I started my path as a Surfing Coach in 2009 in Bali.
Since 2006 I have been working as a fitness trainer with clients of all ages and different physical abilities.
My fitness and surfing background helped me to develop a customized unique training program that improves both - surfing skills, and the physical performance of my clients. Studying for years and practicing deeply Eastern approaches to mental health through such disciplines as yoga, taichi, and qigong I see a big value in including them in my surfing retreats to improve humans' mental and cognitive capabilities and to increase overall longevity.
My expertise:
Studied pedagogy and psychology at the University.
Certified Personal Fitness trainer since 2006
Certified surf coach Level 1 & 2 ISA (International Surfing Association ) since 2010
Certified as an instructor in health practices of Qigong and Tai Chi in 2018
Practitioner and adept in various systems of Yoga and Buddhism
Since 2017 I have been conducting camps and retreats in which surf training is supported by mind, body, and health-improving practices along with a powerful connection with Nature.

I'm originally from Nias, from the island of Sumatra, where surfers from all over the world go in pursuit of world-class waves. My family lives in the bay where one of the best waves on the island is located. Surfing is in our blood!
When I first started surfing, I was a little scared. However, I loved surfing and kept at it until I gained confidence. For me, surfing is the best combination of confidence and fun! What could be better?!
With me in the ocean you will always be in a good position, feel confident, catch lots of waves and have a lot of fun! Your safety is my priority.

I was born and raised in Australia and have been living in Bali for 11 years now. I have been surfing for over 45 years. I am a surf technique coach.My goal is to help people do less to achieve more in the ocean by using their body correctly. Surfing can be simplified to a series of familiar biomechanical moves that most people already perform on land, it's just that in the ocean we sometimes overcomplicate things. Let's learn surfing and have fun riding waves.
I believe the most important thing is to pay attention to detail. This applies not only to your surfing technique, but also to your moods, behavior and speech. I use all of this information to create a formula that will help to improve your surfing, and encourage you to find your own style. On training and retreats with me you will feel that surfing can be easy and fun!
