    You can do better

    I didn’t actually choose this surf school myself, it was part of a retreat program. It was a good experience for my first time surfing. I got up quickly and had a great time learning with my friends. It wasn’t until I went to a much better surf school 6 months later that I realized how janky this one was. The equipment and rash guards are really old, faded. Coaches are nice enough when directly working with you but don’t greet people on arrival, walk away as soon as the lesson is finished and would sort of shake their heads and laugh at our struggles, as older women learning to surf. It’s a fun experience if you just want someone to push your board into whitewash, but if you want to be able to surf on your own, I’d go with a better school

    Fantastic 5 day surf course

    We booked our three teenage sons onto the five day surfing course and they had an amazing time. I had a couple of queries prior to booking and these were all dealt with very promptly, communication throughout was excellent. The best thing was the instructors and the instruction! Over the week the boys had several instructors, sorry I can’t remember all the names but Budi was awesome. The course was very flexible and allowed each of the boys to progress at their own pace and to focus on their own areas for improvement. There were loads of instructors around at all times and the attendees all wear matching rash vests to make them easily identifiable. Towels, water, fruit and really importantly zinc were all supplied, leggings were available too. At the end of each session there was a review with photos of each of the boys to highlight areas of improvement. I really can’t recommend the school highly enough. When we’re back in Bali I’m sure we will be back for more lessons! I suppose most importantly, by the end of the week the boys all felt they had learned a lot and are all competent surfers.

    Response from the operator: Hi Alex, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your three sons had an amazing time on the five-day surfing course. It's great to know that our instructors, especially Budi, made such a positive impact on their learning experience. We strive to offer personalized instruction and are glad that the flexibility of the course allowed each of your boys to progress at their own pace. It’s also fantastic to hear that they appreciated the additional touches like the matching rash vests, zinc, and post-session reviews with photos to track their progress. We can’t wait to welcome you all back when you return to Bali for more lessons! Thank you again for choosing Rip Curl School of Surf, and for taking the time to share your experience.

    Best week with amazing instructors

    Had the best week with surf lessons. We surfed in Sanur the whole time and we learned a lot from our amazing instructors MD Yoga and Lolo! Their energy was so nice, they were very positive and gave us great feedback on how to improve after every wave. We also had a photographer with us the whole time who took so cool pictures of us, we also got photo analysis feedback from these. All the staff was amazing and I will definitely come back if I get the chance!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you had the best week surfing in Sanur and that Made Yoga and Lolo made such a positive impact on your lessons. Their energy and feedback are truly invaluable, and we're thrilled that you found their guidance helpful. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the photography and photo analysis as well. Capturing those moments and using them to improve your technique is a great way to enhance the learning process. We appreciate your kind words about our staff, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more surf adventures in the future. Best regards, Rip Curl School Of Surf Team

    I really recommend this surf school. The staff are all so kind and professional! I had 5x2 lessons and it was so nice to improve each time and learn new things. Also they have everything you need, including shower, towel, water and watermelon. :-)

    Response from the operator: Hi Mette P, Thank you so much for your recommendations and kind words. We are happy to hear you felt like improving a lot while surfing with us. We hope to have you back for more in the future! Kindly, Rip Curl School of Surf

    Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuta.

    How much does Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer cost?

    +

    Prices start at $225 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kuta is not rushed.

    Is Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kuta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer?

    +

    Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kuta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kuta and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kuta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kuta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kuta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ubud Private Tour Rice Terraces Temples Waterfalls., Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking Private Tour with Breakfast and Hotel Transfer, Private Tour Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking and Natural Hot Spring. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kuta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kuta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer?

    +

    Included: Towel; Class Duration, Regular 2 hours per lesson; Free Fresh Fruits after the lesson; Student Study book during the course (The soft copies you can download it in our website); and One Million Dollar USD Liability Insurance. Not included: Food; Transport outside of coverage area; and Your swimsuit (bikini or board shorts). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 1362 listed pickup locations in and around Kuta. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Surfing Group Lesson Level 1 Beach Surfer if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
