Intermediate Surf Lessons in Medewi, Bali
Ready to go beyond the basics? Private 1:1 or 1:2 coaching that builds real confidence in green waves and sharpens your positioning, technique and turns.
Your next level, done properly
Take your surfing to the next level
This is where you build real confidence out the back. We focus on positioning, timing and wave selection, then start shaping cleaner turns, with hands-on coaching and instant feedback that adds control, flow and consistency to every wave.
For surfers who can already pop up and ride whitewater and want to move onto green, unbroken waves, or who surf green waves but want to surf them better.
The plan
What you’ll work on
Paddling for waves
The right paddling technique to catch your own waves.
Board control & speed
Controlling the board, your first turns and generating speed.
Duck dive & turtle roll
Turtle roll and duck dive techniques to get out back.
Green waves
Surfing green, unbroken waves with confidence.
Step by step
How your session works
Theory & warm-up
We start on the beach with a short theory briefing and warm-up, so you know exactly what to work on before you paddle out.
Positioning in the line-up
Out the back, we dial in your positioning: where to sit, how to read the sets and when to paddle, so you are on the best waves of the day.
Riding green waves
Wave by wave, your coach helps you with angled take-offs, trimming down the line and your first bottom turns, until riding the open face feels natural.
Debrief
Back on the beach we talk through your session and what to focus on next. With video analysis, we watch your waves back together so you see exactly what to adjust.
Watch & get stoked

Happy surfers
Progress, in their own words
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.

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.

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!

FAQ
Is this the right level for me?
If you can pop up and ride whitewater, and want to move on to green waves, or you’re already on green waves and want to surf them better, yes, this is for you. Not sure? Send us a short video or describe your last session on WhatsApp and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you offer video analysis?
Yes, with Surf Coaching with Video Analysis: we film your session and review it together afterwards. At this stage it’s one of the fastest ways to improve, because you finally see what your body is actually doing on the wave rather than what it feels like.
Which waves will we surf?
Mainly Medewi’s point break, with the exact section chosen to match your level and the day’s conditions. On some days Sumbul’s beach break or the nearby right-hander are the better call. We always pick the wave that helps you most.
Is the point safe for me?
Yes. Daffa knows every current, rock and section of the point and will only put you where it’s right for your level. We time the tide, choose the entry together and stay close in the water. Safety always comes first.
Is it 1:1 or a group?
Private 1:1 or 1:2 only, never a group. Your coach watches every wave you take, which is exactly what makes the feedback so effective at this stage.
What should I bring?
Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen. We can provide a board and rash guard if you need them.
How long is a session?
Around two hours in the water, plus a short check-in before and, if you booked video analysis, a video review after. Enough time to try things, adjust and nail them, without running out of arms.
