Leave Jakarta on Friday night. Be in the water by seven.
Two nights, one surf lesson, and a barbecue in the garden on the Saturday. The shortest way to forget the city for forty-eight hours.
Day by day

Three nights and two lessons, with a board yours to use whenever you want in between. The pace is deliberately slow: surf at dawn, sleep through the heat, paddle out again at four.

Six nights, the full west coast of Java: Anak Krakatau, three days deep inside Ujung Kulon with two nights on Peucang island, and two surf lessons in between. This is the one to take if you came a long way.
