Whats the best thing about Coaching? The best thing for me is meeting new people and introducing them to, and/or aiding their development in the lifestyle which has given me the best times of my life.
Whats the best thing about coaching in Indonesia? Indonesia has always been my favourite destination. The waves are so consistently amazing and there is something for everyone. Indonesia is the best place in the world to come if you want to improve your bodyboarding no matter what stage you are at with your riding.
