Surf lessons, offered by a certified surf school, are recommended by Kala for beginners who are new to surfing. These lessons provide essential knowledge about waves and initial training using soft-top surfboards to minimize the risk of injuries. We have a dedicated five-day (six lessons)
Learn-to-Surf package for beginners, which must be booked separately and is not included in our room/surf guiding packages.
In the Learn-to-Surf program, beginners receive morning lessons focusing on basic skills. Following a Five-day program, participants can join Kala Surf's afternoon surf guided sessions from the second day onward. Surf guiding involves professional surf guides accompanying you to suitable surf spots based on your skill level. They provide detailed spot introductions, accompany you in the water, and offer support to help you catch as many waves as possible. Throughout the sessions, our surf guides provide valuable feedback and advice to enhance your surfing skills.
For absolute beginners we recommend our five-days Learn-to-Surf package. This way you save a lot of time and avoid making mistakes that are difficult to straighten out later on. Along with the surf school course, you can surf a second time later in the day with our surf guides (depending on surf conditions). If you can handle a take-off and manage to surf to the beach standing upright ahead of the white wash, you do not need to attend surf school and your best bet is our surf guide where you’ll learn with lots of practice. Our surf guides will help you and give you lots of tips so you can take your surfing to the next level.
Learn-To-Surf package at the surf school includes: lycra, towels, sunscreen and drinking water. For the surf school and the surf guiding sessions you need to rent a board in advance or directly from the camp.
You can start the Learn-to-Surf course any day from Monday to Sunday.
The most recent enrollment for the morning and afternoon sessions must be completed by 8 pm the day prior. After obtaining your equipment and participating in a briefing, you are free to explore different surfing locations without any hindrance.

We recommend a tetanus boost (1 jab in your rear end), hepatitis A (2 to 3 jabs, starting 6 weeks before your trip), typhoid (oral vaccination, 3 weeks before) and, if you want to be on the safe side, malaria prophylaxis and rabies vaccination. Bali is classified as malaria-free. However, there are some isolated cases of infection now and again. Bear in mind that malaria prophylaxis has side effects on organs and mind. If you act wisely (repellents, protective/covering clothing), you can keep the risk to a minimum. If you want to travel further, you should find out the situation of your preferred islands.
All kinds of antiseptic creams, lotions, band-aids, etc. can be found very cheaply at local pharmacies. Medical care in the tourist regions of Bali is good and mostly up to western standards (hygiene, disinfection, educational standards of the medics, etc.).
