Meet Ucup: The Coach Behind the Waves

For the past 7 years, I’ve been helping surfers find their flow in the water. My time coaching in Bali taught me more than just how to guide people onto waves—it taught me the value of professionalism, constructive feedback, and the importance of breaking down the why behind every movement.

Here in Batukaras, I bring that same technical approach to every session. Whether it’s bending your knees, paddling at the right angle, or shifting your weight for better balance, I’ll not only tell you what to do—I’ll help you understand why it matters.

This isn’t just about catching waves. It’s about becoming a better surfer, building confidence, and shifting your mindset so you leave the water feeling stoked and ready for more.

As USurf has grown, I’ve worked closely with my team of local guides to ensure they bring the same level of coaching and analysis to every session. They’ve been trained to teach with the same customer-first approach I believe in—clear, constructive, and always tailored to your level.

When you surf with us, you’re not just getting pushed into waves. You’re learning how to read the ocean, improve your technique, and build the skills that will stick with you long after your trip to BK.

Now let’s go catch some waves, yew 🤙

Hi, I’m Ucup. I grew up surfing here in Batukaras—BK if you’re in the know. It’s one of the most user-friendly waves in Indonesia, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy.

The lineup has its own rhythm, and if you don’t know where to sit, when to paddle, or how to read the tide shifts, it’s easy to miss waves or get stuck on the sidelines.

That’s where I come in.

Why we 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.
