Personalized surf lessons in the heart of Uluwatu, guided by a local instructor. Fun, safe, and tuned to the day's best conditions for your level.
"For me, surfing is about being present, building confidence, and connecting more deeply with the ocean and yourself."
Tobali Surf is a small, local surf school in Uluwatu. I offer personalized lessons in a safe, supportive, and fun environment, for beginners building their first wave, intermediates finding flow, or advanced surfers refining performance.
I bring a calm, focused, and positive energy to every session, teaching with patience and a focus on safety. With strong local knowledge, I choose the best spot each day based on your level and the conditions, so you can feel comfortable, progress naturally, and build a real connection with the ocean.
Whether you've never touched a board or you're already chasing your next manoeuvre, I'll meet you where you are and help you build from there.

I took about ten lessons with Toba and progressed so much. He's patient, joyful, kind, and always gives great advice. Such a great memory. I really hope to surf with you again, Toba!
I had an incredible surfing experience with Toba in Bali. The lessons were tailored to my skill level, and he was not only knowledgeable but super encouraging. The waves and beautiful scenery made it unforgettable.
Bali was a great place to learn to surf. The warm water, gentle waves, and Toba made everything feel welcoming. I went from barely standing on a board to catching small waves by the end of the week.
I arrived in Bali wanting to step up from white water to proper green waves, and Toba got me there. He reads the conditions like a book, picked the right spot for my level each day, and never pushed me past what I was ready for. Came home riding cleaner lines and feeling far more confident in the lineup.
Our 5-year-old came back from every session grinning and exhausted in the best way. Toba has a real gift with kids, patient and playful, and made him feel completely safe in the water. He's already asking when we're going back.
Came to Uluwatu wanting lineup access and real technique feedback, not pop-up drills. Toba delivered both, sharp eye for conditions, deep local knowledge, and notes that actually moved the needle. Walked away with cleaner turns and three new favourite waves.
