The value you get for the money you pay is limited. You pay a lot for a week but two dinners are not included, lunch is not included and you are requested to pay for every single thing there. For example, at other camps/retreats I stayed, tea/coffee, fruits and some other basic snacks were included. Here it's not the case. I was surprised that we had to pay for yoga too, which was very average and overpriced. I payed 150k for one hour while yoga schools in Canggu/Seminyak charge 100-150k for 2 hours.

In terms of surf intructors, they are amazing but outsourced to Rip Curl School. If I had to do it again, I'd book the school directly.

This camp is popular among Scandinavians. 90% of people were Danes. Although they were encouranged by social hosts to refrain from using their monther tongue all the time, it didn't help. Everyone who is not from Denmark felt excluded. By the way, the average age was 20 years during my stay.

Positives: Food is fantastic at the camp, social hosts are friendly and helpful and facilities are nice. Although if you booked a dorm, it's very basic.

Overall, I think it's a great place if you are willing to pay to meet others who are into drinking and partying, kinda people who are in the holiday mood. However, people who are rather introverted or thoughful (for lack of better word) felt like outcasts there.

You really can't go wrong with Lapoint Surf Camp in Bali. They crew is amazing, the food delicious, the premise stylish and always clean and most importantly the people in the camp are really chill. I also liked the fact that everyone was asked to speak English in the camp. Really provides an inclusive vibe where everyone feels welcomed. I'll come back and so should you!

I'm so much excited about the way the guys are teaching here at Rip Curl Surf School Bali (Legian Beach) so much knowledge and attention to everyone! Our group is around 25-30 people but I don't feel abandoned. Every time I get a feedback, it's so amazing!!!!!!!!

Even if I can't do smth well, the guys always cheer me up and remind me the most important is to be happy :)

They're providing all the equipment for surfing (including the t-shirts, leggings and helmets) bottles with water, sun cream, showers afters and even towels for the shower (not for beach). Also there is a photographer and you can check all your pix after the lesson to improve your skills (check the mistakes) and to have fun.

If you are a totally beginner or just surfed 1-2 times - highly recommended ????????

This camp is a closed group of scandinavian people that have severe trouble to teach surfing properly and to host other nationalities other than theirs. Plus the surf instructors are outsourced and that is not shown on the website - it is way much cheaper to hire their services directly instead of through the camp.

I had really great time in Canggu, the stuff was super helpful, they were able to sort out any issue bigger and smaller. Cool and laid back atmosphere, good quality of food and installations and general experience was absolutely amazing! Highly recommended surf trip!
