About Surfing Canggu
Our Story: From a Passion for Waves to Bali’s Premier Surf Experience
Surfing Canggu was born from a simple, yet profound, love for the ocean and the unique spirit of Bali. Founded by local surf legend Wayan Sudarma, our journey began on the very breaks we now share with our guests—Echo Beach, Batu Bolong, Berawa, and Old Man’s. Wayan, having spent over two decades mastering these waves and competing on the Indonesian circuit, envisioned a surf school that went beyond the typical lesson. He wanted to create an experience that was authentic, luxurious, and deeply respectful of the island’s culture and environment.
In partnership with Juara Holding Group, a parent company renowned for its commitment to excellence in Indonesian luxury tourism, that vision became a reality. This partnership allows us to combine unparalleled local expertise with world-class operational standards, ensuring every aspect of your time with us is seamless, safe, and unforgettable. We are not just a surf school; we are curators of a complete Canggu experience, dedicated to sharing the art of surfing with precision, passion, and a profound respect for our home.
Our Mission: Unlocking Your Potential, Preserving Our Paradise
Our mission is twofold: to provide the most effective, safe, and personalized surf coaching in Bali, and to do so in a way that positively impacts our local community and protects the pristine natural environment that makes Canggu so special. We believe in the transformative power of surfing—its ability to build confidence, foster a connection with nature, and create lasting memories. We are committed to upholding the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana: harmony among people, harmony with nature, and harmony with God. This principle guides every decision we make, from our hiring practices to our environmental initiatives.
