it was maybe about a year or 2 ago that our teenage son had surf lessons.I checked the archives here a lot at the time but in the end picked up a brochure when we got there.he had his lesson at The Bali Intan hotel,it's on the beach road before you get to Melasti St.Sorry but I honestly can't remember the price.I was very impressed because they start everyone off in the large hotel swimming pool until they get a bit of confidence & learn how to handle the board.They run through lots of safety points & talk to everyone at length before they even get into the pool with the board.
The class was a mixture of men & women of various ages & my son was the only teenager that day.Transport from your hotel was included in the price as well as a nice drink on the beach & at the end a drink & a piece of cake .They were very careful watching everyone very closely once they got in the water.My husband & myself just sat on the beach & watched him & took some photos.
I vaguely remember someone talking about the Hard Rock also doing lessons but I can remember they were a lot more expensive.I also recollect that someone mentioned a local on the beach also gave lessons & that they were happy with his service.Maybe check the archives & you'll see a bit more.I'm sure your son will love where ever he goes.Don't forget sunblock though.
