About Us
Where the Ocean Meets the Soul
MaiwaySurf is a Bali-based surf coach built on the belief that great surfing comes from the balance of skill, safety, and soul. We offer personalized surf lessons and coaching for all levels — from absolute beginners taking their first steps into the ocean to advanced surfers looking to refine technique or explore Bali’s world-class waves with a trusted local guide.​ Our teaching approach blends professional, patient coaching with authentic local knowledge and a deep respect for the ocean and Balinese surf culture. Every session is adapted to the individual surfer, focusing on confidence, progression, and creating meaningful experiences in the water.​ MaiwaySurf is led by, Putu, a local Balinese surf coach with over 15 years of coaching experience and ASI certification. Fluent in both English and Bahasa Indonesia, we create a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment for surfers from all over the world. Every session is shaped by experience and local knowledge, with the understanding that surfing is more than standing on a board — it’s a personal journey larger surf schools can’t replicate.​ Whether your goal is to catch your first wave, improve performance, or simply surf Bali in a more connected and authentic way, MaiwaySurf is here to guide the journey — where surf meets soul.
We Are Excited to Meet You
MaiwaySurf is led by a local Balinese surf coach and built around a small, dedicated team of local surf coaches who share the same passion for the ocean, teaching, and authentic surf culture. We work closely together to create a safe, supportive, and motivating environment for every surfer, no matter their level. When you surf with MaiwaySurf, you’re not just booking a lesson — you’re surfing with people who truly care about your journey in the water.
