Please leave your name and comment, we’d love to hear about your experience.
Ketut is the BEST!!! such a great and warm person, and if you havent learned how to surf after a lesson with him, you should probably stop trying cause there are no better instructors out there.
Hi Ketut, thanks for teaching me how to turn. I’ve been thought many times but you finally made me understood how (and why) I should do it. And also made me graduate from soft top to hard boardI thought I would take the whole day falling but it only took…3 waves? 4?
One thing I’m really thankful is that we switched place on the 1st day, as you thought the condition on the 1st beach wasn’t that good. It really made a big difference and you made my day!
I’d recommend Ketut to anyone who wants to improve their surfing!

Great guy who REALLY teach you how to surf, highly recommended.
Hi Ketut, it was a splendid and awesome experince we had today. And we do really appreciate your kind heart for showing us around and eventually spending the whole day as our tour guide..Definitely u come highly recommended on our list!!!…Till we come back again
So I just got back from Bali and we had Ketut and Rama to coach us for our first surfing session. They were very patient and provided the required assistance in any way they can. Ketut made it very clear that he doesn’t wanna spoon-feed us and help us all the time and we were glad that he didn’t! We managed to get on our boards on the first try and towards the end I managed to catch 3 waves on my own (Rama made sure it was a perfect one before letting me off!)! They corrected us from time to time and gave us tips on how to control the board better. Their company and jokes added to the plus points! In short, they made our Bali trip so memorable and fun! Thank you!
Great stuff Ketut. I shall be back! MotoGP Sepang ya!
Good morning Ketut ! You’r the man!!
Your lessons and company are unforgettable.
Just AMAZING. Thanks mate!
See you soon!
Hey Ketut, really enjoyed your lessons and benefitted from the 1 on 1 rather than in a group.
Hope to see you again if we come back to Bali.
We are two people who took three semi-private (2:1 ratio) surf lessons with Ketut. He is really a great surf instructor! He explains very well the basics and give you the advices you need when you get better. Step by step, we were able to stand on the board will surfing on the wave, catch the wave by ourselves, make turns, always getting better. I recommend Silver Surf Bali and Ketut to learn surfing! That was a very good experience!
My brother-in-law and I had the pleasure of surfing with Ketut this past Summer. He is an absolute joy and was very easy to learn from. Ketut is a hands-on instructor, so he throws you in the deep very early and that to me is the best way to learn. Next time I’m in Bali I’ll definitely look up Ketut once more. He has my warmest recommendation.
Ketut is an amazing instructor. He is very patient and kind. Ketut specializes in safety, which seemed rare in Bali, and fun. Even though I struggled to get up he remained patient. He will pick you up at your hotel or arrange a good place to meet you. He’ll attempt to take you to uncrowded beaches and to areas that are best suited for you. Like previous students I also highly recommend Silver Surf Bali to anyone wanting to improve or learn how to surf. Cheers Ketut thanks again for your fantastic instructions. ^^
I am a 19 year old Aussie female. I had two lessons with Ketut in July. I had a previous lesson with another surf school when I was in Bali last year. I found Ketut to be a far better teacher than the other school I had used. Within 10 minutes of our first lesson I was able to catch a wave by myself and was standing up on the board. I found his instruction so helpful and encouraging. He is very patient and a gifted teacher. I would highly recommend Silver Surf Bali to anyone wanting to learn to surf.
Ketut was an absolute pleasure to surf with. He met us at our hotel the day before our 1st session so that he could gauge our experience and requirements.
My wife was a nervous beginner, uncomfortable with breaking waves and being out of her depth. Yet, by then end of her lesson, Ketut had her surfing and starting to make controlled turns.
I am an advanced beginner / early intermediate surfer who wanted to improve my surfing and also have some guidance around the Bali surf breaks. Ketut was full of knowledge and advice to help me and in the 4 sessions with him, I was taken to the day’s most suitable break in order to develop my skills.
If you’re looking for a 1:1 private lesson or for a personnel surf guide then Ketut should be top of your list.
Terima kasih Ketut and hope to see you again soon for more surf adventures!
