Our Community's Thoughts

We Also Offer In-Person Coaching

Nicaragua Surf Retreat

Join us in March 2023 for our surf retreat at the beautiful Mandla Resort in El Transito, Nicaragua! El Transito is considered one of the most consistent surf spots in the world due to the predominant offshore winds (250+ days/year).

The month features four weeks of retreats, with options for both beginner and intermediate surfers, and will focus on achieving individual goals in a group setting. We guarantee your surfing will progress through our guided surf sessions, video reviews, and surf theory classes.

Stay Consistent With Our Online Coaching

Jordy

I've been surfing since 2007 and surf instructing since 2013. I have a degree in sports management & coaching science and I co-own a surf camp in Indonesia. My goal is to break surfing down to its base layers to help you set a foundation for your progression.

Kimberly

I didn't find surfing until later in life - I was 24 to be exact. At the same time, I was starting my career as a corporate attorney. I now work remotely and surf everyday. My goal is to inspire you to pursue your dreams, no matter how unlikely they seem.
