Mentawai Surf School & Coaching

Surfing is more than just an activity—it's a lifestyle and a passion. At Aloita Resort Surf School, we want to share this passion with you. We offer lessons for beginners and intermediate surfers. Our highly qualified instructors guide you to the best waves, ensuring a fun and successful learning experience.
Most lessons take place at Tikus, our easy left-hander wave, ideal for learning. If conditions allow, we'll explore other waves to challenge your skills. Check out our video to see why Tikus is so special and conveniently located just steps away from our resort.

Let Our Certified Instructors Take Care of You

Our team of instructors will assess your skill and level and personalize a program of surf lessons in which you will be introduced to the most important and basic notions of the sport. You will learn about surfboards and equipment, you will understand how waves work and break at a specific surf spot configuration, you will gather knowledge on paddling technique, wave behavior, wave catching, wave selection, pop up, riding techniques and you will even learn how to wipeout or deal with the white water. Our instructors and guides will choose and take you to the right wave scenarios for you to start exploring the waves of the area, enjoy them and successfully learn to ride them. Just few minutes away from the resort, we have an awesome and easy left hander wave in which learning to surf can be a unique and amazing experience. We might also, if the conditions are right, take you to explore some other spots in the area so you can test your skills and push your limits a little bit further. Remember that your safety is always a priority for us, and we also guarantee you to have fun!

INTERMEDIATE

Surf Coaching

Our surf coaching program is tailored for intermediate surfers who are eager to conquer bigger waves and push their limits. While you already feel confident catching waves, the desire to ride bigger swells may come with a sense of uncertainty. That's where our experienced surf coaches come in.

Made with love & harmony in the Mentawai Islands

The advanced beginner or intermediate surfer should consider bringing an all round board with bigger size and lots of volume, especially if you are coming from a long period without surfing. This kind of board will allow you to get that extra paddling strength on the surf and will also help you catch more waves.

Bring also a shorter high performance board as well to start testing your skills once you start getting into the rhythm. Trust us: you will appreciate that extra volume and extra inches on the more demanding days, especially if you are not a consummated charger.

Aloita serves farm to table food created by international guest chefs

We source fish directly from local fishermen, guaranteeing Aloita's dishes feature the freshest catch. Our fruits, vegetables, and herbs, including basil and mint, are also locally sourced. This commitment to local suppliers enriches our dining with authentic Mentawai flavors.

All the meals we serve at our Resort are prepared by International guest chefs who visit us on a regular basis and leave their best signature dishes and recipes with us.

We happily accommodate guests with dietary restrictions such as vegetarian, vegan and gluten intolerance, as that’s also a part of who we are.
