Full description
This is a 2-hour experience in Canggu. It is run by Hobby 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 High-quality surfboards, Rash guards, Comprehensive beach briefing, Personalized coaching and Hands-on guidance. It does not cover Drop off and Pick up, 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.
Hobby 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 Hobby 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.

First surfing lesson of my life with hobby!!! The teacher is very patient and encouraging, he gives good advice and made me get up on the board with practically all my waves go!!! In addition you will be with an Indonesian surfing star 👍
It was great surfing experience for beginners. I really enjoyed and tried basic techniques. The surfing instructor was very supportive and always helped to catch the wave. After one hour of lesson the tide got high, and I got an opportunity to continue on the next day when waves are more suitable for beginners. This was very nice of organisers. Totally recommended!
The best place in Bali where to start surfing for the first time. The staff was all very kind and prepared
Super ! Thanks to the good teacher i had, good and funny moment :)
Hobby Surf in Kuta is absolutely awesome! 🤙🌊 The instructors are friendly, patient, and really know how to make learning to surf fun and easy—even if you’re a complete beginner. Great vibes, professional guidance, and an unforgettable experience in the water. Highly recommend Hobby Surf to anyone wanting to learn or improve their surfing in Kuta! 🏄♂️🔥
人生初のサーフィンをここで体験できて本当に良かったです！ 最初からとても丁寧に教えていただき、何度も苦戦しましたが、最後には波に乗れるようになりました。スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーで、楽しみながら何度も挑戦させてくれたのが嬉しかったです。 Kuta Beachという最高のロケーションで、忘れられないサーフィン体験になりました。 バリで初めてサーフィンに挑戦するなら、ぜひここをおすすめしたいです！
Le cours de surf était super, cours privé avec des explications très claires. L’endroit est magnifique et l’activité est très bien organisée ! Merci beaucoup 🤙🏻
Hobby a été vraiment cool avec nous il a pris le temps de nous expliquer les bases du surf même si une fois dans l’eau c’était plus compliqué pour nous 😂 en tout cas on s’est éclaté et c’est l’essentiel merci à l’équipe Hobby surf 🏄♀️
Het was fantastisch! Het was mijn eerste surf ervaring en hobby deed het zo leuk en legde alles met alle geduld uit. Hij is zelf een mega goeie surfer. Bedankttt❤️
満足するまで何回も波に乗らしてくれて、すごく親切でした✨ またもう一度ここでサーフィンをしたいです！ The instructors were so kind and kept helping me catch waves until I was completely satisfied. ✨ I had an amazing time and would definitely love to come back and surf here again! 🏄♀️🌊
サーフィン初心者で、上手くできるか少し心配していましたが、優しく丁寧に教えていただき、楽しくサーフィンをすることができました！ 休憩や終わるタイミングなども丁度よく、無理なく楽しめました。着替える場所もあり、ラッシュガードの貸し出しもあったので、初心者でも安心して参加できました！ 初めてのサーフィンをここで予約して本当に良かったです！ありがとうございました！ I was a little worried about trying surfing for the first time, but the instructor taught me kindly and patiently, so I had such a fun time surfing! The breaks and the timing of when to finish were perfect, so I could enjoy the experience without feeling too tired. There was also a place to change, and rash guards were available to borrow, which made me feel comfortable as a beginner. I’m really glad I booked my fir
I had a great experience with this surfing guide! He was incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly very skilled at what he does. He explained everything really well, was patient and encouraging, and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. You can tell he genuinely loves surfing and enjoys helping others improve. I felt comfortable and confident throughout the session, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. Fantastic instructor and a really nice guy — highly recommended!
