Surf Coaching · Medewi, West Bali
Become the surfer you keep meaning to be.
Surf coaching in Medewi and surf trips across Indonesia, from your first green wave to your next breakthrough.
Selamat datang · Welcome to DISINI
More waves. Faster progress. Less guesswork.
Disini means simply: here. Warm water, glassy morning sessions, and a crew that feels like family by day three. On Bali’s quiet west coast, this is the version of surfing you came here for, far from the crowds of Kuta and Canggu.
We sit right next to Medewi: Bali’s longest left, with a main break that rolls through three sections suited to every level, longboard or shortboard. Add fun beach breaks and quiet spots we pick based on the day’s conditions, and there’s always a forgiving wave to match your progress.
We prefer one-on-one private coaching so every wave is about you. Sometimes 1:2, but never a crowded group. Whether you’re standing up for the first time or chasing sharper turns, every session is backed by video analysis and theory so the progress actually sticks.

Surf Progress
The right wave, every session
Medewi Point, Sumbul beachbreak, and the hidden spots nearby: we read the swell, the tide, and your level to put you on the right wave.
Hey, I’m Daffa
Your Surf Coach at Disini, Medewi
I grew up in Yeh Sumbul, right next to the ocean. I’ve been surfing since I was 10 and competing since I was 15, always for the love of it. I’m equally at home on a shortboard, a twin fin or a longboard, and I’ve spent years coaching at a well-known surf camp before starting Disini.
My home break is Sumbul Beach, where I learnt to read barrels before I knew what they were called. And if you ask me what my favourite wave in the world is, it’s the long left at Medewi Point. That’s the wave I want to share with you.
Every session I’ll keep it simple and personal: first getting to know you and a theory check so I know what you’re working on, then we paddle out and focus on the one or two things that’ll make the biggest difference to your surfing. No information overload. Just real, visible progress. I work with all levels, from your very first wave to advanced turns and competition prep. And yes, I’m great with kids too.

Your Perfect Day in Medewi
The day starts on the beach, coffee in hand, watching the sets roll in while the fishing village wakes up around you. We check the conditions together (swell, wind, tide) and find the best break for your level.
Medewi’s point break is at its cleanest in the morning: light offshore wind, long left-handers, barely a soul in the water. You paddle out when it’s right for you. This is how every day should start.
Around midday we slow it all the way down. Fresh-off-the-boat fish grilled at a beachfront warung minutes from the house: honest Balinese food from people we’ve known for years.
Think nasi campur, smoothie bowls and ice-cold coconuts while the surf keeps peeling out front. Or swing in a hammock and let the afternoon come to you.
Afternoons move at your pace. We sit down together and go through your video analysis: see exactly what’s working, what to fix, and what to focus on next. When the tide’s right, we paddle back out.
West Bali rewards the curious too: a clifftop sea temple, jungle rivers, hidden waterfalls, or rice paddies a few minutes away. Or just do nothing. This part of Bali was made for it.
Sunset over the rice fields is mandatory. Some evenings it’s a community BBQ in the garden, others it’s billiards, cold Bintangs and stories about the wave you almost made.
For dinner we’ll point you to our favourite local spots, or the whole crew orders in together and shares a long table of good food, good people, and that quiet tired-happy feeling only a real day in Medewi gives you.

辻由美子
They were very kind. They supported me kindly as a beginner, they told me what to do for each ride. Thank you for a wonderful three-day stay in Medewi.
Jeremy Poullain
We surfed with Daffa, Blakey, Evan and Danang – all four are very experienced surfers and give you great support. The coaches were brilliant both for me as an intermediate surfer and for my girlfriend as a complete beginner.

