Last Wednesday, my partner and I booked a semi-private surf lesson for beginners and this is actually my first time learning how to surf. The booking process was so easy and Paul (I assume that he is the owner) sent me all the information, guides, and instructions to follow.
That morning, he introduced me to Pei, one of the coaches. Our instructor is really nice, humble, and funny. He speaks really good English and knows exactly how to make me calm because I tend to be panicking when the wave is coming after me and he is really good at noticing if you do things the wrong way (he will immediately notice and will teach you the right technique).
After 3-4 failed attempts, I can finally stand up on top of my board and IT WAS AMAZING because I don't have any expectation to actually stand up on top of the board and riding the waves that long ON MY VERY FIRST LESSON!
Don't worry about big waves, because for beginner level, the waves won't be too high (you can stand up as well and the water will be around your waist or neck, I am 158 cm btw).
My semi-private class is 2 hours long, and they provide us the board and locker room. There are also showers and toilets that you can use.
And Miss Emilia, one of their staff will accompany you to the beach and will take your photos and videos. I think this is important to mention because some of you might travel alone and too shy to ask other people for help to take a picture for your memory in Bali.
If you are in Bali and would like to learn to surf, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Up2Surf Team. They are really professional and I believe you will not have any communication problems.
I definitely will be coming back next week for my 2nd lesson with them! :D
