Batu Bolong, Canggu
We teach every lesson at Batu Bolong beach, right by Old Man’s. Its long, slow-rolling wave gives you time to pop up, which is why it’s one of the best places in Bali to learn.
Each lesson is two hours. We start on the sand with safety and pop-ups, then head into the water together and pick the waves that suit your level. Board, rashguard, zinc and drinking water are included.
Your coaches are Herry and Frepy, who grew up surfing on Nias Island. Both are lifeguard qualified and certified surf coaches. Book on WhatsApp and we’ll send you the meeting spot and the best time for the tide.
