About this tour
Learn to surf Canggu's breaks with an ISA-certified instructor in a private two-hour session. You'll start with wave-reading fundamentals and paddling technique, then progress to catching your first rides. The one-on-one format means tailored feedback, safety checks, and a calm learning environment—no panicking, just progression.

What to expect
Your instructor will meet you at the beach and start with fundamentals on dry land—how to pop up, read swell direction, and recognise safe entry points. Once in the water, expect calm encouragement and hands-on guidance as you practice paddling and positioning. Early attempts will likely see you falling off; that's normal and part of learning. You'll spend most of the two hours in the shallows, building confidence before attempting deeper water. If you're already competent, your guide will take you to different breaks, show you how to navigate rips, and coach you through bigger or more technical waves.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen; zinc cream is provided but reapply often. Wear the rash shirt to avoid wax rash. The lesson suits all fitness levels, but sit out if you have spine issues, are pregnant, or have heart concerns. Arrive 15 minutes early to collect your board.
