Bali Waves Are Better With a Mate

Rated 5⭐ by Surfers on Google

Forget stiff, formal lessons. Surf with local mates who know Canggu’s breaks inside out and just want to see you stand up, catch your first (or best) wave, and actually enjoy it. Beginner or leveling up — we’ve got you.

Not Just an Instructor, Your Surf Mate

very good surf story starts with someone showing you the way. That’s us. My Mate Surf was started by local Bali surfers who got tired of seeing tourists handed a board and left to figure it out alone. We keep our sessions small, our coaching hands-on, and our vibe relaxed — because the fastest way to learn is with someone who treats you like a mate, not a customer. Whether you’ve never touched a board or you’re chasing your first proper turn, we’ll be right there in the water with you.

Why Surf With Us

The My Mate Surf Difference

We're not the biggest surf school on the beach — and that's the point. Smaller groups, sharper coaching, and mates who actually know this break.

01 — Coaching

Small Groups, Real Attention

No lesson bigger than it needs to be. You get actual coaching time in the water, not just a wave and a wave goodbye.

02 — Local Knowledge

We Know Canggu's Waves

Living and surfing here every day means we know exactly which break, which tide, and which spot suits your level — beginner or not.

03 — Safety

Safety First, Always

Bronze Lifeguard–certified coaching in every session, so you can focus on catching waves while we watch the water.
