Meet your surf guide

I’ve been teaching people to surf for 7 years. From total beginners to longboarders working on noserides, I love helping others build confidence, improve their technique, and experience the stoke of catching a wave.

When you book a lesson with me, you'll meet a local friend who knows the lineup, the tides, and the unspoken rules. I’ll show you the best spots to paddle out for your level, how to read the waves, and how to surf respectfully in this tight-knit lineup.

Whether it’s your first time standing up or you’re chasing your first hang five, I’ll be right there in the water with you, cheering you on, giving you tips, and making sure you’re safe and smiling.

Let’s surf together, Batukaras style

Hi, I’m Ucup. I grew up here in Batukaras (or, BK as we call it), where the waves roll in smooth and steady, perfect for longboarding, learning, and just having fun in the water.

Why I love Batukaras

This place is special. The wave here is mellow but long, consistent but never boring. The village is peaceful, the people are friendly, and the lineup is full of familiar faces. It's the kind of place where you surf all morning, eat nasi goreng by the beach, and come back for sunset glass-offs.

If you're looking for a surf spot that feels like home (even if it's your first time here) you’ll find it in Batukaras.
