Ready to Catch Your First Wave? Join Our Weekend Surf Camp at Cimaja – Pelabuhan Ratu!
Have you ever dreamed of riding a wave like a pro? You’ve seen the photos, watched the videos, and now it’s time to feel the exhilaration for yourself. Indonesia is a global surfing hotspot, with world-class beaches from Bali to Lombok and even a hidden gem right in Java—Cimaja. If you’re a beginner looking for the perfect place to start, our Weekend Surf Camp at Cimaja – Pelabuhan Ratu is tailor-made for you.
Cimaja: The Ultimate Beginner’s Surf Spot
While Indonesia is famous for its challenging breaks like Plengkung and Panaitan Island, Cimaja in Pelabuhan Ratu offers gentle, consistent waves that are ideal for newcomers. Its easy-to-manage swell allows you to focus on mastering the basics without being intimidated by massive waves. This makes it a fantastic and safe environment to learn and build your confidence.
Our weekend program is designed to transform you from a complete novice into a confident surfer, all while you enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery of Sukabumi.
