About Us

Hi, I’m Sofyan from West Bali. My home village is close to Medewi, where we have the longest lefthander wave in Bali. Now, I live in Canggu, always with the ocean right in front of my house. My parents taught me everything about the beach and sea, studying the ocean by counting the moons. I started surfing at the age of six and discovered my passion for it. I love being in the water and surfing as much as I can. At 16, I became a surf guide, sharing my passion with others. Since then, I’ve worked as a freelance surf guide and at various surf camps, offering surf lessons in Bali.

Meget dyktig instruktør, utrolig hyggelig og imøtekommende, hadde en skikkelig bra surfeopplevelse. Anbefales om man skal prøve å surfe for første gang men også om man har surfet en del fra før av. Kjenner til mange ulike og gode steder å surfe på. Very good instructor, had a great surf experience. Elisabeth Johansen2023-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sofyan is the best surf coach in Bali! He makes you feel comfortable in the water and he pushes you towards your limit so you always learn something new no matter what level you are at. He speaks good English and is the funniest person to surf with 🫶🏼😁🌴 Sarah-Anne Grill2023-01-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

He is very good at explaining how you should behave in the water, and he’s good at making you feel comfortable in the water. Even for a beginner it feels easy and it’s so fun!! Best surf teacher in Bali!! <3 Kate and Wendy2022-12-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve known Sofyan (The Waveout) since early in my surf journey and he is now my go-to surf guide and surf and surfskate coach when I am in Bali. From the beginning I have felt safe in the water with him by my side; he puts your safety as a top priority. On my latest trip, now as an intermediate surfer, he was able to provide tailored and focused coaching points to help me progress my skills. All this while bringing only good vibes and fun times. He can also help organise trips to breaks outside of Canggu (his base). I would not hesitate to recommend Sofyan if you are looking for someone to help you navigate the various breaks and help you to progress your surfing or skating. Julien Verdier2022-12-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very nice session with Sofyan, he provided nice tips to enjoy Uluwatu waves and correct my surf stance. He adapts very well to your skills level from beginner to expert. Safety briefing, advices, debriefing all is adapted and easy to catch. Perfect training! Al Mansyur2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best surfcoach ever, been watching this guy teaching so professionalee👌🏼 highly recommended! Kaye DING2022-11-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sofyan is the one who taught me how to surf from zero. He is experienced and highly capable in surfing himself as long as teaching others. I gain my confidence and felt safe in the water with him in short time. He’s really good at reading the waves so I had so much fun with him surfing! He’s also very reliable and always double confirm my sessions with him and waiting me at the beach before the session starts! I would definitely go back to Canggu and I’d love to have him as my surfing coach again!
