Since 2014, I've been passionate about surfing. I've surfed in Bali, Portugal, and South Africa. In 2018, I moved to South Africa and lived there for 2 years. Initially, I worked in a non-profit, charitable program where we taught surfing to local children from underprivileged areas. I also trained volunteers in surfing for the program. Later, I worked with young people, organizing and leading surf tours across South Africa and Mozambique.

Engaged in surfing since 2012, took my first steps in surfing in Bali. I've been coaching for over 9 years. Completed lifeguard courses with the Russian Emergencies Ministry (MCHS). Participated in Russian and international competitions, including the WSL longboard selection tour.

First tried surfing in St. Petersburg in 2016 and instantly fell in love, actively seeking opportunities to surf more. In 2018, completed a surfing training course and began working in Sri Lanka. Acquired an internationally recognized certificate in 2019. After Sri Lanka, I started working at a school in Kamchatka. I also had the opportunity to work as a coach in the Maldives.

I'm constantly evolving, refining teaching methods to professionally grow and enhance the achievements of my students!

Surfing, for me, is freedom to be oneself, to be alone with one's thoughts, and an endless source of energy and excitement.

I started surfing in Bali back in 2009 and made a life-changing decision to relocate to the island in 2011. Became actively involved in surfing and coaching thereafter. Over my extensive experience, I've instructed over 3500 individuals. Founded schools in both Bali and Sri Lanka. For the past five years, I've been actively coaching intermediate and shortboard surfers on neighboring islands during surf trips.

I've surfed across Indonesia: Bali, G-land, Sumbawa, Sumba, Mentawai, and Sumatra. Explored the Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Portugal. I've also experienced surfing in Russia: Kaliningrad, Sochi, and Kamchatka. Certified as a lifeguard and possess an ISA surfing coaching certification.

During my free time, I engage with coaches from different countries, continuously honing my skills and knowledge. Surfing is the most fascinating developmental process, one without a finish line. As geographic boundaries expand, so do the opportunities!

Surfing has been my love for 2.5 years now. Our acquaintance took place in Kamchatka in 2021.

Like many, I envisioned surfing in warm waters, wearing a swimsuit, but fate led me to the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean. The art of catching waves captivated me, and I made a vow to stay close to the ocean until I learned to skillfully ride a wave. After 1.5 years of living near the cold Pacific Ocean and working as an administrator at a camp, I ventured to Sri Lanka to continue honing my surfing skills and administrative work at a surf camp.

After six months in Sri Lanka, I traveled to Bali and joined "Surfmakers," where every team member is as passionate about surfing as I am. It brings me immense joy to share my love with students and witness the happiness on the faces of those experiencing this wonderful activity for the first time. Working as an administrator in the surfing industry is a flow of positivity, strong emotions, and at the same time, a sense of tranquility.

Experiencing surfing for the first time in the cold Pacific Ocean in Kamchatka in 2020, I immediately realized that life was now divided into 'before' and 'after'!

I worked as a teacher in a school, and for two consecutive summer seasons, I spent my time on the shores of the Pacific Ocean at a surf camp, where I became an equipment rental manager and content manager! My love for surfing and the surf culture captured me so much that I couldn't return to general education and decided to switch to a surf school in Bali, where I transitioned from a teacher to an administrator.

As an administrator, I am inspired by the opportunity to be involved in the unique experiences of those trying surfing for the first time: witnessing their bright emotions, sharing their impressions, and providing support if they encounter difficulties on their journey into the world of surfing!
