MEET THE FAMILY

After completing her studies in Movement Science (M. Sc.), Emma worked as a personal trainer in Amsterdam. She enjoyed her job and she was happy, but she could not shake the feeling that something in her life was missing.

Although there wasn't anything wrong with her life, she knew she wasn’t in the right place. While most people spend a lifetime dreaming but never pursuing, Emma chased after her dreams.

She left the city life to move to Bali and opened Pelan Pelan Bali, a surf and yoga retreat, to share her love and passion.

He rode his first waves when he was 12 years old. At the time, surfing wasn’t a prevalent sport like it is today. The few boys in Putu’s village that wanted to learn to surf had to take turns sharing one surfboard.

Oftentimes, after hours of patiently waiting for your turn, the waves had already passed. However, it didn’t dim Putu’s burning passion for the sport. His love for surfing kept growing until he became a talented, professional surfer.

At 23 years, he officially became an ISA certified surf instructor, lifesaver and a head coach at a surf camp in Bali.
