About Us
Get to know the mates behind My Mate Surf, and why surfers from all over choose us for a safe, fun, and genuinely memorable time in the water.
At My Mate Surf, we believe learning to surf should feel like paddling out with a friend, not sitting through a lesson. Whether it’s your very first time standing on a board or you’re chasing a cleaner turn, our approach stays the same: patient coaching, real progress, and a good laugh along the way.
Our coaches are local Canggu surfers who’ve spent years reading these waves, guiding first-timers, and helping travelers actually feel confident in the ocean — not just survive it.
We keep our sessions personal and safety-first, built around your pace and your comfort level. Knowing this coastline the way we do means we can pick the right spot, at the right tide, so every session counts.
With My Mate Surf, you’re not just taking a lesson — you’re getting a mate in the water who wants to see you catch a proper wave.
