NARA SURF

surf photography · uluwatu, bali
the wave you never got to watch.
keep your wavesee the work
the one idea

I give the wave back.
the feeling, not the file. surfing is the only thing you do that you never get to watch yourself do.

the work

water · land · drone

the story

shot by a surfer.

my name's arik — founder of nara surf, a surf photographer and coach based in uluwatu, bali.

about three years ago I was just a free surfer who loved the ocean. the first time someone handed me water shots of myself, it felt like pure magic. that feeling is what I give back now.

water, land and drone — all around bali, and on the boat through sumatra, mentawai and lombok.

whether I'm behind the lens or coaching in the water, the goal's simple: help you enjoy great waves and keep them.
