This retreat was designed for women surfers who don't want to choose between surfing better, feeling confident in the ocean, and taking care of themselves.
Here, everything is connected. We created a unique concept gathering surf coaching, yoga and women' health.
Surf sessions are supported by:
- Structured surf coaching
- Video analysis
- Surf-specific yoga & mobility
- Women's health & body awareness workshops
The goal is to progress with more confidence, clarity and ease.
You will surf every day, across different surf spots and conditions, guided by Marina’s experience as a professional surfer and coach.
Throughout the week, you’ll learn how to read the ocean, understand conditions and adapt your surfing — building real confidence beyond your comfort zone.
Intermediate surfers will have all their surf sessions filmed, followed by detailed video analysis to refine technique, positioning and decision-making in the lineup.
Beginner surfers will follow dedicated surf lessons with coaching, focusing on fundamentals, confidence and autonomy in the water.
The week includes:
- Guided surf sessions led by Marina
- Ocean and forecast reading
- Coaching adapted to your level
- Exposure to different wave types and conditions
Surfing is not only physical — it also involves the nervous system, energy and recovery.
Throughout the week, Mary, naturopath and women’s health coach, will guide you through:
- Surf-specific yoga to improve mobility, balance and recovery
- Women’s health education to understand hormones, energy, cycle and stress
- Body awareness & nervous system regulation to reduce fatigue, fear and tension
