Meet the Jiwa Surf team
The heart of Jiwa Surf
Monot created Jiwa Surf in 2021 after many years of coaching for established surf schools and camps in Bali, combined with his background in competitive surfing. During COVID in 2019, when the whole world came to a stop, Monot resigned from his position as head coach and team manager at one of Bukit’s biggest surf camps. During those uncertain times, he didn’t feel worry or fear as long as he was by the ocean, he felt free.
Spending his time between surfing and spearfishing, the demand for his incredible coaching style didn’t stop. Even when Bali’s borders were technically closed, surfers from different countries reached out to Monot to be trained by him and his amazing partner, Andre.
Monot’s passion for coaching and sharing his love for surfing only kept growing. Driven by that fire, he built a strong team of coaches who all share the same values — and with that, Jiwa Surf was born.
Surf coaching in Bali
Based in the Bukit, the heart of Bali’s surf culture, Jiwa Surf is surrounded by quality waves for all skill levels, from beginner-friendly breaks to advanced spots. With consistent swell, warm water, and a strong local surf community, it’s the perfect place to build confidence and make real progress.
