2-Day Beginner Course

*You won't regret and will come back again and again!

We went to Chandra's place every day to enjoy sun (under umbrella and spf), ocean and so friendly atmosphere! Felt very welcomed, so cozy to stay there!
 And surfing.. Tried so many times before and felt hopeless to stand up on the board, but here - with professional instructor Antonio, right attitude and some Bali magic - i did it on the first wave! Oh my God, now i know how happiness feels :)
 And amazing surf pictures - one of the best highlights of aaall trip, loved it!

Chandra and guys are very helpful with travel tips and problem solving, so it was like having local friends, 100% trustful and kind, funny, open hearted people! Was so curious about everything and Chandra answered all questions about Bali culture, people and most beautiful places (well, now i have to-do list for my next visits..).

I highly recommend you to go straight to Chandra's Sunbeds and Surfing to felt in love with Bali more and more.

Unbelievable I made it. It's my first time to try. They instructed me very well. They make me confident and safe. Go to them. Go ahead.

Had a 2 hour surf lesson with Antonio. It was a really good experience and I got more feedback and tips today than on my entire week with another well-known surf company!

They took photos at the beach and after 1 hour we took a break and I could look at the photos seeing what I did wrong and got the chance to improve it the next hour!

I have nothing to complain about, everybody at Chandras are really nice and helpful. The prices are really cheap as well!

I would definitely recommend this place and looking forward to comeback again! :)

We booked three days of surfing with Dedy and Antonio and it was amazing! They were so nice and made surfing a great experience. Eventhough the waves were quite big, it was fun to try surfing. Dedy helped us paddeling and pushed us through the waves. They were not only relaxed and fun during the lessons but especially before and after.

We took surfing lessons as a couple and got 1 teacher per 2 persons for 1h + 1h without teacher + photos, all for 350k. They also provide long sleve t-shirt so the board does not scratch you. Our instructor was kind and explained everything before we went in the water. It was our 2nd time surfing in Bali so we had no problem standing up on the board. Twords the end he let us try everything on our own and only corrected us when we did something wrong. This was really the best way to learn for us. At the end they sent us pictures taken by a professional photographer with a DSLR camera. Just for that reason it was worth comming here. We really recomend you start your first surfing steps with them.

Can’t recommend these guys enough ! Great instructors from learning on the beach to getting us standing up on the board the 2nd wave we had! We thought the price was ace no need to haggle as your already getting a lot for your money! After the lesson we were able to take the boards back out alone for FREE even then the instructor gave us brilliant advice on where to go and which wave to take! Once we finished surfing we went back to the instructor who was super attentive asking us if we want any food or drink, later bringing us the drinks we had requested, have 2 weeks left on Bali and will sure be revisiting Chandra for some more surfing !!

We had a great time with Chandra's Sunbeds and Surfing. This is a must-try experience, it was very fun. Chandra, our instructor, was professional and friendly. Got nice photos of us while surfing at no additional cost. Highly recommended!

This is the place to go if you're looking for a private surfing lesson for a reasonable price. There were only 3 of us but we were given 2 instructors, so you can be sure to get full attention from the friendly instructors. The included photography is also an added bonus. 10/10 would return again.

To be honest I wanted at the beginning to book the surfing school near by. While zooming on google
 Maps found this super perfect spot! If you are searching for some friends feeling private coaches instead of boring group courses this is the place! Antonius, Dady and Chandra are just the nicest and coolest Indonesien friends! The price was reasonable, the course itself was perfect, got pics from them not costing extra anything. I stayed afterwards for quite a while and we chatted about surfing, life, everything and watched the sunset together! Got the amazing pics as well from Dady! Saying that he can not leave lady alone they even offered me a ride back home, I would say the best part is not just surfing anymore but to have knowing these nice guys! I can definitely just recommend!

My wife and I spent a few hours learning how to surf with Chandra. This has been one of the highlights of our trip thanks to a friendly, professional teacher helping us every step of the way.
 Chandra has been excellent from the outset, offering transparent fair prices and an accurate description of what we would be getting.
 After 10 minutes of on the ground training, showing us the beginner moves, we went straight to the water with Chandra who helped us get acclimated to the board and the waves. Chandra corrected our moves and postures and held the board to put us in the easiest/best position to get a wave. Once we became more confortable, he invited us to be a bit more autonomous while kepping an eye on us.
 Chandra has been ver friendly, pedagogical and helpful during the entire process. It was a great pleasure to meet him and learn to surf with him.
 Had we had more time, we would definitely have subscribed to one of his several days packages where you can mix learning how to surf and tanning on his sun beds for a few days.
 I'll note that Chandra was also cheaper than the nearest competition and very well located if you want to learn how to surf (I tried the next day by myself in another location with bigger wavew... let's say it was not ideal...).
 Very much recommended if you want to spend a couple hours learning how to surf having fun or for a few days if you are more serious about it.

We were recommended by my sister to use Chandra for surfing lessons and I will never use anyone else from now on. Chandra is patient, attentive and informative with our two girls aged 7and 9. I cannot recommend him highly enough!! Nor can I speak highly enough of his photographer. His skills are on point AND Chandra airdropped me ALL of the images he took straight away.

Thank you Chandra, for a wonderful first time experience for my girls and surfing.
 Cannot wait to come back next year and see you all again

We had a 2 hour surfing lesson with Antonio and Daddy who took great care of teaching us how to stand on the surfboard and got some amazing photos to show off. It is at a great price, about 50% of what other places would charge.

Great fun! And great and nice instructors! All four of us were standing on the board after just a short period of time - mom and three teenagers! Of course it helped being snowboarders from Norway, but anyhow the foundation is quite different... Reasonable pricing. Highly recommended!

Chandra is really friendly, very patient and he constantly gives feedback on what you are doing wrong, I enjoyed really much my experience and got also some great pictures!
 My husband took a lesson with Antonio and was also excited.
 We liked the fact that there is a website with fixed prices, all the necessary information, and no bargain needed.
 Thank you, guys! We will come back to you when we are in Bali again.

 Alyona, Kostas and little Ektoras

I had a great 2 hour private surf lesson with Chandra. It is a great price for what you get and it includes pictures! I learnt a lot and was challenged on these more tricky waves. They take great care of you and give good tips to help you improve.
