A Little Note…
Mother Nature always has the final say.
Our schedule may move around depending on the surf, tides and weather conditions. We’ll still do everything we’ve planned, we might just swap the order of activities to make the most of the conditions.
A little flexibility always makes for the best adventures. 
We can’t wait to share another unforgettable weekend with you.

Who is this retreat for ?
This retreat is for women who are beyond the beginner stage and are ready to push their surfing further.
You’re comfortable in the whitewash and confident handling your board. You can paddle out, pop up on your own, and manage yourself safely in the lineup, even if you’re still catching mostly unbroken waves or just starting to navigate green waves.
You’re hungry to improve, ready for real coaching, and excited to be part of a supportive, inspiring group of women who are on the same path.
Whether you’re “beginner-plus” or already surfing independently, you’ll leave this retreat with new skills, new friends, and a deeper connection to your surf journey.
Les Landes offers playful peaks, golden beaches, and a laid-back surf culture, the perfect setting to progress, reset, and soak up the good life.
