... The kids has been taking over lately when there has been no guests around. We´ve had a highly appreciated time to heal our wounded feet and spend some time away from the camp while we have been closed. It is now only a few days left before the place is back up and running and we are very excited to see both new and more familiar faces throughout the season of 2012.

We just bought a new engine to our boat we got last year, it has been a lot of work with the restoration and a long wait for all of us. Especially for Scott and progression sessions who will use the boat on a daily basis to go surf more challenging waves. But the boat will be an upgrade for all of the surf camp guests since we all can go on day-trips. 

The new engine is a Mitsubishi Colt 120hp, so we will hopefully be able to do some great speed (around 10kts)! The engine installment should be done within a few weeks, but as always in Indo… En Shallah!

Paul from Australia stayed with us at the camp earlier this year and wrote about his experiences in his travel blog.

Thank you Paul!

Gerupuk SK8 Classic 2!

On June 7th the 'Turkey Bowl' at Surfcamp Lombok in Gerupuk, had a massive turnout of spectators and competitors, gathering to watch the locals tear it up in the surf style bowl.

Spectators of all ages and nationalities enthusiastically cheered, as the 40+ competitors divided into three different kategorys, each skater getting a 2 minute heat, while listening to the musical genius of Dj Raksasa & M.C Sakrot.

Man (short for Abdurahman)is part of the reason the Surfcamp exists, he was worked with us from the start, and a big help to make it happen and is one of the key people in the company. He is the boss of our local surfcoaches as well as responsible for the accommodation part of the surfcamp.  He also surfs with our guests from time to time. He lives in Gerupuk with his wife and daughter where they  together run the family business Sugesty Homestay.

Meet our local staff Episode 1: Keto, General Camp Assistant

The camp wouldn´t exist without the help of our local co-workers and it´s time you get to know more about them.

First out is Keto , who rocked up at the camp about 1½years ago and sort of employed himself by starting to give a helping hand wherever needed. Soon he became an important part of our lives and he has been with us ever since.

It is now already the end of February and the second camp for the season has just finished, it has been a great season so far with a lot of new happy faces at the camp. Otherwise it is business as usual with a lot of surfing on the agenda.
