Posted on Saad SApril 9, 2026Verified Game changing coaching I am an intermediate surfer looking to improve my technique, and Bali Surf Instructor was exactly what I was looking for. What really stood out was the continuous feedback—each wave was reviewed in detail, helping me clearly understand what to adjust and how to progress. The coaching at Bali Surf Instructor is highly engaged and personalized. My coach took the time to analyze every aspect of my surfing in a constructive and supportive way, making it easy to translate feedback into real improvement in the water. This kind of structured, hands-on approach is quite rare in surf coaching, where the gap between student and instructor can often feel significant. If you’re looking for a fun experience at great surf spots around Bali, while genuinely improving your technique and coming away with new skills, I highly recommend Bali Surf Instructor. A special thank you to Nawir for his kindness, patience, and constant encouragement throughout the sessions.Posted on Jet46118102513March 7, 2026Verified Amazing surf experience! I highly recommend this surf school! I joined the lessons alone, but everyone was very friendly and welcoming, so I felt comfortable right away. The coaching was excellent and very personalized. They provide one-on-one guidance that perfectly matches your level, so I think surfers of any level can enjoy and improve here. My instructor Yudi was especially amazing. He was very kind and supportive, and as a local surfer he always guided me to the best waves and helped me position myself well in the lineup. I’m somewhere between beginner and intermediate, but thanks to his coaching I was able to catch waves much better than I usually do, and I had some of the best waves I’ve ever ridden. The price is also very reasonable and includes everything — the surfboard, rash guard, instructor, and water. It was a great experience and I would definitely come back again!Posted on Micha dFebruary 26, 2026Verified Great first surf experience in Canggu! 🌊 I had a private surf lesson in Canggu with Nawir and it was an amazing experience. He is a calm, friendly instructor who explains everything clearly and takes the time to guide you step by step. Safety and respect for the sea is the nr 1 and with that in mind you will have fun doing the waves It was my very first time surfing and the waves were quite challenging due to the weather, but thanks to his guidance I managed to stand up several times during the lesson! I highly recommend this private surf school to anyone who wants a great and supportive surf experience in Canggu. Definitely worth it!Posted on Chris DFebruary 18, 2026Verified Great experience Had a private solo session with Lory was very good and helpful got me from nothing to riding the waves within an hour!Posted on Curious20675550884February 18, 2026Verified Bester Unterricht meines Lebens Hatte eine tolle erfüllte Erfahrung bei dem Training. Ich hab extrem viel gelernt. Nur zu empfehlen. Nawir is der beste.Posted on N RJanuary 31, 2026Verified Incredible memories… surfing on Day One! Absolutely incredible experienced surf instructors. Their daily is the ocean and the surf, they will transfer this knowledge to you if you are patient, listen and willing to learn. Safety and respect for the sea are paramount with these young men, no ego only a fun local atmosphere filled with trust. I was standing up and surfing on Day one! Rebooked more lessons with Nawir because he had a lot more teach & share. On site photographer Abid will capture it all for a small fee too. Bring ginger, a rashie, sunscreen, a good mood and they'll handle the rest making sure you experience real surfing in no time.Posted on Morgane JOctober 25, 2025Verified Wonderful private surf lessons I had the best time with Roy. After only the first lesson, did I feel comfortable and confident again on the board after not having seen one in over a decade. He was both patient and funny, and absolutely made sure I was okay during the full lesson. Would highly recommend 🤩Posted on Antoine ROctober 25, 2025Verified Good surf & good vibe & fast learning with Nawir and Roi Perfect place if you want a personalised experience based on your actual level of surf. Allows you to spot key weaknesses and improve fast, but still while having a lot of fun. + Nawir and Roi are very kind and professional. very very good vibe, thank you guys go without any hesitation 😉Posted on Ross InmanOctober 2, 2025Verified Awesome experience with the best instructor! Just had the best time learning with Nawri! The lessons were super high quality, and I was riding waves almost immediately. Nawri is such a great coach - patient, encouraging, and really good at building things up step by step at your own pace. It made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and confidence-boosting. Can’t wait to come back and learn more. Highly, highly recommend!Posted on Mark BAugust 18, 2025Verified Navigating the chaos calmly and professionally If you are scrolling through all the reviews looking for a surf teacher that’s speak impeccable english, who will level up your surfing and help you navigate the local breaks you found him! He knows everybody in the water and will guide you through the chaos calmly and professionally. I can’t wait to get back out on my own and put into practice all the things I learnt! Thanks Nawir!
Many surf schools in Bali focus on pushing you into waves so you can stand up, smile for a photo, and say you’ve surfed. It’s fun – but it’s not really learning to surf.
We do things differently.
At BSI, every session is about understanding your movement, technique, and timing – not just getting pushed. We teach you how to paddle efficiently, when to pop up, and why your body position matters on every wave.
During each ride, your instructor gives real-time feedback and explains what to adjust – so you improve wave after wave. That’s why our students progress faster, build confidence, and actually can surf independently sooner.
If you just want a quick push and a photo, there are cheaper options everywhere. But if you want to truly learn to surf – to feel control, read waves, and keep progressing – you’ll feel the difference from your first lesson with us.
