Review Body: Andrey, Russia I had several private surf lessons with Agie and realised that he is an excellent teacher from the first minutes in the water. Having in view that I was a purest beginner, never tried surf before, Agie made me able to stand on the board in the first lesson! After a couple further trainings I was already able to choose the wave and surf independently. In addition, Agie is a very pleasant, polite and nice person to deal with. I strongly recommend him as a teacher for every beginner going to start surfing in Nusa Dua!

Review Body: Perfect surf guiding We stayed in Nusa Dua for a week and went with Agie for four days of surf guiding which were perfect! No matter if swell was small or big, he always found the perfect spot for our level. So as conditions changed a lot throughout our stay we ended up surfing at different spots every day and looked at even more, which was nice to see so many beautiful places. So if you are looking for perfect surf guiding just go with Agie! We definitely will come back!

Review Body: 🏄🏾‍♂️🏄🏾‍♂️🏄🏾‍♂️ Agie was easy to contact from here and got back to me quickly. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to Kuta. He was funny and very patient with my 8yr old son who wanted to learn. His second attempt and he was up and away, he stayed with him in the water and instructed helped him the whole time. My son loved it and it was high fives all round. We have been told when we return to Bali he wants to see Agie. Thank you so much 😊

Review Body: Private surf lesson Fantastic private family group surf lesson with two instructors, right out the front of our hotel. Agie was fantastic to deal with over WhatsApp in the lead up to our holiday and was very patient with my numerous questions. Everyone was up and riding the waves by the end of the 2 hours. We hired boards each day after as well which was a great way for everyone to keep practising their newly found skills.

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: My sister and I had a great time surfing! Instructor Agie was very kind and friendly. It was my first time surfing. We went to nusa dua beach to surf, and the waves were manageable for us since we went during the good tides. Agie picked us up from our villa and sent us back, and was patient in teaching. 2 hours was more than enough for us, we were soooo exhausted!

Review Body: This place is great. Easy to talk to and get guidance from. Few quick texts over Whatsapp and we were set for the following day. The part I liked about the lesson the most, was that he didn't do a lot of hand holding. It made it easier to figure things out on my own. Had me up on a board in 3 tries! Would recommend to anyone looking for a lesson in Bali.

Review Body: Great surf lesson! Surfing with Surf Paradise Bali was an absolute pleasure and lots of fun. Agie always found an empty beach with less people in the water. His knowledge to teach surfing is just excellent and me as a intermedeate surfer could improve my skills really well. I always felt save with him in the water. I highly recommend!

Review Body: Great surf lesson! We found Surf Paradise Bali while searching for a surf school in Nusa Dua. We contacted Agie by WhatsApp and were able to organise a surf lesson already on the same day. Agie picked us up from our hotel and our lesson was on Blackstone Beach. The waves there were ok for us quite beginners. We had a lot of fun!

Review Body: So much fun! My friend and I had a great private surf lesson. The teacher is very professional and honest. He is knowledgeable about the surf in the area and kept us very safe. We know a lot more about surfing now! The free hotel pick up and drop off was great.

Review Body: Confused They just canceled my booking in a short term, with the reason that the water condition is not good. After that I writing back that I would also like to postpone one day until the condition becomes better, there is no answer back.

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: Agie took time and great care in explaining how the surf spot worked. He also gave to me some pointers on my technique which was greatly appreciated. Will certainly book him again next time in Bali.
