  • I'm an intermediate surfer and learnt so much in the 3 days I spent with Aka at Dawn Patrol Bali, so much so that I added other 2 days sessions. Aka helped build my confidence, is very encouraging, and the tips he gave me have made me a better surfer. Two thumbs up to him and the team at DPB.

  • I had surfed a bit before and knew how to stand up but wanted to improve once on the board as I didn't know how to ride backside and what to do once on the wave. I did a lesson with Edo for 2 hours and after just a few waves I could follow the wave in back side as he gave me advice on my position on the board and what to do with my body (look, arms, knees...) after takeoff. Also he was really patient and smiley during the whole class and as he knows the spot, he could make sure I got a lot of waves by giving me advice on where to position myself, when to start paddling and when to paddle stronger before catching the wave. Great experience with great people! Strongly recommended!

  • Me and a few friends had an amazing time when we came to Bali and took a few surf lessons with Akaa at Dawn Patrol. Some of us were beginners and some of us had surfed a little before, to which Akaa did a superb job of making us all feel on the same level. Throughout the lesson Akaa showed us exactly what to do before entering the water, always swimming to help us all out and consistently giving over advice to when returning from a wave. By the end of the lessons everyone was confident catching waves and being able to stand up. All in all it was a great experience and something we would all definitely like to do again!
