Full description

This is a 2-hour experience in Canggu. It is run by Nyangko Surf School, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Surf lessons around Canggu happen on beach breaks, mostly at Batu Bolong and Berawa, where the sand bottom and slow, crumbling waves suit first days. Lessons run about two hours with a soft-top board and a short session on the sand first, and instructors push beginners into whitewater rather than waiting for green waves. Mornings before 9:00 are cleanest in the dry season, April to October, when the wind is offshore; the wet season brings bigger, messier surf and afternoon onshores. Rash vests are provided and reef shoes are not needed on these beaches. Book a second lesson only after the first; most people are standing by the end of it.

The price covers Surfboard, Water bottle, Rashguard, Zinc and Parking fees and possibility to sit on bean bags at the. It does not cover Transfer to and from beach and Very easy to book transport for approx 15000 IDR, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Nyangko Surf School sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Nyangko Surf School before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Super, nous avons eu un moniteur chacun et il se sont adaptés à notre niveau. Ils nous ont aidé à prendre chaque vague et nous ont motivé et encouragé, ils nous ont corrigé pour que l'on s'améliore, je recommande c'était vraiment top. Il y a Locker, crème solaire et eau a disposition. Le spot de rdv est facile a trouver.
