We also look after our staff, most of whom are local. We train them and pay them above the minimum wage. All our staff are insured and receive performance bonuses. We operate completely legally and pay all taxes. With the exception of head coach 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’re three girls (2 Swiss, 1 Bavarian) who fell in love with Lombok, its people and its waves a long time ago. Our paths crossed in 2013 in Kuta, Lombok, and we quickly realised that we all had the same dream. A year later, we opened Drop In Cafe. The cafe later expanded into a lodge with bungalows and then into a surf camp in Lombok, where we exclusively offered surf lessons. We wanted to create a home for ourselves and like-minded people who want to surf, improve or relax in a beautiful, private environment. Since autumn 2015, we have been able to offer such a surf home to surfers and travellers from all over the world. in 2021 we had to make room for the motor GP shift and started from scratch at our new location in the mountains. We have changed our concept and now offer this unique, high quality surf coaching for only 6 guests. We’re incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to live and work here, meet fantastic people and of course go surfing as often as possible.
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.
