Kisa and his nephew provided an awesome service for our two 16 year olds. The level of knowledge of local conditions and years of experience went above and beyond. The girls got a great understanding of the surf and the two hours started on the sand with exercises to get them used to the actions they would require in the surf. Within the hour they were both standing in the gentle surf. Both came away excited by their achievements and raving about their instructor Ravon (sorry if misspelt).
 Thank you Kisa for your exceptional knowledge and great service.

The instructors are very knowledgable in what they do! They start with the basic on the sand and help build your confidence right up to the top. It was right next door to my hotel so I could easily just walk across the road. The best thing was the team at Fun surf school is that they're all so happy, positive and you make such good friends with them!

I highly recommended doing surf lessons through with these guys! I had about 2 lessons with them before I had to go home and within the two lessons. I have learnt so much about surfing. I would deffs come back again with these guys! Thank you!

I highly recommend fun surf school! The instructors are very good at what they do. We started on the sand where they showed us how to stand on the board. They took us into the water and I couldn’t believe it but I rode so many waves! If you ask me you should at least do two hours of lessons. After the lessons we had some delicious street food. We ate together and had great conversation. Not only did they teach us to surf but they were very hospitable as well! I give them 10/10!

Kisa is fantastic with the kids. He had both boys (5 &amp; 7 yrs old) surfing last year on their first lesson. We came back this year and the boys both got straight up again. They loved it! Thanks mate and hopefully we get back to Bali for another surf soon.

Kisa is good instructor surf, he is teaching not only by the technique but with his heart too. Before my daughter doesn't want to learn surf, after hearing his word she is changing her mind and taking action to learn surf. Next time she will take another lesson while she is in bali. Good job kisa and have a great day all the time in "last paradise on earth" (Bali)

I have been to Bali a few years ago for a whole week learning surfing but I couldn’t even get up. This time, with Fun Surf I could almost get up instantly （without any aid from the instructor) ! Thanks Kisa for your advise.

We are very lucky that we met Fun surf school with Kisa in Bali. He was the best and the most experienced guy we met on our trip in Indonesia. Kisa helped us in waves in Bali which were new for us. I would like to recommend him and his school to everybody - beginners or other people who want to help in Bali waves or just rent a surfboard.

During our stay in Bali we were looking for a good surfboard rental just close to legian beach. We found the surf school by just walking down the beach and chose to go there as the prices were really good and the staff was super friendly and not intrusive like most of the people at the beach who would like to offer you something.

We just rented some boards as we have already had some surfing experience, however we still got a small and excellent briefing before entering the water. We got advised which board to use regarding our surfing level and at the second day I was recommended to use a smaller board (level 6/7) and it worked out really well.

Moreover we even got texted via whats app when the waves were good in order to make our day in the water as perfect as possible.

Everyone there is very friendly and they treated us like family :)

We would recommend this to everyone who is looking for a professional, friendly and helpful surfing school. You will experience more than just surfing but moments you will never forget just like having a chat with a few drinks at the beach during sunset together.

Thank you Kisa and Rifon for making our stay in Bali so exciting and special :)
 We wish you all the best and we will never forget you guys:)

I surfed twice in Kuta with the help of Kisa.

When in Bali, YOU MUST TRY TO SURF! You must try to surf in Bali because they have the best spot to try surfing; It’s beginner-friendly.

So on our 6th day in Bali, we decided to get out of bed at 2pm and spend the rest of the day in Legian. Our hotel was just 5 minutes away from the beach. When we got there, we rented beach beds along Legian shore. Then, Steph and Camille decided to look for food. When they returned, it was time for me to look for my own food and found Indomie’s Mie Goreng, while waiting for it, I looked for a surfing school and my feet brought me to Kisa’s.

Kisa was something else, he is not your average type of surfing instructor. He would try to pass on his knowledge and love of surfing. He taught me the proper technique in surfing even the proper handling of the board while in the water to avoid accidents. He taught me how each part of the board was called which I never learned before. His goal is not only for you to stand in the board but really learn the proper way of surfing. I was never confident being alone in the sea, I get panic attacks but Kisa... Kisa made me realise that the sea; the waves is not an enemy. There’s nothing to worry about, it’s all in the mind. His love and respect for surfing, for Bali, for his hometown and for nature is so infectious. For Kisa, surfing is not only about fun, surfing is a way to be one with nature— with this, I totally agree!

Much respect to Kisa!

If you ever find yourself in Bali, don’t think about it, TRY IT! Experience Balinese waters through surfing, and let Kisa help you with that...

Booked the 3 kids in for Surf lessons with Kisa after reading all the great reviews and we weren't let down. With 2 adults and 3 kids from 9 to 15, Kisa organised 3 instructors to help us learn the basics and assist us out in the water. To top it all of whilst we were having a ball in the surf, Kisa was taking a bunch of action photos for us to take home as proof of our newfound skills.
 I highly recommend Kisa and Fun Surf School if you want to learn to surf whilst your in Bali!
