Love this little discovery. I think it’s a great place to come to if you have intermediate experience in surf and are looking to improve.
Israel is great in explaining and I feel I have learned so much. The surf skate is a great addition I highly recommend if you are not scared to fall.It’s a great one stop facility where gym / workout towards surf abilities. Surf skate and private coaching is all under one roof.

Where to start here? I love the entire concept of Fetch. The surf motion has drastically improved my surfing.

Working with Israel has been transformational on so many levels. I was really wanting to understand the ins u0026 outs on surfing and he explained everything so well. His staff Yurna and Lucas are also extremely kind and knowledgeable. I always have such a good time here, in and out of the water. Thank you :)

Surf motion classes with Israel have made an incredible difference to my surfing. The processes and motions and cues he has given me have really led to a breakthrough in how I approach the wave, top turns, cut backs and snaps. I cannot recommend this enough!
20 years of surfing… and it took this coaching to make a giant leap up!
Thank you Israel!

P.s. I’m not done yet - I will keep following this trajectory!

Eye-opening 5/5 coaching program. Cant speak highly enough about my fetch surf coaching experience. Isreal and his team were so welcoming and as-well as being professional and knowledgable with their surf content.

I am Intermediate/Advanced surfer that was looking to push my surf skill set and consistency to the next level. With fetch I feel like they unlocked so many aspects to surfing that I had completely overlooked, with use of in water video analysis, classroom theory and surf/skateboarding sessions. Israel has turned it into a real sports science and can see that he has developed a unique program over decades of experience.

I will be also staying in touch so I can continue my training remotely but also counting the days to return bali to have the one to one coaching again, but until then I have heaps of out of water training and skills to practice so I’m ready for that next big swell. Loved it and would highly recommend to all.

Israel's coaching is not great if you are looking for a private surf coach a lot of water time together, close and nuanced guidance, especially if you are a newby like us, which we didn't know when we first met him.

I would not recommend Israel as a private coach because of rigidity, inability to listen and frankly bad attitude. Instead of asking what could have been done better, he accused us of indecency and took a very defensive stance, when we shared how unhappy we were.

I hired him and got charged full amount upfront for 5 days of private coaching for my son and I, unfortunately experienced a massive misalignment on expectations, little of practice and water time, also quite a rigid program even though we shared upfront we are the beginners and needed building our skills ground up.

In the first paid day we were taken to the spot and asked to surf, although we did not know much on how, Israel stayed for 1 hour on the beach taking videos and pictures, then he came to the water, surfed a little without guiding us. Then we went to the Fetch surfing school premises, where we expected video analysis to happen. Instead, we never saw the videos or pictures and got a one liner analysis - you need to work on the basics. Which is what we already knew when we started, so one day wasted.

The second paid day started early in the morning with the paddling theory, we spent 1.5h talking about paddling techniques. After which we assumed we'd go together to practice - instead we heard that we have to go and practice by ourselves, so again, no water time with Israel, we surfed on our own. Then later we had 1h of surf motion (surfskate) training as a group with other 3-4 people, but hey, surf motion when you can't even paddle or pop-up, not the best use of time. Again, another day wasted.

So we were left with 3 days of training with Israel and had to make a call - should we change and ask for a refund or we'd continue and hope for an improvement, we opted for the first path. We asked Israel to convert the remaining days in to another coach fees (who was an affiliate of his), so that at least not to loose the money and he doesn't have to refund. Unfortunately things did not go as planned, we wasted the first 2 days and we had to pay extra for the new coach, as Israel did not agree to cover the cost of a new coach, who costed a fraction of what we paid.

Well, lesson learned, money lost, but hope someone can avoid our mistakes by simply reading this.

The most intense training I've had. It's 30 mins of pure Intensity but the best part is that the excercises are focused on improving my surf...you can feel changes in both your surf and your body pretty fast.

I recently joined at Fetch and the community they have is a lot fun. Great vibes, cool members, intense workouts and a really great coach. If you're in Bali and looking for a surf specific training program, these guys have you covered. They also host a community surf session every week where every gets together and goes surfing, I highly recommend taking a visit!
