Surfing in Indonesia

Agie was easy to communicate with, and a good teacher. I’m a beginner but have tried surfing a couple of times before (a long time ago!). He gave me a few tips which had me up and coasting along better than before.

Both instructors I had were kind and had many great pointers. You cuff tell that they were actually looking at my surfing and trying to find ways for me to improve. Sometimes I felt a bit left out in the calm parts when they would just speak in a different language to other surf instructors between waves, rather than getting to know you. I felt it was kind of expensive for Bali
