We tried a UP2U surf as we last tried one of the companies located on the beach last time we went surfing in Bali (Jan 2024). Communication was good via whatsapp, had to pay in advance which was different to previously but also fine for me. We went to an actual building as opposed to meeting the vendor on the beach. Lockers were provided to keep your stuff in, although you leave your key there and hope it stays safe (ours was). The owner who handles all of the bookings is there and allocates instructors etc. We don’t have a lot of experience as it was only our 2nd time surfing but generally the teachers are the same no matter where you go on the beach I have noticed. My particular teacher was quite hands-off, since I am a beginner was expecting more guidance throughout but never came. My kids instructors were excellent however, friendly and engaging and ensured their safety throughout. At the end some pictures and a few videos were shared with us (google link was sent to us) which was a nice touch and great memorabilia. Was expecting to have to pay for them but it was included in the price. There was a low tide due to the full moon which made it difficult to surf, so we restricted it to one day only, when we did it previously we did it three times as the conditions were better but that is no fault of this company! They offer a basic group shower facility at the back of the shop, which is good to rinse off the sand before heading home.
Overall would certainly recommend this company.
