Booked: Private Surfing Lesson in Uluwatu

John was our surfing coach and he was absolutely amazing. Very kind and patient. Got us up and surfing in no time as two people who had never surfed before. Couldn't recommend it more

Booked: Beginner Private Surf Lesson in Nusa Dua

We had a great time surfing! There were 4 of us - 2 adults and 2 young kids - and we had 2 private instructors. One looked after the kids and kept them in the shallow area, and one took care of us adults. We were all standing and surfing by the end of the lesson. They had clear instructions and made it super simple. The instructors were friendly and helpful, and we all had a blast. Would highly recommend.

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
