Intermediate Surf Coaching Clinics
January – March, 2026
Our 2024 intermediate surf coaching clinics held over 8 weeks in Jan and Feb annually scored an outstanding 4.9 out of 5 stars in customer surveys submitted by 41 respondents. We’ve been running our surf coaching clinics since 2018; you can also view our customer testimonials here. What was once known as the “off-season” for surf charter boats has become one of the best times to visit and surf Macaronis, to score uncrowded and perfect waves while improving your surfing!
Our surf coaching clinics are planned with your surfing progress and enjoyment in mind, offered in a relaxed atmosphere to help develop your physical and mental abilities while having a great time! Check out this article by Magic Seaweed about visiting in the low season and taking part in our Surf Coaching clinics. Our 2026 coaching clinics again have a duration of 1 week per clinic over 8 weeks, but you can stay longer if you want to!
During the coaching sessions, there are 8 surfers per coach as per ISA standards, and our accommodation is limited to one surfer per room to keep a cap on surfer numbers, except in the case of surfing couples, or dad and kids, where we can allow 2 surfers per room. By having your own room, you get to enjoy more privacy and comfort with a choice of queen or twin beds, and you can bring along your partner, a non-surfing companion, or the whole family if you’d like to!
Our family suites are also available if requiring more room, please enquire for details. Regular services, facilities, and activities are available to keep everybody stoked and having a great time with exciting things to do.

Meet Your Surf Coaching Team (tbc)
Our surf coaches are International Surfing Association (ISA) accredited having the experience and qualifications to help you improve quickly and surf to your full potential.
Macaronis Resort will also be hosting specialist fitness coaches during each of the 4 weeks offering an optional Strength, Stretch, Breath, and Recovery (SSBR) program, while our two photographers will be providing video playback sessions for coaching purposes, showing photos of the days surfing each evening which is always a lot of fun, and offering professional photography packages to take home with you; all included in the surf coaching package!
Macaronis Resort hosts, Dedi, Wewe, and the rest of the team will be making sure everybody is happy and well looked after, with all of the regular services, facilities, and activities to take part in as well.
It’s one of the best times of the year to visit with very few other surfers around and we’re limiting participants to 20 surfers per week, so it’s best to book early to be assured of a spot. We will be regularly visiting surrounding surf breaks as well, so guests and coaches can take turns surfing at Macaronis and at the other classic Southern Mentawai breaks to enjoy some variety and to spread people around so the line-up does not become too busy.

“Plenty of head-high plus waves in the off-season. There were several super uncrowded sessions. Amazing, caring staff who all remember your name from the first day. They are happy and genuine people. It is such an awesome coaching clinic that really wants to help you improve. They go out of their way to help and do their very best. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, with awesome views. It’s hard to get here, but it’s worth the trek. Also, we enjoyed the guitar and PA system to play with.”
“Thank you for a wonderful holiday. I came for the surf coaching, and it exceeded my expectations. Agus & Ari are amazing, and their knowledge and passion to help everyone improve is second to none. In our first week, Dave was incredibly insightful. Matt, in the second week, is truly inspiring. To all the Macaronis staff – kitchen, cleaning, engineering, boats, restaurant and office, you do an amazing job of making everyone’s time special.”
“Had the best week at Maccas. Amazing location, facilities, and staff. Not only did we score unreal waves, but combined with the mentorship from the surf coaches, I felt my surfing really improved. The classes run by Sammy were a really great addition to the daily routine, and I could see how much of a difference it made in the water. The photography package exceeded my expectations. Overall, it was one of the best trips I’ve had.”
“The past 3 weeks have been way better than I expected. I’ve improved in a way I’ve never thought I could do it that quickly. Reasons for the improvement are definitely the amazing surf coaches. And last but not least, the waves, the best thing ever! Go here and surf it by yourself! It will be better than you imagine.”
