Insider tip from Lee Ling, Georgina, and BrittaThe wave season will end in March and then our host Ajil will pause this trip until November. So if you want to go, we recommend to go now. We have heard great reviews about this trip both from absolute beginners and more advanced surfers (check below), so we highly recommend it to you.What you'll do:We will board the bus at 6am in Singapore (if we are 4 people only, we'll take the car instead) - crossing the border early to avoid the traffic jam. Once in JB, we'll have breakfast there.
The drive will then take us to a beach in Johor with nice surf for beginners. We will rent surfboards and the adventure begins.
Tanjung Sedili BeachWe will be paired up with professional instructors who will give us a 2h introductory lesson.
Surfing lesson (all pictures are from our last event)We will have a simple lunch at the beach. After that you have 2h to practice your skill (or just hang out for a nice day by the beach ;) ).
Yay - standing up for the first time! (all pictures are from our previous tripExhausted but happy, we will take the bus back to JB.
