Beginner Surf Lessons - Learn to Surf in Bali
Dawn Patrol Bali – beginner surf lessons are the perfect way to try surfing for the first time. Bali has long been recognised as home to some of the best quality waves in the world. It is a playground for expert surfers with countless incredible beaches. This also makes it perfect for novice surfers to learn the basics with many suitable spots for beginners.
Surfing in Bali for beginners is a lot of fun! We make the most out of your learning with experienced instructors at Bali’s beginner spots in the Bukit Peninsula. Our surf lessons will teach you the correct standing technique and positioning on the board to ensure you enjoy maximum time on the waves. We also focus on paddling and being aware of your surroundings so you are safe in the water.
As your skills develop, we can offer ‘Progressive lessons’- changing to hard top surfboards that help you improve your turning. We recommend a minimum of 3 – 7 lessons to advance your skills to level 2.
