Jimbaran BayBaliEst. 2019
Private surf coaching, one wave at a time. Just you, your coach, and an empty line-up at first light.
Book a sessionEverything happens before the wave. Where you sit, how you breathe, how long you are willing to wait. We start with the horizon, not the board.
One movement. Never two. We drill it on wet sand until your body stops asking your brain for permission.
Then the part nobody can hand you — the second the board goes quiet, the rail bites, and the wave starts doing the work for you.
You always do.
— Programs
All sessions include board, leash, rash guard and reef-safe wax. Photos and video from every session, sent the same day.
2 hours · Beginner
You have never stood on a board. By the end of the morning, you will have — on white water at Jimbaran, on your feet, on purpose.
5 sessions · 2 weeks
The real one. Five mornings spaced across two weeks so your body keeps what it learned.
3 hours · Intermediate
You can stand. You cannot pick waves. Three hours on positioning, priority and paddle timing.
2 hours · All levels
Meet at 5:40. Glassy water, nobody out, the sky doing the thing it does.
— The coach
Dede grew up two hundred metres from the sand at Jimbaran. He has coached that bay every morning for seven years, and he can tell you what it will do an hour before it does it.
He coaches one person at a time — no groups, no queues, no waiting your turn for a wave. Sessions are built around your level and the tide, not a timetable.
— From the water
“I had six group lessons somewhere else and still could not stand up. Dede fixed it in one morning — turns out I was popping up two feet too far back the whole time.”
“He barely talks in the water. He points, you go, and the wave is always there. Ten days later I understood why he was not talking.”
“The video review is brutal in the best way. I watched myself stall the same way eleven times, and then I stopped doing it.”
— Book
Send this and I will come back within a day with a tide-matched time. If the forecast is wrong for your level, I will say so and move you.
