Bali Stand Up Paddle School

The owner Jankie and his team are helpful, knowledgeable, and have a good selection of SUP and Foil SUP for every level. Make sure you contact via WhatsApp ahead of time, since usually there is nobody present at the rental spot. Bring your own leash and reef booties if you are renting! Reef booties are strongly recommended especially if you are a beginner SUP surfer.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Sanur Paddle Club, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! If you're looking to take your padel game to the next level, this is the place to be. Their three outdoor courts are each unique and boast a gorgeous tropical ambiance that will transport you to paradise.

Not only are the courts world-class, but the coaches at Sanur Paddle Club are truly top-notch. I attended their beginner's clinic, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The coaches were friendly, nice, and incredibly helpful. They took the time to explain the basics of paddle and gave us plenty of tips to improve our game. It was clear that they were passionate about the sport and genuinely cared about helping us succeed.

Overall, I would highly recommend Sanur Paddle Club to anyone looking for a fun and competitive padel experience. With their beautiful courts and expert coaches, you're sure to have a great time and take your skills to the next level. Five stars all around!

SUP teacher was nice, equipment seemed to have seen better days. Maybe a little bit expensive (400k per lesson 1,5h).

I did not have a great experience with this company but I am giving 4 stars because they handled the situation well, but it was not what I expected. I emailed and What’s App’d Jankie in advance and he was very responsive and answered all my questions really well. I paid the 150,000 IDR deposit in advance and he instructed and set my date.

I signed up for an intermediate SUP surfing lesson. I explained to Jankie over email about my experience etc. I live in Hawaii and have been surfing for 10 years. I decided to travel to Sanur specifically because of this lesson as SUP surfing is not common and it seemed like a great company. I wanted a lesson because I wanted help to improve my surfing.

I arrived to the meeting place and a few minutes later a guy showed up. He did not introduce himself. I had to ask him his name and if he was the instructor. He said he was, that his name was Stop and that Jankie was in Italy.

His English was really poor and he wasn’t particularly friendly. I was the only person in the lesson, which I do appreciate them doing the lesson with just me as they usually have a 2 person minimum.

He gave me a few tips but he was very difficult to understand. He also could not answer any questions I had because he couldn’t understand me. Even a simple question like “what is the tide doing”? He would also catch the first wave of each set which is bad manners in my opinion. I was paying for a lesson and how is he supposed to give me tips if he catches a wave before me.

When we got back he said he would only charge for the board rental because “I could already surf” he said “most people who sign up for an intermediate lesson have only been surfing one time. ” I thought to myself “that is why I signed up for an intermediate lesson! ”

Because he only charged me for the board rental I am still giving 4 stars but the experience was not what I was expecting. They do have great equipment and the break is nice and forgiving so excellent for beginners. Although it is VERY shallow which took getting used to for me. There is a good 1 k paddle to get to it so I would really consider the boat shuttle option next time.

I know this review is really long but I hope I might save someone the heart ache I experienced. I would recommend this company for beginners though.

Best way to end up my last day in Bali!
