Sofi is the best surfteacher in Bali! He is funny, but can be serious when needed. I was kind of scared of the water first, but Sofi let me feel safe. He has a lot of knowledge and i could ride small waves in the first lesson I did with him. Definitely try a surf lesson with Sofi, you will love it!

I’ve been surfing with Sofi while traveling in Bali and I can really recommend. It was my first lesson and he explained everything well in the beginning. Also in the water I felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun. So if you are in Canggu and you wanna try surfing you should definitely check out Surfing with Sofi 🤙🏽

I have surfed with Sofi lots of times before and he is one of the best instructors in Bali. He is so patient and caring and you will improve so much in a short time. I really recommend him. Thank you Sofi for everything over the past years!
