If you are looking for professional, safe, fun and thorough surfing lessons, Monkey surfing has it all. Whether you are a beginner (like me) intermediate or an advanced surfer the team can do it all, with huge smiles all round. Monkey surfing has been my go-to since starting board surfing a couple of years back and have improved my surfing performance amazingly. I have seen people come in with no experience in surfing whatsoever and get a fat wave straight away.
The guys will cover off all the essentials from paddling, board selection, popping up, wave selection, and most importantly, surf etiquette.
Great for anyone, highly recommended.

My partner and I did three days of intermediate surfing lessons.
Monkey surfing is located in front of the two main beginner/intermediate waves in Nusa Lembongan. Perfect location, they take you out on their boat to the waves and pick a break depending on what’s best on the day.
We surfed lacerations and playgrounds.
Fantastic selection of boards, I rode two Takayama’s and both were fantastic. My partner took out an NSP.
Instructors were very helpful, full of knowledge and talent. Shout out to Karl, he got us onto the biggest waves we’ve ever caught (3ft on a reef), taught us how to turn and boosted our confidence!
Great value for money in all.
Tip - wear long sleeve rashies, tights and booties for sun and jellyfish protection. If you don’t have them the surf school does.

I did the 3 day surf lessons and had an amazing time. The instructors are very friendly and very knowledgeable. They have a ratio of 3 student per instructor so the entire experience feels very personal, safe and just fantastic. Plus the owner is a great guy who lives in the island since a long time ago and is creating employment and contributing as any other local so I was very happy to give my $$ to his business as I know is supporting the local people and the island. I also did snorkelling through them and had a great time so make sure to check all the other activities they offer. I highly recommend monkey surfing and all it’s crew and I will come back whenever I have a chance.

We did a couple of lessons around Bali and this place is by far the very best. Our instructor Kal was amazing. Very professional, knowledgeable, amiable and patient. Everything an instructor should be. He made sure we were able to focus on the technical skills, kept us safe and cared to give us that feeling of fulfillment. So really, if you are looking for guidance or learn how to surf, please do the extra mile to Nusa Lembongan with Monkey surfing. Plus, it's a beautiful relaxing little paradise to stay!

Have been staying on the island for 2 weeks and have surfed with them everyday. Having watched other surf schools in the lineup, monkey surf is definitely the best and safest. We did the 3 lesson package and then just went out on the boat for guided surf sessions after that. Super friendly and helpful, you’re guaranteed a great time.

Kahled is one of the best surf teachers I’ve met while traveling: real theoretical lessons (it’s rare and valuable!) before each session in the water that make you feel confident. A real feeling of progress towards an even more intermediate level, I recommend 100%:)

I had not been surfing for a long time and never had such good lessons ever before - I went out surfing 5 days in a row with Monkey Surfing and enjoyed it very much - especially the detailed and individual instructions, the friendly and positive atmosphere, the positive feedback and coaching. These guys were always so helpful and patient and in addition always up for a good laugh, and the group was small enough to ensure individual coaching. I learnt and improved a lot in these days, felt always safe and looked after very well and above all had so much fun. Definitely recommended!

We’ve had such an amazing time with Kal and his colleagues. As we are beginners and not used to surf on reef breaks, they made us feel really safe and confident. It is definitely the best surfing class we’ve ever taken, they are very good communicators and provide great teaching and tips. The spot itself was magical, with views over to Bali and crystal clear water. We definitely recommend!

Vandaag gesurft en het was een top ervaring! Het was de eerste keer surfen voor ons dus we wisten niet echt wat ons te wachten zou staan. We begonnen met uitleg en gingen daarna de boot op, we zaten met veel mensen die het al goed konden. Wij zagen dit als een pluspunt, omdat we het idee kregen dat wij daardoor extra werden geholpen. Ze probeerden je zo goed mogelijk te helpen en gaven je goede tips die echt hielpen om een zo goed mogelijke prestatie neer te zetten. Een hele leuke ervaring en zou deze school zeker aanbevelen.
Liefs Jente en Nelle

Hello :),
Do you have special times for beginner lessons? Because of the tide maybe?!
And how much costs a beginner lesson?
Thank you!
