About this tour
Refine your reef surfing technique across five two-hour sessions in Bali. Move beyond basic manoeuvres to tackle reef breaks with confidence. You'll sharpen your cut-backs and bottom turns, learn to generate speed on steeper faces, and master the transitions that separate competent surfers from skilled ones. The course combines classroom theory with in-water coaching, using video analysis to lock in technique so you're genuinely progressing, not just paddling out.

What to expect
You'll start each session with theory—understanding how reef waves peel and break differently than beach breaks, where the channels run, how to position yourself at take-off. Then you're in the water, working on specific skills: carving turns where you're actually using the wave's power rather than fighting it, reading sections ahead so you set up your manoeuvres early, extending and compressing through turns for flow. Your instructor will film runs and review footage so you see exactly what's happening. Reef waves pack more punch than beach breaks, so expect to work harder but feel the tangible improvement.
