Where does a kids lesson run?
In white water at a sandy beach, not on a reef. Justin picks the beach on the day from the conditions, around the Bukit Peninsula, South Bali, and confirms the meeting point with you on WhatsApp beforehand.
Kids surf lessons in Bali
Justin Buu’lolo teaches children in white water at a sandy beach, and stays in the water with them for the whole session. One child, or two children together — no big group, no queue for a turn.
In the water, the whole time
Justin is next to your child for the full session, positioning them and pushing them into waves. He is not on the beach watching a group of eight.
Sand under their feet
Kids sessions run in white water at a sandy beach — no reef, no rocks, and waves picked for a child rather than for the forecast.
At their pace
Lying down, then knees, then standing. A child who is not ready to be pushed is not pushed, which is the difference between one lesson and a lifetime of surfing.
Two formats
One child, or two together
Siblings and friends often do better together — one of them tries something and the other decides they can too. Both formats include the board, zinc and a long-sleeve surf shirt.
01One child

Kids learn at their own pace and lose interest the moment they stop feeling safe. Justin stays in the water with your child, pushes them into waves they can actually ride, and builds up from lying down to standing without rushing it. Parents are welcome on the beach.

For parents
The questions parents ask first
Straight answers. Where Falaga has never published a policy, this page says so rather than guessing.
Is Justin in the water with them?
Yes, for the whole session. He pushes them into waves they can handle rather than sending them out to work it out, which is what keeps a nervous child in the water long enough to enjoy it.
What if my child has never surfed?
That is the normal starting point. It begins with lying down and riding a wave in, then getting to the knees, then standing — at whatever pace the child is comfortable with.
Can I watch from the beach?
Yes. Parents usually watch from the sand. If your child is happier with you nearby in the shallows, say so when you book.
What should they bring?
A board, zinc and a long-sleeve surf shirt are provided — the shirt matters here, because it keeps the sun and the board rash off. Bring swimwear, a towel and something to drink.
How young is too young?
Falaga has not published a minimum age. Message Justin with your child’s age and swimming confidence and he will tell you honestly whether a session makes sense yet.
Questions
Kids lessons & booking
Can children take surf lessons?
Yes. There is a private kids lesson for one child (Rp 700,000, 2 hours) and a semi-private kids lesson for two children (Rp 550,000 per person, 2 hours). Kids sessions run in white water at a sandy beach with Justin in the water alongside them.
What is included in a surf lesson?
Every coached session includes soft-top board rental, zinc sunscreen, long-sleeve surf shirt. Bring swimwear, a towel and something to drink.
Where will we surf?
Sessions run around the Bukit Peninsula, South Bali, near spots such as Uluwatu, Balangan, Dreamland. Falaga has no fixed storefront or single beach — Justin picks the spot and the time from the conditions on the day and the level of the surfer, which is exactly why the lessons work for beginners and improving surfers alike. He confirms the meeting point with you over WhatsApp before the session.
How long is a surf lesson?
Two hours, every coached format. Justin takes the session himself from start to finish.
How do I book a session?
Message Justin on WhatsApp at +62 812-6348-4472. Tell him your dates, how many of you there are and roughly how much you have surfed, and he will come back with what works. Email at buulolojustin@gmail.com also reaches him, but WhatsApp is faster. There is no online booking system and no deposit page — you arrange the session with Justin directly.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations made after 8 PM on the day before your lesson are charged 50% of the lesson price. Damage to a rental surfboard is not covered by the rental price. If a board is broken it is the renter’s responsibility, and the rental shop will charge for the repair.
Tell Justin about your child
Age, how confident they are in the water, and when you are in Bali. He will tell you which session fits and what is free.
