You don’t need to worry about bringing surf gear. I´ve got you covered. I provide surfboards, leashes, rashguards, and water for your lesson. All you need to bring is your swimwear, a towel and it’s a good idea to have sunscreen on hand. The sun can be pretty intense, especially with its reflection off the water. So sunscreen is a smart choice to protect your skin while enjoying the waves.
Absolutely! I teach surfers of all levels, from complete beginners to intermediates. Having worked extensively with beginners throughout my career, I know how to ensure your safety and provide a solid theoretical foundation before we hit the waves. I’ll be right by your side as you catch your very first wave.
A surf lesson with me and my team is designed for an amazing experience from start to finish. I’ll pick you up if needed and start with a theory intro for beginners, covering surfboard basics, standing up, and catching waves. Then, we hit the water together! I’ll guide you every step, helping you catch your first waves and celebrate the moments. Breaks are welcome, and you’ll stay refreshed with complimentary water. Afterward, I’ll ensure you’re safely back at your accommodation, smiling from ear to ear..
I began my journey with surfing at a very young age. Once I had mastered surfing at a professional level, I started teaching occasionally in my hometown of Jasri. Later, I relocated to Sanur, where I spent several years working as a surf instructor in a surf camp. Then I made the move to Canggu, where I worked as a surf instructor at the renowned The Chillhouse Canggu. After gaining valuable experience, I decided to become a freelance surf instructor, a role I wholeheartedly embrace to this day.
What sets me apart is my ability to turn every surf lesson into a journey of growth and self-discovery. With 15 years of experience, a certified lifeguard background, and fluent English, I ensure you feel safe and supported as you unlock your true potential. My goal is not just to teach you surfing but to help you evolve, step by step, into a confident and capable surfer who embraces the thrill of the waves.
