Although Legian Beach is one of the safest places for beginners to learn to surf in Bali, the sport still has its risks. Rip currents can take surfers by surprise, leg ropes can snap, and wayward boards can cause injuries.
We are fortunate that Chandra’s Surfing is situated right next to a lifeguard post, so there are trained lifeguards watching over our guests and students all day long. Should you get into trouble while surfing, they can jump on a rescue board or jet ski to reach you.
But taking a surf lesson in Legian with us just got even safer, because Chandra has completed three courses to improve his knowledge as a surf instructor and his service to customers. We are proud to say he is now one of the few ASI certified surf instructors in Bali!
Surf Rescue
This course provides skills and knowledge for basic surf awareness and preparedness for performing surf rescue operations. Rescue techniques include using rescue tubes and rescue boards to reach and recover surfers who are unable to make it back to shore by themselves.
Senior First Aid and CPR
This course provides the skills and knowledge to administer first aid (including CPR) in emergency situations, until professional medical help arrives. It covers a range of situations that can possibly occur while surfing, including:
- Heatstroke
- Dehydration
- Lacerations
- Fractured and broken bones
- Concussion
- Drowning
- Shock
ASI Level 1 Surfing Instructor
Chandra has been successfully teaching people to surf for over 8 years, and now he has completed formal training to help him improve the service he offers through his business. This course from ASI (Academy of Surfing Instructors) included training on:
- Delivering surf lessons safely
- Surf lesson planning
- Coaching methods
- Communication in a surfing environment
- Assessing performance
- Responding in emergency situations
So, if you’re planning to book a surf lesson with us soon, you can be assured of an even more professional service – but of course we haven’t lost any of the fun!
