About Nawir
From Medewi to Canggu — surfing as a lifelong practice
My name is Nawir. I have been surfing for over 18 years.
I grew up on the west coast of Bali, in a quiet surf village called Medewi.
As a child, I often went fishing with my father. While waiting on the shore, I watched older boys surf and dreamed of one day riding waves like them.
When a friend finally gave me my first surfboard, everything changed. From the first wave I caught, I knew surfing would be part of my life forever.
In 2014, I opened my own surf school in Canggu. Today, I’m grateful to share not just surfing, but understanding, confidence, and respect for the ocean.
My Coaching Philosophy
I work personally with beginners and intermediate surfers who want to truly understand surfing — not just stand up once.
Every session is adapted to your level, pace, and energy, with calm guidance in the water and structured feedback throughout the session.
What defines my coaching:
✔ Private-focused coaching (1-on-1 or very small groups)
✔ Real-time feedback on timing, paddling, take-off, and positioning
✔ Strong focus on safety, wave choice, and progression
✔ Calm, structured approach — no rushing, no pushing
