For all the shoulder queens who tend to stay on the safe side of the wave — and are ready to change that.
This retreat is designed for women who want to build more confidence, courage, and trust in themselves in the water. For those who feel it’s time to stop holding back, stop comparing themselves, and start believing in themselves more. No pressure, no performance. Step by step, at your own pace.
Surf sessions focus on progression, technique, and building confidence in the water. You can expect an individual approach, practical tips, video analysis, feedback, and space to try new things in a safe and supportive environment. Between surf sessions, there will also be guided yoga classes focused on mobility, strength, balance, and a deeper connection with your body.
A big part of the retreat is the girl crew. Shared mornings, sunsets, long conversations after surfing, home-cooked meals, BBQs, rest, laughter — and those moments when we remind each other that we don’t have to be perfect to go for a wave.
The retreat takes place away from tourist areas, in an authentic part of Java, where the days follow the rhythm of the ocean and the local way of life. Alongside surfing, there will be space to explore local culture, taste traditional food, visit a farm, discover new surf spots, and simply disconnect from the busy pace of everyday life.
For those who want to experience more of Java, there will be an option for a trip or hike to Ijen. The program is flexible — you can choose between more surfing, rest, time for yourself, or adventure.
The goal isn’t perfection, but the moment you realize you’re no longer waiting on the shoulder — you’re going for your own wave.
