For the past 4 years, we’ve been creating unforgettable surf retreats in New Zealand, France and Bali, and every single one has been pure magic. These retreats are about more than just surfing; they’re about discovery, connection, and sharing experiences that stay with you forever.

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 complete beginner stage and ready to progress.
You should be comfortable managing your own board, paddling out, popping up independently and looking after yourself in the water.
You might still be catching mostly unbroken waves, or you may already be confidently surfing green waves and want to take your surfing further.
Most importantly, you’re curious, motivated and open to learning.
You want proper coaching and you also want to surf with women who are excited to encourage each other, share waves, celebrate progress and have a bloody good time along the way.
