“Send it with other shortboard shredders at world-class waveS”

This retreat is for: Shortboard surfers who are up for the challenge to send it in critical waves. Open to intermediate/advanced surfers only with shortboards under 7ft. This is an all gender retreat.

So you’ve never been barreled before? Or maybe you have, but you have no idea how it happened or how to make it happen again. How do you learn how to get tubed? Go to a place where hollow waves are plentiful, team up with a crew of other supportive surfers to cheer you on, and seek advice from people who know what they’re doing and can help point out what you’re doing wrong or how to do it better! We’re here to make that happen and we are super excited about it!

The waves

We’ll be focusing our attention on a hollow beach break that was listed in SURFER Magazine as one of the best spots in the world to learn to get tubed. There is a long beach with more larger, more powerful waves on one end and slightly smaller less hollow waves on the other. We can find the best peak for the crew. If the waves aren’t great there, we’ll also be checking out other spots in the area for some variety or a change of pace. There’s an island left hander, a river mouth, a mellower more playful beach break, and a left reef break all located within a short boat ride or drive. Lots of options!

Our goal will be to help you develop the skills needed to get your first tube ride. We’ll be getting up early and paddling out at sunrise, then coming in for breakfast, and paddling out again! If the tide and wind are good, we’ll surf four or five hours per day. This retreat is about surfing our brains out!
