Reviews

We understand that it’s difficult to choose a place to surf or hang out on Legian Beach as there is so much choice!

We believe it’s our friendly team and personal approach that keeps our customers coming back to us until the end of their holiday, and then returning the next year.

My kids and I had lessons with Chandra Surfing for 2 days and hired a board on the 3rd day. At the start, my son was quite nervous and ready to give up. The instructor was so kind in encouraging him, selecting small waves and making the lesson fun and safe. By the end of the lesson my son was catching unbroken waves and absolutely loving it. This is the best surf school and board hire place!!

Very easy to book via WhatsApp. Easy to navigate website for info. Had a fantastic time with the local surfing instructors. Very good prices and well worth adding on the photographer to capture the memory! Highly recommend. Would do again if were here longer!

We met Chandra by chance and we booked 2 private 2 hours lessons.He checked the tides and the best timing for beginners, and then we met with Eddy and Antonio (our instructors for the lessons) at the designated time next day.The price is cheaper if you book via the website, and Chandra is nice enough to let you know this.We started with a quick theoretical lesson on the beach, and then we run into the water for 1 hour.We managed to get up on the board in just a few minutes, and then Eddy and Antonio helped us catch dozens of waves.We took a 10 minutes break after, and then we went back for about 45 more minutes.Chandra is doing this for 13 years, and he is great to chat with. Also, he is a great photographer if you decide to take the photography option.If we are to make it back in Kuta, we’ll definitely visit Chandra again! We had a great time and they made us have an awesome experience, wanting to try it again!

Chandra and his staff are very friendly and they are experienced instructors. I call him "Professor" when he has his glasses on, it fits him a lot really. We became merely friends more than customers to him. Also his prices are sensible and he is considerate to customers budgets, too. My partner had to miss a booked lesson and he accomodated it on another day with no issues. I strongly recommend if you want to have a pleasant Surfing experience.

We had 2 surf lessons in 2 weeks and both were fantastic. Antonius, brother, suksma for the fantastic explanation and bringing me and my sister into surfing, as well as being very fun to be around. Chandra made pictures of us surfing during our first lesson for no extra cost, which was very nice.Deddy brought us our drinks during the break as well as everyones smile when doing so.Suksma to everyone at Chandra’s Surfing/ beach bar and I will definitely return on my next visit to Bali.Suksma once again.

It’s my second time with Chandra Surfing. We did a session in not long before COVID changed the world. So glad to see old pal after all the chaos and decided to do another two sessions (and because previous experience was great of coz). My wife and me had a great time again and now we can catch some waves and surf all by ourselves. We feel pretty happy about that! Antonio the coach was instructive, patient and always willing to help. Chandra’s photo shooting is even better now :).

Had such a great time learning surfing 1 on 1 with Chandra!Chandra was extremely encouraging and also clear with his instructions. He also gives extremely constructive and helpful tips to ensure that I get better with every try! And when I fail, he is still constantly encouraging, pushing me to get better with every surf!He’s super passionate about surfing and you can tell from the way he teaches.As a female solo traveller taking this class alone, it was a really good experience. Chandra made me feel really safe as a student and u could definitely count and trust on him as an instructor!:)He’s really earnest and honest as well. I was supposed to take 2 days of 2 hr beginner lessons. But because I could stand after the first one, Chandra encouraged me to go with the cheaper alternative - which was to just rent the board to practise the next day, instead of taking another lesson.He was also really helpful in telling me which time of the day would be the best to go and surf 🙂 he also very kindly offered to take photos of me surfing towards the end of the lesson!Will definitely come back and say hi to the folks at chocolate bar as well! They’re all incredibly warm and friendly!

To be honest I wanted at the beginning to book the surfing school near by. While zooming on googleMaps found this super perfect spot! If you are searching for some friends feeling private coaches instead of boring group courses this is the place! Antonius, Dady and Chandra are just the nicest and coolest Indonesien friends! The price was reasonable, the course itself was perfect, got pics from them not costing extra anything. I stayed afterwards for quite a while and we chatted about surfing, life, everything and watched the sunset together! Got the amazing pics as well from Dady! Saying that he can not leave lady alone they even offered me a ride back home, I would say the best part is not just surfing anymore but to have knowing these nice guys! I can definitely just recommend!

