CARVES
Welcome to the Carves Mini Course!
Here, you’ll learn how to perform one of the most powerful manoeuvres in surfing. Unlike a cutback, which redirects you back to the wave’s power, a carve is all about driving through the turn with speed and force.
We’ll break down both frontside and backside carves, and you’ll train on land, with and without your surfskate, to truly understand the feeling of it.
It’s all about weight distribution, rail engagement, and timing. And like everything in surfing, improvement comes with practice. The more you train, the stronger, smoother, and more connected your carves will feel.

Hi, Welcome back!
Posted on Jin LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m truly grateful to Mako for his kind and precise advice. His guidance instantly helped me fix the issue of being dragged by inertia after a snap, and I finally learned how to pivot smoothly! That moment of success was pure joy — I couldn’t stop smiling. After six months of surfskating, I’ve often referred to Mako’s professional videos to fine-tune my skills. Getting the chance to learn directly from him this time was such an inspiring and unforgettable experience. 🙏🔥Posted on Nastassia HaikevichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took surfskate lessons with Mako, and he explained everything so clearly and simply — even a child could understand. It was very comfortable to train with him. Too bad he left Bali, he was the best surfskate coach.Posted on Сергей МузалевTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Level up of your surfing game is Inevitable.

The best and most professional surfskate coach in Bali! He corrected my mistakes and pointed out things that others never noticed, which really improved my surfing. I hope he comes back to Bali one day so we can train together again😁Posted on Maria LogvinovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
