Have just the guy..Meydi on Kuta , OPP.Harris Resort, up past Popppies 2 towards Jl Melasti.
Mama Rosa is the sarong lady there and very good friend as are all the group on that patch..have just told him you may be in touch..he is texting later his number. I will post it as soon as....if he is busy, Wayan same group, is excellent and taught a 12 yo friend of mine to stand up in one day...They may ask 300,000 for two hours plus he then lets you have the board rest of the day to practice. This is under $40 I think..anyway negotiate..Honestly, it depends on how busy they are or what bookings...they will take less for board rental, but most are about the same.
Please dont try and screw them down too much..as sometimes when I am there off season...they may not get anybody all day...surf schools are expensive..you go in a group, get to borrow flash colourful rashie and other bits...but the guys on the beach are just as good and love to make friends.
Just tell him that Mama Anna mentioned him and please make sure you meet Mama Rosa...the funniest lady I have ever met...she even had me taking care of business and selling sarongs from her table while she wandered the beach...(and I made 400k for her!!)
