Our surf school bali only offers qualified and well trained surf intructors.

A brief section on our style of lesson.

Standing Up – Find out which stance you are most comfortable with, right foot forward is called Goofy and left foot forward is called Natural.
Simulate this on the beach or in the privacy of you home. You will best understand and develop the actions of standing up.

First Step – lie on your surfboard or simulate on a towel, you must have correct position. The middle will give you an indication, your feet near or over the tail.
The nose of the surfboard should not be sinking nor should it be pointing to the sky. A Correct trim is required (one inch movement up or down will achieve this.)

Second Step – Paddle in a coordinated fashion. Similar to swimming, without the arms going over the shoulders. Cupping the hands to pull as much water as they can hold. We need to extend one arm from the top right down the side of the board, while the other arm lengthens on the other side, opposing the arms.

Third step – Catching the wave, pick a wave or white wash. Face towards the beach, use your paddling technique for forward motion, and the force of the wave to help you catch it. Place your hands in front of your chest on the board to lift yourself up.
Some people find it hard to get to their feet, using your back leg or knee to assist you will make it easier. Feet should be shoulder width apart, front foot at a 45-degree angle, back foot straight across the board. Knees bent slightly with arms out for balance and direction.