My daughter 12yrs & a fiends daughter 10yrs had a great day being taught to surf by Ketut. The patients you have teaching people is great. We will see you again next visit to Bali to do it all over again. Now my daughter wants to do surfing here home in Australia.
Thanks Ketut & will always recommend you to friends who want to learn to surf in Bali..

Ketut helped us a lot during our surfing on Bali, first buying boards, then picking spots and of cause getting much better surfing. Every time we needed advice or help we just called and Ketut helped us out.
Thank you very much, Ketut.
Your friends from Denmark
Surfing with Ketut was good fun! He took good time learning you and was very patient. Great guy to hang out with! If you wanna surf, Ketut is the man that hooks you up!
Ketut is a good teacher! after tree days with lessons i was surfing like a pro
I was in bali for 2 weeks and some friends of mine told me about Ketut. It was so cool surfing with him, me and my 2 friends was surfing after one hour! He was a very good teacher, much better than the surfingschools, Ketut becomes your guide around town, and your friend! He helped us with everything we needed, and picked us up every day and took us to different beaches. Great fun learning how to surf with Ketut! Thank U Ketut!!!!!
I surf for about 10 years now. But when I came to Bali, I wanted to discover safety all the magic reef breaks around the Bukit peninsula. Ketut was the perfect advisor and showed me all the main breaks from Serangan (east coast) to Balangan (west coast). Thanks to him, I had so many great sessions in particular in Nusa Dua and Uluwatu! Above all, he’s so cool that he became a friend I hope to see again when I’ll come back in Bali! I definitely recommand him for all levels of surfing. Thank you again mate, you rock!
I signed up with Ketut because of a friend’s recommendation. I found Ketut to be an excellent surf instructor. It was my first time surfing and I thoroughly enjoyed all lessons and felt comfortable in the water. He was always patient and full of encouragement. I certainly did not imagine having that much fun learning to surf!!! If I am ever back in Bali, I will definitely go back for more lessons with him! Thank you Ketut for a memorable first time surfing experience!!!
In a few words…Ketut is LEGENDARY!
I could not have asked for a better teacher to teach me surfing for the first time! 
Ketut’s is such a patient person and lives and breathes his life in and around surfing which makes me feel safe knowing that he was the one teaching me and guiding me throughout the lesson. Ketut’s classes are also private so that he can focus his attention on teaching you, which is ANOTHER bonus! He also makes sure that the lesson in worth the while so he will look out for the weather and surf conditions before he takes you out to go surfing with him. I would DEFINITELY recommend Ketut to anyone who is a first timer (even those who are still new or need a refresh course) because he will focus all of his attention on you to make sure you are doing the right thing….I managed to get on my board after the 4th try!! =D Can’t wait to go back out on the waves with you again, Ketut! It was heaps of fun surfing, chatting and chilling with you!
ketut is the best surf teacher ive had so far! has so much patience and adjusts to your level. i felt comfortable out in the surf with ketut!
thankyou and ill see you when i come bak to bali!
I can strongly recomend to go surfing with Ketut! We were there in December 2010 and had a great time. Ketut is very serious and a good teacher, and he knows where there are good waves and no crowd. He is also a great guy to hang around with. This is by far on of the best surfguide experiences we have had. Can’t wait to come back again!
Go surfing with Ketut!!! We were in Bali about a year and a half ago and were cruising the beach looking for surfing lessons. We originally booked with one of the big companies, but then met Ketut from the guest house we were staying at. Man I’m so glad we did! Ketut is a super cool guy and really knows how to surf. Not only did he teach us how to surf from scratch, but we had a really good time just hanging out. So much so that we still keep in touch. The small group lessons are def the way to go if you want to really enjoy your time. I felt so bad looking at the big groups with one or two instructors when we were getting private lessons. Surf with Ketut and you won’t be disappointed!
I highly recomend Ketut to any1 that is interested in learning to surf! he is very patient, supportive and friendly to be around. Had soo much funn learning to surf with ketut he is an awsome guy
thanx again ketut nd cant wait to come back to bali for some more surfing!!
Hi Ketut! I had the best time learning how to surf last time I was in Bali – you’re an amazing teacher. Everybody who comes to Bali should have a few hours in the water with you, it was so much fun! I’ll see you next time for more surfing – it’s totally addictive
