Fun fun fun! - Let me just say my coach Kai made my first-time surfing so easy! The whole team was very encouraging, even the photographer whose first name started with “N”. Coach Kai is very outgoing and engaging, patient and encouraging and he himself had fun when teaching me as well. I was laughing all the time and he helped me to be more and more relaxing and it turned out that I nailed the first class even just one fundamental move. So credits to my coach Kai! I appreciate the people at surf 27 with their openness and kindness!

Great lessons from experienced coaches - Thanks to the incredible team at Surf 27! From the moment we arrived, the instructors radiated enthusiasm and warmth. Both my 18 & 12 year old had a coach each who were patient and funny, celebrating every pop-up and wipeout with cheers and high fives. In just one session, our kids not only caught waves they caught confidence. We loved how the lessons were paced energetic but never overwhelming, with water breaks and encouragement. If you’re traveling through Bali with teenagers, don’t miss Surf 27. Thanks all 😊

Is 1-2-1 and unreal value with caring instructors! - Booked this Surf lesson due to price for our first one in Bali and researching Kuta was a good start beach. We thought for the price it wouldn’t actually be 1-2-1 instructors but we were wrong. Ardi and Only5 took great care of us on a day where the current was really strong and made it a good laugh across the lesson too! Can’t recommend highly enough

Friendly and professional surf lesson. Great value for money. - Great experience and well run. Totally recommend them. Most of us had never surfed before and they took the time to teach us and also make us feel safe and comfortable. Very friendly from pickup and drop off.

Stood on a surf board in 20 minutes! Fun times! - Erwin and Reza were awesome! My wife and I had never surfed or been to Bali. We booked 27 Surf school not because of the price (even though they were less expensive than other options) but because of reviews. And they didn’t disappoint. They picked us up at our hotel in scooters and that alone was an experience for my wife! 😂 They were always happy, smiling, and making us feel comfortable. They got my wife standing on a board within 20 minutes! She had a blast! I struggled due to mobility issues but also enjoyed my time with them! We wanted to come back but we unfortunately were busy the whole time we were there (and sore!) but we would definitely come back to 27 Surf School! Terima Kasih!

Surfing class with 27 surf school 🏄 - I recently took a two-hour surfing class with Dee at Kuta Beach, and it was an amazing experience. The sunset backdrop made the session even more special 🌅 ❤️. Dee was an excellent instructor, providing clear guidance and encouragement. I felt comfortable and learned a lot in a short time. The only downside was the lack of showers afterward, which made rinsing off a bit inconvenient. Overall, it was a fantastic class that I would highly recommend!
