FAQs
About the crew
Are all your coaches certified?
Every single one. ISA (International Surfing Association) certified, plus surf rescue, CPR, and first aid. But honestly? The real qualification is growing up surfing these breaks. Certificates are nice, local knowledge is priceless.
How long have your coaches been surfing?
Most started before they could properly walk. Typical Bali story – dad surfs, older brother surfs, you surf. Our coaches have 15-20+ years in these waters. The 7 years coaching experience? That's just the professional part.
Do coaches surf with different levels?
Our senior coaches work with all levels, but they each have their specialties. Some are wizards with beginners, others love pushing advanced surfers. We match coaches to groups based on what you need, not random rotation.
Can I request a specific coach?
If you vibe with someone, let us know. Can't always guarantee it (schedules, group arrangements), but we try. Most guests end up loving whoever they get – our whole crew's solid. No duds in this lineup.
Do coaches speak English well?
Fluently. They deal with guests from everywhere, explain technique clearly, and crack jokes that actually land. Plus they'll teach you essential Indonesian phrases like "satu lagi" (one more wave) and "bagus" (good job).
What makes your coaches different?
They're here because they want to be, not because they need a job. They surf before work, after work, on days off. They remember your name, your goals, and celebrate your victories like they're their own. It's not an act – they genuinely care about your progression.
