Surf Lessons Canggu
Surf Lessons Canggu, taught by the crew who actually surf here every day.
A Canggu Crew That Actually Surfs Here
Canggu is one of the best places on the planet to learn to surf — long, forgiving beach-break waves on black volcanic sand, with spots for every level from Berawa and Nelayan to Echo Beach. From our base on Jl. Lkr. Nelayan, just steps from the line-up, our experienced local instructors run small-group, semi-private and private surf lessons every day in Canggu.
Every coach on our team grew up riding the black-sand breaks between Berawa and Echo Beach, so lessons stay small — never more than five or six students per instructor — with a board, rash guard and full attention included, whichever stretch of Canggu is firing that day.

Why Choose Us
Home-turf knowledge of every Canggu sandbank, tide and current.
We Surf Here Ourselves
Every instructor on the team rides Berawa, Nelayan and Echo Beach on their own days off, so booking a lesson gets you the same read on the sandbanks and tides they'd use for themselves.
Black-Sand Beach Breaks
Canggu's volcanic-sand shoreline produces soft, rolling white water that forgives a shaky pop-up — exactly the kind of wave that gets a first attempt to actually stand up.
Small Groups, Real Coaching
We cap it at 4-6 students per instructor so you get corrected between waves instead of watching from the beach — the difference between a fun morning and actual progress.
A Decade and a Half Here
Fifteen-plus years running lessons on this stretch of coast means we've seen every mood this beach has — and we adjust the lesson plan to match, not the other way around.
Find Us in Canggu
Home base is the Nelayan stretch, and depending on conditions we'll walk you to Berawa, Echo Beach, Pererenan or Batu Bolong instead.

What Our Surfers Say
Notes from riders who've spent a session on the Canggu sandbanks with us.
“Was staying in Berawa for a month and did three group sessions here — you can tell the coaches actually live and surf this stretch, they read the sandbanks better than any school I've used elsewhere in Bali.”
“Private lesson turned into a proper coaching session — footage review, tips on my paddle timing, the works. Worth every rupiah for how fast it moved my surfing along.”
“My sister and I did a semi-private near Echo Beach and loved that it never felt like a tourist assembly line — small group, real conversation with the instructor, genuinely fun morning.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What people usually ask before booking a Canggu session.
Do I need any experience to take a surf lesson in Canggu?
Zero — most people who book a Canggu session with us have never stood on a board. Coaches start you on dry sand with pop-up drills, then walk you into the shallow whitewater together for real attempts, all within the same lesson.
What is included in a Canggu surf lesson?
Board, rash guard and your instructor's full attention are covered — just bring a swimsuit, sunscreen and a towel. Nothing extra to hire, and the session runs a full 2 hours.
What is the best time to surf in Canggu?
We run sessions daily between 6 AM and 6 PM. The wind on the Canggu beach breaks usually stays glassiest early morning and again close to sunset, so that's typically where we'll slot your booking.
How much does a surf lesson in Canggu cost?
Rp 400.000 per person for the group format, Rp 500.000 semi-private, Rp 650.000 for a fully private session — board and instructor included in all three. Drop us a WhatsApp to check today's availability.
