A space for those who want to grow in the waves consciously and systematically, while still keeping the joy of movement and being by the ocean. Daily surf sessions are complemented by an individual approach, technical analysis, mobility, and recovery to help you take your surfing to the next level.
Between Sets is a retreat away from tourist zones, where the days naturally follow the rhythm of the ocean, the conditions, and life by the water. It’s designed for those who want to progress in surfing with intention, while also enjoying the process, rest, and ocean lifestyle.
Each day includes surf sessions adapted to the current conditions and the level of the group. You’ll receive individual feedback, technical tips, and video analysis, complemented by mobility and recovery sessions. The goal is not just to catch more waves, but to better understand your body and feel more confident and free in the water.
Between surf sessions, there’s space to slow down—sunsets, shared dinners, BBQs, home-cooked meals, exploring surf spots, and experiencing the local culture. We’ll visit a farm, taste authentic food, and experience life outside of tourist areas, within a community connected by the ocean.
For those interested, there’s an option to join a trip or hike to Ijen. The program is flexible—you can choose between surfing, resting, or exploring.
This retreat is suitable for both men and women who want to improve their technique, and experience empty line ups and authentic ocean living.
