Not sure what a group surf session looks like? Here’s a quick breakdown of what you can expect when you book a beginner-friendly surf lesson in Bali—especially at laid-back beaches like Sanur.
It all starts with a short land-based session where your instructor will walk you through the basics—how to paddle, pop up, and stay safe in the water.
Then it’s time to hit the waves. Your group will take turns practicing in the ocean, with your instructor nearby to offer guidance, help you catch your first waves, and cheer you on when you finally stand up (trust us, it feels amazing).
Everything’s included—foam surfboards, rash guards, and often a bottle of water or towel, so you can focus on having fun. Want to remember the moment? Photo or video add-ons are usually available too.
Each session lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours, which is just right—not too short, not too long. Enough time to learn, laugh, and maybe even ride your first real wave.
