For the committed surfer
For you, surfing isn’t about chasing sunshine abroad – it’s about loving the UK coast, pulling on a wetsuit, and getting stuck in whatever the forecast throws your way. A surf trip doesn’t need palm trees to be valuable; it needs good waves, proper coaching, and time in the water.
You want to make real progress, fast – without committing to a full week away. Two solid days of focused surf coaching? Perfect. You’re keen to surf beach breaks in Cornwall, Croyde – Devon or Wales, with coaches who watch every wave, break it down, and give you clear, practical feedback you can actually use at your home break.
You enjoy geeking out on the technical stuff, fine-tuning your paddling, positioning and wave selection and you don’t mind a wetsuit if it means better surfing. These weekends are ideal if you’re UK-based, not into flying, or just want high-quality coaching in the most beautiful places in the UK. And if you love it? You can always step it up to our week-long Cornwall retreat.
Two days. Maximum water time. Tangible progress. No passport required.
For the wellness & adventure surfer
You live for new experiences, unforgettable moments, and waves that make your heart race. Surfing isn’t just a hobby – it’s a way to feel connected, confident, and fully alive. From riding perfect waves to exploring lush jungles, diving under waterfalls, and horse riding along sun-kissed beaches, every day is an adventure.
When you’re not in the water, you’re flowing through yoga sessions, savouring amazing superfoods, or joining in on sunsets that turn into dancing under the stars – all the on-trend vibes you love.
If that sounds like your kind of trip, our Costa Rica Surf & Yoga Retreat is ready for you. You’ll leave feeling stronger, inspired, and buzzing with energy, with memories of waves, wellness, adventure, and pure fun that will stick with you long after your board is packed away.
For the chilled vibes surfer
Mellow waves, chilled vibes and palm-fringed beaches are the ingredients for your dream surf holiday – with an emphasis on the holiday part. You like your surf trips as stress-free as possible, with everything taken care of. You dream of swimming with sea turtles, sipping sundowners and dancing with the locals, without a worry in the world. You want to be able to roll out of bed and into the surf, then plop yourself on a sunlounger feeling totally blissed out. If you also like your surf trips with a reggae beat, come to Barbados with us! With beachfront accommodation and a local team to show you a good time, you’ll come home feeling like a sun-kissed surf goddess, smiling from ear to ear.
For the barefoot surfer
Waves are high on your agenda, but a surf trip for you is just as much about adventure, culture, and a little indulgence. One day you might be snorkelling with tropical fish, the next wandering through rice terraces and temples. Faraway islands, perfect peeling waves, and manta rays below – a little adventure gets you there, but once you arrive, it’s all about kicking off your shoes, leaving your phone behind, and switching off.
No boot camps or rigid schedules – go at your own pace, maybe a light hike or skate, or spend the day in a hammock listening to the waves. Bougie breakfasts, a swim in the infinity pool, and sunset vibes complete the picture. If slow island life, tropical waves, and adventure call your name, our Bali Island Retreat will fulfil your tropical surfing fantasies.
For the cheap and cheerful surfer
Cheap and cheerful is your travel motto. You’re not fussed about extravagant adventures, you just want an easy trip with guaranteed waves, sunshine and good times. You love the European vibe of pretty cobbled streets lined with cool cafés, sangria-fuelled sunsets and fresh seafood dinners. When it comes to food, you like to have the option of catering for yourself whilst also being close to great restaurants. Morning sea dips and post-surf stretch sessions are a must, and a little retail therapy wouldn’t go amiss either. If cheap beer, fun nights out and tasty tapas are ticking your boxes, join us on our Portugal trip!
For the solitude-seeking surfer
When you go on a surf trip, you’re not bothered about five-star luxury, bougie cafés or buzzing nightlife. Bells and whistles don’t mean a thing if you have to hustle for a wave in the lineup. You’re prepared to take the road less travelled to surf empty breaks and escape the tourist traps, seeking out authentic travel experiences. You love to learn the language, try the food and soak up the local culture to get a real feel for the place. Your dream wave is a long peeling point break, with no one else around but you and a few friends. Our Secret Morocco trip promises all of this and more – including 40-second-long magic carpet rides!
