Meet Adi
Hi, I’m Adi. With over 20 years of surfing experience and more than a decade as a professional surf instructor in Bali, I specialize in personalized surf coaching that adapts to your skill level — whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine advanced techniques.
​
I’ve surfed and taught at Bali’s world-class surf spots, from Batu Bolong to Uluwatu, and know exactly where to take you based on tides, swells, and your goals. As a Life Saving Surf Rescue certified coach, I prioritize your safety in the water, so you can focus on improving your skills with confidence.

Meet Karo
Hi, I'm Karo. I’ve spent over 10 years coaching in some of Bali’s largest and most popular surf camps, working with surfers from beginner to advanced levels and from all over the world. This experience has given me a deep understanding of different learning styles, effective communication skills, and the ability to quickly adapt each lesson to what you need most.
Now, I’m back at my home break — Kedungu — focusing on private surf coaching in one of Bali’s most scenic and friendly wave spots. Whether you’re learning your first pop-up or polishing advanced maneuvers, I’ll guide you with a personalized approach that combines local knowledge, proven techniques, and a genuine passion for helping you progress.

What Our Students Say
"BIG recommandation. Adi is an exceptional surf teacher.
I was a complete beginner and had never set foot on a surfboard. Already on day 1, we went from some "dry" basics at the beach, to me being able to catch my first few waves in the open ocean. Through consistent practice together, over the coming 3 days, I gradually improved and at the end was able to have a solid feeling for my board, the waves, and my balance on the board. I felt really confident at the end.
Adi knows a lot and is able to teach that well to his students. He really cares about you understanding the local surf conditions of each beach (we surfed at 3 different spots).
He is enthusiastic and I had great fun during my time with him. Next time in Bali, I will definitely get back to surfing with him.."
