First time surfing for both myself and my fiancé, it was such a good experience. Yahya & Jo were both so encouraging and patient and allowed us to go at a pace that was comfortable with us. And the most important thing for me as i’m not the most confident in open water, I felt very safe. Something I will be trying again in the future. I would highly recommend going to them if you’re a first time surfer.

Great experience! The instructor, Yahya, was amazing! He was extremely friendly, easy to communicate with, and took good care of us even hours after surfing as we were relaxing on the beach. Could not be more impressed by the team and highly recommend!!

100% recommended for beginners. They explain all the important things upfront. Then in the water, you have a 1-on-1 surfcoach with you. Lovely people and good experience.

Amazing experience thanks to our instructor. My sister and I have both only surfed a few times and we were both shocked by how well we did all thanks to our instructor. He did an incredible job coaching us as well as assisting us with catching waves, the hardest part. If you have never surfed, are a beginner, or more experienced learning to new skills I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience. Went with a group of 7 most of us being beginners. The instructor was very well experienced and friendly.

Had great experience as a first time surfer. One on one instructions. Started on the beach with the basics and headed out into the ocean. It was a lot of fun and loved that they took videos and pictures available for purchase.

Jey was absolutely patient and amazing in teaching us how to surf! Learnt how to stand in one session :D highly recommend him!!

Yayah is a greatly knowledgable and welcoming coach. Being my first time surfing, there was a lot to explain before going into the water, which Yayah explained in simple, easy to understand terms.
His expertise in the area are clear to see and meant I was able to achieve much more than I expected in my first time on the waves!
Highly recommend booking your surfing practice with Yayah!

The instructor doesnt allowed breaks and stop once you need one even if you paid for 2 hours. The waves were big and strong for a beginner.

Fantastic experience!
First things first, it is super easy to find the place. We got all details a day before via Whatsapp and several updates regarding the weather. As the conditions in the morning have been a bit sketchy the operator decided to move us to a later time. As it was our fist surfing experience we appreciated the concerns and were very happy with the decision.
Before you splash into the waves you get some dry drills ashore. This takes about 30 minutes and it is not only lots of fun and laughing but very crucial when it gets wet later on. Only when Dady (our amazing instructor) was absolute sure we can handle the drills it, we got down to the waves.
With these proper training we have been able to enjoy it so much and managed to surf the first waves already.
We will definitely come back for some additional lessons.

Best instructors and a fabulous place to learn to surf

Instructor was very experienced. He was able to explain things well and give me tips to improve my form. He also provided water, storage, shower, rash card, sunscreen, and for an additional cost, high quality photos/ videos!

I really appreciate the care and knowledge that these guys took to make my experience safe and enjoyable. They were very professional and friendly. Very responsive and respectful. Thank you for everything. I really reccommend these guys to teach you surfing.

Wouldn’t recommend anyone else, especially for your first time - Yahya is a legend. Such a huge help!! He even picked us up. Can’t thank him enough🤝🏼
Shannon_C, Aug 2024
Yahya and his colleagues were amazing. We booked the night before and they treated us so well.
Everybody was so welcoming on arrival and offered seats and water. We went through safety as well as being offered rash vests and strong sun cream for the face.
I would recommend doing this if you can swim as the water is deep and the waves are rough but we all felt super safe😊
My arms were killing - it is a good workout- and they were so supportive. Honestly I would recommend this to anyone!!! 🏄 the pictures were shown to us and we bought them all for £50

Was an amazing experience! Yahya is a superb instructor, very clear in his instructions, very encouraging and supporting. I had a lot of fun doing the session thanks to his laid back attitude and constant positivity. He also pushed me to keep trying more as I got better. I couldn’t have asked from more from my first surfing lesson ever, and will definitely be back. Thanks Yahya!

Loved this experience!! Super surfing coach, great waves, and I was very thankful to have the option of hiring a photographer/videographer. I'll treasure those photos/videos of myself and kids always. I highly recommend this activity and provider.
Ani_R, Jun 2024
Yesterday I took my first surfing lesson and it was an incredible experience. I didn't expect to do so well, but I managed to catch about five waves. It was a lot of fun and I laughed a lot. It was a great day and I would definitely do it again!
John_C, May 2024
Awesome time. You were able to get up super easily and really enjoyed the time on the waves. Yahya was very knowledgeable!
Dylan_L, May 2024
Great place to do surf lessons! Had a great time with Yahya, he was super helpful. Would definitely recommend
Thomas_G, May 2024
Great coaching with patience and in to the point instructions. You feel that safety is the first priority so you can be chill and have more fun.
Joelyn_C, Apr 2024
Yahya was our instructor and he was absolutely great. Super friendly and made sure we were okay every step of the way. When we were out in the sea, Yahya kept an eye on both of us, he was really encouraging during every single attempt as well. We both managed to stand on the board in our first lesson! We went for the 4pm-6pm slot. Highly recommend to go in the evening as you can catch the sunset and head for a nice dinner nearby. Thanks Yahya!
Britta_K, Apr 2024
We were taking our very first surfing lesson and it was perfect! Yahya was super professional and humble at the same time. We felt really safe and got answers to all of our questions. Yahya didn't rush anything and we made all the steps in the tempo we needed. We will defininetly go back for another session and recomend it to all of our friends as well! :) Thank you!
Amber_L, Mar 2024
Yahya is an amazing coach , very precise and constructive instruction . Can see improvement on my skill in the end of the class
Jessica_A, Mar 2024
So much fun!! Yahya was a great instructor and I would definitely recommend! They took some great pictures too!
Martin_M, Mar 2024
We booked a 2 hour surfing lesson as my birthday present and having never done it before were complete novices! As it was just the two of us, we had 121 tuition from the guys, who were enthusiastic, professional and most of all patient!
They spend time on the beach getting you used to moving on the board, but most of the time is in the water. They guarantee to get you standing and we managed that in the time we had, which was plenty.
A great experience and would definitely recommend Magic Waves to anyone in this area who wants to experience surfing for the first time.
Carolyn_J, Mar 2024
We loved our experience with Yahya and Ray! They made sure we felt comfortable and always made sure we were having a good time by giving us tips to better perform. I would definitely recommend booking with them for a great lesson!
Maud_P, Feb 2024
This was an amazing Bali experience! Yahya was really chill and a very good instructor. Overall the vibe was relaxed. And it was all about having fun, while learning. Definitely recommend!
Paige_M, Feb 2024
