By the end, I caught more than a couple of waves and left feeling confident and excited to surf again. I can't wait to come back and train with Scotty!”

Learning from him means you're getting tips from someone who truly knows the waves here inside out. His advice is precise, encouraging, and always delivered with a laid-back vibe that makes you feel confident and safe.”

“Amazing experience! The instructors are so professional and know exactly how to read the waves. They took us to the perfect spot with great conditions and few people in the water. Made such good progress in just one lesson.”

“I can't recommend Uluwatu Surf School highly enough! As a complete beginner, I was nervous but the instructor made me feel so safe and supported. The theoretical lesson on the sand was super helpful before getting in the water.”
