Learning to surf in Bali
This morning I got an email from a lady who had just signed up for a 3-day beginning surf lesson with us. She was coming in August but already excited about and asked me what exercises she should do before hand. Being a crappy surfer, but a great bullshiter, I told her yoga, as the 'sun salutation' is similar to surfing! Well it is a funny kind of way, the stance is similar to the pop-up. Reading the email I could remember my own excitement when I took a surfing lesson a couple of years ago.
What makes Kuta beach the ideal place is:
1) It is super handy
2) It has a sandy bottom
3) It slopes so gradually that you can walk out 100 meters and still be only chest deep.
4) They have lifeguards.
5) You are not alone in the water, there are plenty of other people out enjoying the surf too.
I learned to surf at Bali Learn to Surf and they have the best location, right in front of the beach at the Hard Rock Hotel.
The water is warm and the first time you manage to stand up on one of those big boards and catch a little 2ft wave you will love it! I think I am overdue for a tune up lesson to show you how fun it is.

Hi Nick,
Surfing the waves back home (well Boogieboarding) for a dozen years, and having experienced for several times the surfboard, I’m not really into the lessons kind of thing. However, I’m wondering if it’s difficult for me to rent a board for half a day or so (long board preferably)? And if you know of such possibility, can you point me out some places?!!
If you know prices I also appreciate the sharing… hehehe.
Thanks in advance,
Fernando Godinho
