I have taken lessons at many surf schools around the world, and Surfnesia is definitely the best I have ever experienced. Bintang and his instructors are very very good teachers. They are patient, very knowledgeable, and really care about you having the best time. I saw many improvements in my surfing in the week that I was working with them. They are really experts, and in Bali, with the crowds, you really need an expert teacher guiding you around. I will definitely be working with them again next time I come back

We had an amazing experience with our instructor Bintang at Padang beach. He really makes you feel comfortable and safe in the water as he gives clear instructions. My friend and I were both able to surf and had so much fun learning from him!

Bintang was an amazing instructor. This was my first time surfing and I am a bit clumsy so I was weary but I was able to ride in 4 waves due to Bintangs thorough instructions. He made me feel safe the whole time and it was a 10000/10 experience. I am sad that I will not be staying in uluwatu longer because I want to take more lessons from Bintang!

Bintang is super attentive and very experienced. Always had a great experience surfing with him. My kids also were super happy with his lessons. Kindest and the most professional surf coach I’ve ever met in Bali. Thank you brother and hope to surf with you soon 🏄♂️

My surfing lessons in Uluwatu were an absolute highlight! Bintang was amazing, and as a complete beginner, I felt so safe and supported in the water. He gave me the confidence to get up on the board and have fun. The experience was so great that I brought my sister back for lessons with him the following year! I can't recommend him enough. If you're thinking about learning to surf, this is the place to do it. I'll for sure be back for more lessons next time I'm in Uluwatu ;)"

Bintang is an incredible instructor: good, patient, kind. Explain clearly and advise you at your best. I have already done a couple of lessons with him and the progress is remarkable considering I had never surfed before in my life. Beautiful experience, exceptional teacher. I recommend it to everyone!

Just had an amazing surf lesson that totally exceeded my expectations! The instructor was super knowledgeable, patient, and made learning to surf an absolute blast. The waves were perfect for beginners, and by the end of the lesson, I was catching waves like a pro. Can't recommend this experience enough! Five stars all the way!
