Got lucky to find Santiago, very nice guy and very good teacher. I got to enjoy standing up several times on the board on my first session thanks to his advices, which is a huge...
Santiago’s been teaching people how to surf for over 15 years — long before Bali ever showed up on his radar.
Originally from Argentina and Uruguay, he first came to Indonesia in 2017 chasing waves... and never really left. A couple years later, he met his wife Olyya on the shores of Sumatra, and Bali became home.
He’s coached total beginners, improvers, and seasoned surfers across different continents — but his approach is always the same: keep it clear, keep it relaxed, and get you standing on that board feeling stoked.
Santiago also speaks English, Spanish and Indonesian.
