5 things you will need to learn to surf in Bali
In order to surf in Bali, you will need a few things.
- First off, you will need a surfboard. Your Surf Paradise Bali instructor will provide one for you for your lesson. If it’s your first lesson, we’ll use a big foam surfboard that is really user friendly. If you’ve already had some surfing experience, we may put you on a hardboard, depending on your level.
- The water in Bali is usually quite warm so you won’t need a wetsuit, but you will need a swimsuit or boardshorts that are secure enough to handle some waves! We will provide you with a rash vest, which will be more comfortable on the board and help keep the sun off.
- One thing you definitely will need is some sunscreen. The sun in Bali is very strong, so it is important to protect your skin.
- You will also need a towel. A towel will help you dry off after surfing and prevent you from getting sunburned.
- Bring water to drink before and after your Bali surf lesson. Learning to surf in Bali takes energy and fitness, so you’ll need to make sure you stay hydrated.
If you have all of these things, then you are ready to take a surf lesson in Bali!

Instead, just focus on bringing the essentials: sunscreen, a towel, water, your phone, and a change of clothes if you plan on staying at the beach for a while after your lesson.
