Surf Lesson in Uluwatu Bali for Beginners & Intermediate Surfers

Uluwatu is often seen as challenging for beginners, but with the right coach, it can be a great place to learn. My coach chose beginner-friendly spots based on my level, while gradually adding a bit more challenge when I was ready. I learned more than just surfing techniques — I also learned a mindset: don’t rush, don’t force it, and trust the process. As my coach said, “easy go, easy win.” I felt safe, supported, and encouraged throughout. Highly recommended!

This surf lesson was absolutely fantastic! Everyone visiting Uluwatu must come here! The instructor was very professional and patient, always explaining each movement carefully. During the explanations, the instructor always used a very calm and reassuring voice to put you at ease. He also taught us how to read the waves, which helped us understand the art of surfing even better! As a beginner, this first surfing experience made me want to learn even more about the sport!

Overall, it was a great surfing experience. The instructor was very responsible, communicated clearly in English, and was very attentive to our safety in the water, constantly watching us and giving many practical tips. Paddling was tiring, but standing up was exhilarating! :) I apologize that my WhatsApp couldn't be activated because it wasn't verified, so I only left my QQ email. I'm grateful they spent a lot of time trying to contact me and eventually reached me via WeChat. Tips: The class time and location might not be the default ones, so be sure to leave your contact information! WeChat or WhatsApp are both fine. Wait for the instructor to contact you to confirm the time and location. Location: Balangan Beach

This is my first time traveling to Bali by myself, and I decided to book this aurf lesson, and to say the least this was great😁 I am a beginner surfer, and was nervous at the beginning but the coach and other people made it feel so welcoming, which really helped with the initial nervy feeling. My coach spoke really fluent English so communication was not an issue, and I can tell he was very experienced and professional, had a great time with him. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone that is interested in water activities here, because I will be coming back 💃 15/10 STARS, loved it.

As a complete beginner, this surf class exceeded all my expectations. I was worried it would be too difficult, but my instructor was incredibly professional and patient. They gave great feedback, corrected my form, and made me feel super safe in the water the whole time. The waves here were perfect for learning, and I actually felt the thrill of riding a wave on day one! Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Bali who wants to give surfing a try. You won't regret it.

equipment: everything was great and beginner-friendly :) location: we surfed at Balangan Beach, which is such a beautiful place to learn with amazing local vibes experience: I had great time in the water. As a beginner, I was able to improve in building confidence, paddling, and popup even after one lesson instructor: all credit goes to my coach Tank :) Tank was amazing — patient, encouraging, and very easy to learn from. He speaks very good English, gives clear instructions, and provides helpful feedback throughout the lesson, which made a huge difference for me as a beginner safety: I felt safe and comfortable the whole time Highly recommend if you’re looking for a beginner-friendly surf lesson in the Uluwatu area!

Tangkius is THE best surfing instructor I've ever met in my previous years of surfing trips. He's dedicated, caring, full of experience and expertise, meanwhile super fun and chill. Knowing I'm only in Uluwatu for four days, Tank took me to surf different amazing places including pedang pedang, balangan, dreamland, nusa dua. Balangan beach is by far my absolute favorite surf spot! Also I noticed there are so many surfing school options here in Bali and I've seen other instructors teaching lessons while surfing. It is very obvious some people teach surfing lesson just for the sake of making money, while Tank devoted his passion trying to help me progress, be safe, and have fun at the same time. My surfing technique and knowledge have improved so much the last couple days while in Bali. THANK YOU <3
