Che’ first started surfing in his mom’s belly, was catching his own waves by age six, and shredding by eight—it’s all been downhill from there! He’s been teaching since 2008, when he landed a sweet gig in Raglan, New Zealand, showing Euro backpackers how to surf. Since then, he’s taught in Maui, Bali, and up and down the California coast.

With family ties in Indonesia and years of experience in places like Canggu and Kuta, Che’ has shared waves all over the world—but he’s called Club Ed home since 2017. For him, teaching here has been the most rewarding job yet. He loves watching students catch their first wave, gain confidence, and return to continue their surf journey.

“We really should have a warning label—it can be pretty addictive.”
Hope to see ya out there! 🤙🏾
