Surf instructor, Moana Surf Canggu
Mika caught his first wave at 20 and has been hooked ever since. He went on to train for more than two years at Mondo Surf School, learning from experienced instructors, before he began teaching others. That was over ten years ago.
Since then he has helped surfers of every level, from nervous first-timers to riders working on their turns. His lessons are patient, safe and full of good energy, because for Mika surfing is about living fully in the moment, in the water and out of it.
When he's not in the water, you'll usually find him on the sand with his guitar, watching the sun go down.
Coaching on the sand, cheering from the whitewater and celebrating every first wave.
Surfer, photographer and surf instructor
Gov caught his first wave at 15 and has been chasing good surf ever since. Along the way he picked up a camera too, so he sees the ocean as both a surfer and a photographer.
He has been teaching for seven years and brings the same energy to every lesson, whether you're standing up for the first time or working on your next move. Expect high fives, plenty of laughs and a fun, upbeat vibe in the water. With fluent English, German and Bahasa Indonesia, nothing gets lost in translation.
Out of the water you'll probably hear him singing, and whenever he can, he's off travelling the world.

New to surfing? This page is for you. Here are the six simple moves every beginner learns, shown with moving pictures. Watch each one, then try it with our instructors on the beach.
Lie in the middle of the board with your nose just off the front. Keep your chest up, legs together and paddle with long, deep strokes, one arm after the other.
Look over your shoulder. When the wave lifts the tail of your board, paddle three or four fast strokes. When you feel the board slide down the face, you are riding.
One smooth move in four beats: hands flat by your ribs, push your chest up, bring your back foot under you, then the front foot between your hands. Stand up and keep your eyes forward.
Feet a little wider than your shoulders, front foot angled forward, back foot across the board. Knees bent, back straight, arms out for balance and eyes on where you are going.
Look in the direction you want to go, then lean your shoulders and hips that way and press with your toes or heels. The board follows your eyes.
Falling is part of surfing. Fall flat to the side, away from your board, and keep your arms over your head when you come up. Never dive in head first.
Lie on your board on the beach and do the pop up ten times, slowly and then fast. Your feet should land in the same place every time. It makes your first wave in the water much easier.