Disini is absolutely one of the best surf camps I’ve ever been to! I spent more than two weeks here and had such an amazing time. Daffa’s coaching helped me improve my surfing so much. His analysis is amazing, and he really takes such great care of his students — always paying attention, giving helpful feedback, and making sure everyone feels supported and comfortable in the water.
I also joined the surf trip to Java, which was perfectly organized from start to finish. It was such a wonderful experience, with amazing waves, beautiful places, and great memories. You can really tell how much thought and care Daffa and his team put into making sure everyone has an incredible time, both in and out of the water.
I had an amazing time with the group as well. The atmosphere, the people, and the overall vibe were just incredible. Definitely the best vibe around Medewi.
Isabella
I had such a great experience surfing with Daffa and his friends. They did an amazing job and really adapted the session to my level and needs. I felt very safe, comfortable, and well looked after the whole time.
The video analysis afterwards was especially helpful, because I got even more detailed tips on how to improve my surfing and technique.
Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. I can highly recommend Daffa and his team to anyone looking for a great surf coach!
Magda
Surfing with Daffa and the guys was always so fun! Everything felt really relaxed and they were always super helpful and supportive. We also did video analysis and could really see ourselves improving.
It was also great being able to try different surfboards and progress a little more each day. Such a great surf experience!
Jennifer Schoof
Whilst I was spending a few days in Medewi, I had a surfing lesson with Daffa and I’m really very happy with it. He took plenty of time for me and looked carefully at which board would suit me best. He picked me up from the hotel and took me back there afterwards. It was brilliant that there was a video analysis, which he used to explain to me exactly – in a fresh and funny way – what I still needed to improve on. Thank you so much for this brilliant experience!
Jack Hoffmann
Daffa was awesome. I had 2 great lessons with him. I was standing up and surfing whitewash within 30 minutes, and progressed to surfing small waves the next day.
He handled all the board hire and organised the best times to surf, and even came and picked me up and dropped me back to my accommodation for free, which was very generous!
Lovely guy and very helpful. I hope our paths cross again, brother!

Disini is absolutely one of the best surf camps I have ever been to. I spent 2 weeks here, Daffa’s coaching helped me improve a lot of my surfing, his analysis is sooo good! Amazing time with the group here, best vibe in Medewi! See you next time!

I really enjoyed the surf coaching! Compared to other places in Bali, the quality here is excellent. The coaches take their time with each student and really focus on helping you progress. I can really recommend it if you are in the Medewi area and looking for surf coaching.
Nadine
I had several hours of surf coaching and I could not have wished for a better start. Daffa was attentive and encouraging, and at the same time he kept me relaxed. I felt completely safe, even though I had a lot of respect for the waves at first. He explained everything clearly and showed me step by step in the water what I could improve. After a single session I already felt much better on the board, and above all I had a lot of fun. I will definitely be back. A 100% recommendation for anyone who wants to learn to surf.

Surf trips are so perfectly organized! Beautiful time with everyone and a lot of surf videos after. Also Daffa is helping me a lot to improve!
Yogini
I had such a great experience with the Disini Surfhouse! The coach is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about surfing. What makes this special is not only the professional guidance but also the inspiring vision behind it. I can’t wait to come back and surf with you guys again.
Elin Zahner
The surf coaching was amazing! I would highly recommend it to anyone coming to Medewi!
Zarina Caley
I did a girls surf trip to Java with these guys. I cannot fault them. Everything was organised and professional and we got epic waves. I have also done a 1:1 coaching session with Daffa when I felt a little intimidated by the wave size. Daffa always had me in the right position and made sure I felt safe and happy, and gave me the confidence to go on waves I would usually pull back on. I literally got the best waves that day.
Markus Materla
Excellent surf lessons! Very professional, motivating and easy to follow. They take a lot of time to make sure you understand everything. Highly recommend.
Re Si

FAQ
Everything you need to know before paddling out.
What’s included in my lesson?
Every lesson starts with a short theory session, followed by around two hours of surfing in the water. We include spot guiding, your surfboard and reef-safe sunscreen for your face. And if you need a ride, we’re happy to pick you up too.
Is the video coaching included in the lesson?
No, video coaching is an additional charge. You can add it to any lesson to review your surfing from the outside and get detailed feedback on what to work on next.
Can I book multiple lessons with a package?
Of course! In fact, we recommend it. The more you surf, the faster you progress. We offer a discount when you book multiple lessons, so you get more time in the water for less.
Where do we meet for the lesson?
It depends on the spot we choose for your level and the conditions on the day, so we’ll confirm the exact meeting point with you beforehand. And don’t worry about logistics. We’re always happy to pick you up.
Can I change my dates?
Absolutely. If your plans change, just send us a message on WhatsApp and we’ll rearrange your dates. No problem at all.
What should I bring?
Honestly, just good vibes and an open mind! We’ll take care of all the surf gear, so all you need to bring is your stoke and a willingness to learn.
How does the video coaching work?
Video coaching is available as an optional add-on for a small extra charge. We film your sessions and analyse your surfing in detail, carefully breaking down each wave to help you progress as fast as possible. Best of all, you get to keep all your videos as memories to look back on.
