If they are all surfers they are probably going to be like caged animals in Ubud after getting a taste of decent surf. I might be wrong though.
Could throw in a few nights in Balian? Nice and quiet and good surf.
If they have it in their budget I'd also think about getting a surf guide (even if just for the first few days to show them the breaks). Local knowledge is a great thing on a surfing trip, especially if there isn't much swell...
