Roots Surf Camp & Yoga Retreat

Quality before quantity is our ethos

Our Surf Camp and Yoga Retreat is located in a small fishing village called Gerupuk in the South of Lombok, less than a 5 minute walk to the ocean and starting point to 5 of the best surf spots in the South of Lombok.

In our surfcamp the focus is on professional teaching, which includes daily photo reviews, video analysis, various insights into the theory behind surfing as well as a professionally led breathwork / CPR course to set the tracks so that you get a valuable and unforgettable foundation for surfing. We intentionally cap our weekly retreats at just 6 guests. Roots isn't a surf factory; it's a living room for ocean lovers, a sanctuary for deep progression, and a community where you arrive as a guest and leave as family.

If you are an experienced beginner or intermediate surfer looking for a place where you can receive personalised surf lessons in small groups with lots of input and getting up very early before sunrise every day is not a problem, then you should come to Roots. Please note that we are an adults-only retreat.

Note: Please note that our theoretical focus for the Surf and Surf & Yoga Retreats is on shortboarding and not specifically on longboard techniques. If you are interested in longboarding, please check our dates for the special longboard retreats.

What you can expect from your stay with us

Roots Lombok offers high professional surf coaching for experienced beginner and intermediate surfers. Daily theory lessons, detailed photo/video analysis and direct feedback in the water by local head coach Zakir are guaranteed.

Our Philosophy

nature is home

At Roots we believe nature isn't just something to look at—it is our home. We work everyday to reduce our carbon footprint through saying no to single-use plastic (guests enjoy unlimited refills of purified water), sustainable toiletries (refillable shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand wash), organic waste management (we compost and feed it to animals), use water sparingly and try to use as little electricity as possible.
