We are passionate about people which means our guests as well as our staff and the community around Drop In. With the exception of one of our head coaches Scott, all our surf instructors were born and raised in Lombok. Most of the surf spots on Lombok are only accessible by boat. We have chosen not to own a boat so that we can share our business with a variety of boat owners and captains. We pride ourselves on being a surf camp on Lombok that has a positive impact on everyone involved. We are confident you will feel this sense of community when staying with us!
Lombok is a beautiful island with a friendly population and consistent surf all year round. Many say that Lombok is what Bali was 25 years ago: an Indonesian island with great culture and a helpful community without the mass tourism and heavy traffic. On Lombok you can still live an authentic surfer lifestyle in a tropical paradise with friendly locals, beautiful beaches, fascinating landscapes and good food.
Are you a mature traveller of any age who is young at heart, loves adventure, wants to meet extraordinary people from all over the world, knows the value of such personal and intensive coaching and is open to constructive criticism and improving your surfing technique through us? We’ll awaken the Stoke in you and offer you a tropical home away from home with first class coaching that you can apply at any surf break in the world. Guests who are more into a fun surf and party camp will definitely have a hard time here.
The team at Drop In is a family. We don’t just work together, we look after each other and we are proud of our team. Everyone loves doing their part to make Drop In a memorable experience. Without them, we wouldn’t be as successful and it wouldn’t be as much fun.
After spending over 30 years in the Australian wine industry, my life took a beautiful and unexpected turn when I visited Lombok. I instantly fell in love with the island—its peaceful energy, the stunning ocean, and the sense of mindfulness it brings. I even tried surfing for the first time here in Indonesia and knew right away that this was where I wanted to be.
Family has always been a huge part of my life, and it still is. My daughter and I continue to work together in the wine industry back in Australia, and although my heart now belongs to Lombok, family will always come first for me.
Here in Lombok, I’ve embraced a lifestyle of yoga, surfing, and quiet moments by the ocean, with my rescue dog Pickles by my side. This place has brought me such peace and balance, and I’m so excited to share that experience with you. My goal is to welcome you into the Drop In family, where you can feel the same connection to this island that I do.
Whether you’re a surfer or simply seeking a peaceful escape, I look forward to welcoming you to this little paradise that I now call home.
