Hi, I’m Chandra. I’m originally from Sumatra in Indonesia but I moved to Bali in 2009 and started working on the beach with my uncle, who is a surf instructor. I quickly learned how to surf and he taught me how to be a surf instructor too.

In 2011 I opened my own surf school in Legian offering surf lessons, surfboard rental, and beach sunbeds. My brother Johnny started working with me, and later one of my cousins joined us as well.

I had to close my business in 2020 because of the pandemic, but I started making videos around Bali so people could see what the situation was like. So, you may also know me as Uncle Chan!

In 2023 I was able to re-open my surfing and sunbeds business along with a new bar, Uncle Chan’s Beach Bar.

I love my job, I’m proud of my business and I enjoy making friends with new customers every day, so I hope you will come and visit us when you’re on holiday in Bali.

What makes our Legian surf school different?

Our personal service

We’re not a big company, but that means we can offer a friendly and personal service to every customer. If you book a surf lesson with us, we promise it will be just you and your instructor (not a big group of people you don’t know).

We believe that this kind of personal attention is the best way to help you learn to surf and improve quickly. For groups of 4 or more, you’ll get 2 instructors for your lesson.

Even if you don’t want to surf, you’ll have fun hanging out with our team and making some new friends in Bali.
