Private Surf Lessons in Bali
Rocky's full attention on you — every wave, every wipeout, every breakthrough. The fastest way to learn to surf in Bali.
Why Private
The Private Advantage
100% Focused on You
Rocky watches every single wave you catch and gives you feedback immediately after each ride. No waiting for others, no generic tips — coaching dialled in to your exact technique.
Progress 3× Faster
Private students typically progress three times faster than those in group lessons. With no distractions and instant feedback, the improvement from session to session is dramatic.
Photos & Video on Request
Want to capture the moment? Rocky can arrange photos and video of your session so you can see your own technique and share the experience.
Flexible Scheduling
Open daily from 6AM to 6PM. Book the time that works for you — early morning for the best conditions, or work around your itinerary. Rocky is flexible.
Right Board for You
Rocky selects the board based on your height, weight, and experience — not what's available in a rack. The right equipment makes an enormous difference to your progress.
Wave Selection
Rocky reads the water and picks the right waves for your level. Beginners get mellow, rolling white-water. More advanced students get pushed into the bigger set waves.
Comparison
Private vs Group Lessons
Availability
Open Every Day
Best conditions are in the early morning (6–10AM) when winds are offshore and waves are clean. Rocky recommends booking for dawn patrol whenever your schedule allows.
Same-day bookings welcome — just message on WhatsApp and Rocky will confirm availability.

How long is a private surf lesson with Rocky?
Each private session is approximately 90 minutes in the water. Rocky includes a short warm-up on the beach before paddling out so you arrive in the water prepared and confident.
Do I need surfing experience to book a private lesson?
No experience is needed. Rocky teaches complete beginners as well as intermediate surfers looking to improve specific techniques. He selects the right board and waves for your exact level from day one.
How much does a private surf lesson cost in Bali?
A single private surf session with Rocky costs 400,000 IDR (approximately USD 25). A three-session pack costs 1,050,000 IDR — saving 150,000 IDR. Board, rashguard, and personalised coaching are all included.
Where do private surf lessons take place?
All lessons are held at Batu Bolong Beach in Canggu, Bali — one of the most beginner-friendly surf breaks on the island. Rocky teaches here daily from 6AM to 6PM.
