As much as there can be said to be a 'Balinese style' amongst surfers, then Darmaputra Tonjo has it. A lack of corporeal heft keeps the rails high and spray low, but speed and agility, plus the odd spot of physical expression, makes for a distinctive style. Shouldn't forget about the innate barrel sense either; every great Balinese surfer has it.

Here Darmaputra Tonjo puts it all on display around his home island, plus a few waves from across the Bali Strait.

So fast and zippy in the small stuff.
