Surf Lessons and Coaching for Beginners, Intermediates
and Advanced Surfers.
Welcome to Nias Surfschool
Nias is not only a playground for experienced surfers and professionals alike. It is also a great place to learn and improve for beginners and intermediates.
You want to make first tries to catch a wave, improve your riding skills, or work on your first barrel experience? No matter where you are in your learning journey, Lagundri Bay offers perfect and safe conditions for all levels.
The Surfspots
Lagundri The Point and
Kiddies Corner
Most surfers associate Nias' world-class-right-hander with heavy stand up barrels. This, because it is shown on numerous surf magazine covers and because Nias is a top destination on the bucket list of almost any experienced surfer.
What most surfers don't know, is, that Lagundri's The Point is also fun and safe quality wave for advanced beginners, intermediate surfers, and longboarders during the off-season (November - March) or even on smaller days during the swell season.
The wave breaks in different sections. The main break called The Point is the most challenging but still manageable for learners. The inside section of The Point, called Kiddies Corner, is easy, fun, and very suitable to practice, play and perform. The ocean ground is reef but deep enough at any tide to have a safe surf. The waves are running non-stop throughout the year, at any time of the day and tide.
Lagundri Beach
Located at the center of Lagundri Bay, and not far from Lagundri The Point, Lagundri Beach has a soft and nicely shaped wave that offers a gentle place to learn surfing.
The size of the wave reaches from knee to shoulder high. Beginners can learn how to pop up and catch waves here without any fear from big waves or reef.
During high season (April - October) when The Point is pumping, this beach break is also the perfect alternative for surfers for whom the waves at The Point are too heavy.