We rented boards at Chandra‘s Surfing when we went surfing in Kuta. The staff is super friendly and always willing to give tips. Moreover, we wrote an e-mail the day before asking when the best time for surfing will be and always got instant replies. Thank you so much Chandra‘s Surfing for making this an unforgettable surfing experience!

“I made a booking online, and today was the day. Eric was my instructor and he was very patient, as all I really wanted to do was stand up on a board UE kept going until I did. I had an absolute ball. Thanks so much Eric.”

Debbie

“We was stay here for the last 10 days. The guys are extremly helpfull. Every Day Clean Daybeds, cold drinks, the best Mie Goreng at our trip. Chandra gave my wive surf lessons and after the second Hour she catch the first green wave and stay. He is extremly professionel and very helpfull like the whole team.”

Uwe

“Me and my girlfriend, both beginners, took a 2 hour lesson with Johnny. We drastically improved our technique and we could stand after 1 hour easily. Johnny is a great teacher and Chandra is a great host. He took many pics and videos for us. The group is small, just the 2 of us and the price is much cheaper than some other places around that have bigger groups! Great experience throughout!”

“We contacted Chandra via email & had all our questions answered very promptly. They watched to tides & waves & let us know when was best to try not just taking us out to learn in any waves. Very patient, good sense of humour & always felt in good hands & when you were finished the lesson there was a sun bed with umbrella to crash on. We will be back !! Thank you Caro & Dasha”

“I appreciate the way Chandra runs his business, that they stick to their price list from the Internet, and will not try to raise their price even if you haven’t read their online price list. This is a present experience especially here in Bali!

Chandra is really a professional trainer, that he’ll closely monitor your progress, and giving useful advices. I got my surfing photos for free, and the shots are excellent! Chandra’s team are all nice and funny guys, so you will get not only the surfing lessons, but some local friends as well!”

Josey

“I found these guys after the larger surf shops across the road said the waves weren’t good for surfing (they were). Johnny gave me a lesson and then I rented a board from them every day for the next five days. I would leave my wallet, iPhone, etc. with them and be off for hours with no worries. Super trustworthy, great, fun guys. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

“We have used Chandra’s sun beds and Surf school for the last 5 years because they are the best! Chandra along with his brother Johnny are nothing but helpful and friendly. My youngest son talks Chandra’s ears off every time we are there and he is more than happy to sit and chat with him!! The boys are very welcoming .. Do yourself a favour!!”

“Chandra and Johnny are two of the most amazing guys you would ever meet. The service they provide is unbeatable.. always smiling… always happy.. NOTHING is a problem… organised Surfing lessons for my two children and it was honestly one of the best experiences of their life… Johnny and Chandra looked after them like they were their own.. Highly recommend you pay these boys a visit..
Rent a sunlounge for the day and just relax and enjoy…
Cannot wait for the next trip to Bali will be heading straight to the beach to visit you all… Emily and Daniel are missing you like crazy… 5★”

“Situated on the best part of the Kuta-Legian beach – in front of the Legian life guard tower – Chandra’s Sunbeds and Surfing offers great service. Chandra, together with Johnny and Jimmy, are the friendliest, guys on the beach and they look after their customers/friends really well. Highly recommended.”

Bill

“Comfy sun beds with big umbrellas ,unbelievable views with great service. Just across the road from Mandira & Legian Hotel”

Susan

“You can get surfboards any where at Legian Beach, but Chandra, Johnny, and Jimmy are awesome company which had us coming back everyday. Great lessons, surfboards, waves, what more can you ask for?”

Michael

“I have a fair experience with Chandra’s place – I rented board, used his sunbed and took a surf lesson. All was awesome. Chandra and his crew are very nice and supportive – they know how to teach surfing and make your beach time great. Strongly recommended!!”

Lukas

“Chandra and his crew were outstanding -not pushy, just accommodating. They remembered our names. They had our sunbeds ready for us in our favorite spot each day. Took awesome pictures. They made us feel at home in Bali. Chandra has become our new friend! Big hugs from your California buddies.”

Geri

“By far the best place to learn to surf!
Chandra is the most genuine and friendly person! We also just had great fun just hanging out for a drink and a chat 🙂 we will definatly be back :)”
