PREMIUM SURF COACHING IN BALI FOR FASTER PROGRESS, BETTER SESSIONS, AND MORE CONFIDENCE

Surf coaching for intermediate surfers, first-time visitors, and kids ages 6–16.

I am fortunate to have found Front Foot Surf.

Alex has helped me improve my surfing in many ways. I already booked privates for my return!! I tried lessons with 2 other surf schools prior to finding Front Foot Surf, one lesson with Alex and I knew I had found the right instructor.
Alex makes learning fun, he is full of stoke and his energy is one of a kind. Alex communicates everything thoroughly and clearly, his focus is to see you improve to your full potential.

We did a video analysis which helped me improve even more. It helped me see what I was doing wrong while he explained how to correct my mistakes. I went from Soft top to longboard to mid length in about 6 lessons.
Another thing I loved about Front Foot Surf was they took me to different breaks around Bali, this helped me practice backside/frontside. If you are planning a trip to Bali and want to learn to surf, book with Front Foot Surf!

WHO IT'S FOR

Three Coaching Paths, Built Around the Same Goal: Better Surfing

Whether you are learning for the first time, trying to break through a plateau, or helping your child build strong foundations, every session is tailored to your level, your goals, and the conditions on the day.

Intermediate Surfers

For holiday surfers who want to start properly and enjoy surfing in Bali with confidence.

  • Safe, supportive lessons

  • Clear instruction from the basics upward

  • Help catching waves and building timing

  • Ocean awareness and surf etiquette

  • Fun, well-run sessions without unnecessary stress

You want your first surf experience to feel exciting, not intimidating.
Because the right coaching can turn a one-off lesson into the start of something you genuinely want to keep doing.


Imagine standing up on your first clean wave in Bali and finishing the session already looking forward to the next one.

Bali Tourists & First-Timers

For surfers who already ride waves and want proper progression, not guesswork.

  • Better positioning and wave selection

  • Cleaner, more efficient pop-ups

  • More committed takeoffs

  • Stronger turns and better flow

  • Clear priorities for what to improve next

You have already put in the time and want your surfing to move forward.
Because more water time alone does not always lead to better habits or better performance.

Imagine leaving Bali surfing with more control, more confidence, and a clearer understanding of what your next level looks like.

Kids Ages 6 - 16

For young surfers who need structure, encouragement, and the right technical foundation.

  • Structured coaching for age and ability

  • Safe, consistent sessions

  • Strong fundamentals and technique

  • Confidence in the ocean

  • A balance of fun, discipline, and progression

You want your child learning in a way that is safe, enjoyable, and technically sound.
Because young surfers improve fastest when they get clear guidance early and build good habits from the start.


Imagine your child becoming not just more capable in the water, but more confident, focused, and excited to keep improving.

Alex is a very experienced surfer and this translates to quality coaching for all levels. He helped my partner and I advance very quickly in 2 sessions. He is patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable of the local conditions.

Highly recommend!

WHY SURFERS BOOK FRONT FOOT SURF

More Than a Lesson.
Coaching That Makes a Difference.


Many surfers stay stuck for the same reasons:

  • Late takeoffs

  • Poor positioning

  • Missed opportunities

  • Unstable turns

  • No clear idea what to work on first

Front Foot Surf helps solve that with coaching that is direct, practical, and easy to apply in real conditions.

You know something in your surfing needs to change, even if you cannot yet name exactly what it is.
Because repeating the same habits only produces the same results.
Imagine replacing frustration and guesswork with clear direction, better decisions, and sessions that actually move you forward.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Better Habits, Better Decisions, Better Surfing.

With the right coaching, surfers commonly leave with:

  • More confidence in the water

  • Better wave reading and positioning

  • Stronger technique

  • Faster progression

  • Safer decision-making

  • More enjoyment every session

You want your surf time in Bali to count for something.
Because a quality coaching session should give you more than a few fun waves. It should leave you surfing better afterwards.
Imagine going home more capable, more confident, and far clearer on how to keep improving.

What Surfers Say

Front Foot Surf is the best experience you could’ve if you wanna learn the right way how to surf and how to improve.

Alex is a patient, kind, and funny. I’ve spent 7 days improving step by step. He taught me in a short period of time way more than in other places. Along with the techniques, this is also about safety/respect in the water and with others.

For me, the bonus was the videos analysis at the end of each session to spot and correct my mistakes. You can trust Alex 100%.

Pauline

Surfing with Alex was so much fun.

Not only is he a good teacher and you can tell that he is an experienced surfer himself, but he also makes the lessons feel like playing, as it should be every time you’re in the water.

Can’t wait to come back again for more spiciness!
