About this tour
Two-hour private surf lesson in Canggu with Tono, an instructor shaped by years riding Indonesia's premier breaks. You'll get one-on-one coaching focused on building genuine wave-riding ability rather than just going through motions. Transport, board, leash and rash guard included. Tono teaches you to read conditions and paddle out with real confidence—the goal is independent surfers, not just lesson-takers.

What to expect
Tono will collect you from your accommodation and take you to Canggu's break. Before paddling out, he'll assess your level and explain what to work on that session—whether it's pop-up technique, wave selection, or paddling efficiency. You'll spend most of the two hours in the water, with Tono offering real-time feedback. Expect to catch several waves and feel genuinely tired afterwards. The lesson is demanding but structured; you leave knowing what you did right and what needs practice, not just having had a go.
Good to know
Bring decent fitness—this is an active water sport, not a casual float. Tono provides all kit, but bring a towel and change of clothes. Canggu can be crowded; Tono will time the session to catch the best conditions. Not suitable if you have cardiovascular concerns.
