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.

Santiago also speaks English, Spanish and Indonesian.
