Private Surf Coaching in Bali: Custom Trip for All Levels

Summary

Learn to Surf in Bali with Local Coaches and Flexible Spots

If you want to learn to surf in Bali or just up your game, this trip gives you real coaching at beaches chosen for your level. You’ll get local tips, plenty of support, and time in the water that’s all about you—not a big group.

What’s the experience like?

Salt in the air, board wax on my hands, and the low hum of scooters passing by—my morning started at a tiny warung near Seminyak. Our surf coach, Wayan, greeted us with a grin and two strong cups of kopi. He checked the tides on his phone, glanced at the sky, and picked a spot that matched both my nerves and the wind: Batu Bolong Beach. The sand was already warm underfoot, and you could smell incense from a nearby temple drifting over the shore.

Before we hit the water, we ran through pop-up drills right there on the sand. My first few tries were wobbly—Wayan just laughed and showed me how to shift my weight. Out in the waves, he paddled beside me, calling out tips between sets. I wiped out more than once (okay, more like five times), but he was patient, pointing out which waves to chase and when to wait. After about an hour and a half—arms like noodles—we headed back to debrief. There was time for questions, feedback, and another quick coffee before our ride back. The whole thing felt relaxed but focused; no pressure to rush or perform.
