Robbie was a great instructor, with his guidance I was able to enjoy the full two hour session with minimal falling off. A few photos of you surfing are also included, which is a nice bonus. Please note that for me these were taken from the beach with a long range camera lens, not by GoPro in the water. Highly recommended!

Finally I manage to stand up on the board and ride the wave , thank you so much , all the instructors are super patient and funny , I enjoyed my lesson a lot with them , I will definitely be back and look for them when I’m back to Bali !

It was so fun, I had the best time. They are with you in the water for majority of the time (not when your catch a wave). I really recommend booking with them.

Wonderful experience surfing with Robbie! Highly recommend for beginners

So fun! Lovely staff and very encouraging. Thanks for a great morning!
