Your Coach
Born in the water, raised by waves
My name is Hoza Saputra. I grew up in Gerupuk — a small fishing village on the south coast of Lombok — where surfing is not a sport, it’s a way of life. I’ve spent my entire life on these waters, and I know every break, every current, and every wave.
I believe surfing is for everyone. Whether you’ve never touched a board or you’re stuck on your intermediate plateau, I can help you feel what it’s like to truly connect with the ocean. I don’t teach by a script — I teach by listening, watching, and responding to what you need.
I want to share my knowledge. Not just the mechanics of surfing, but the curiosity and joy of learning something that constantly surprises you.
