TESTIMONIAL

Where do I even begin? My surf trip to Lombok with Fringe Holidays was an absolute blast from start to finish! As a total novice when it comes to surfing, I was a bit nervous about booking this adventure. But the Fringe team organised an amazing trip that put all my worries to rest.

They hooked me up with the most incredible local guides who were super patient and encouraging as I learned the ropes (or should I say the waves?). These guys knew all the best spots around the island to take a beginner like me. We surfed at stunning beaches with gentle waves that were perfect for getting my feet wet (literally!) and building my confidence on the board.

Not only did I catch some amazing waves, but I also got to explore the breathtaking beauty of Lombok along the way. From pristine white sand beaches to lush green hills, every spot we visited was definitely insta-worthy.

By the end of the trip, I was standing up on my board and riding waves with a huge grin on my face. I never imagined I would progress so much in such a short time! I'm totally hooked on surfing now and can't wait for my next adventure with Fringe.

If you're looking for an unforgettable surf experience in a gorgeous setting with top-notch guides, I definitely recommend Fringe Holidays. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Huge thanks to the Fringe crew for organising an epic trip that I'll be bragging about for years to come.
