Salty Magic in Portugal
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Portuguese coastline, explore new waves and
spend a whole week focused on your surfing.
2027 Dates
05 - 12 June
Early Bird pricing available until 31 October 2026
But meaningful, lasting progression happens when someone takes the time to understand you
Your goals.
Your fears.
Your strengths.
The way you learn.
​
That's why our retreats are intentionally small and our coaching deeply personalised.
​
We combine technical surf coaching with mindset and nervous system support, helping you work through self-doubt, stay with yourself when things feel challenging and build confidence that comes home with you.
​
Because no two surfers are the same, so why should their coaching be?
​
Every part of this week has been thoughtfully designed to help you leave with more than better surfing.
More confidence. More clarity. More trust in yourself - in and out of the water.
This isn't just a surf retreat
Beautiful accommodation. Daily surfing. Some yoga. Incredible food.
​
Yes... you'll find all of those here too.
​
But if you've ever joined a surf lesson and felt like just another person in the group, you'll know that's not enough.
Surfing every day absolutely helps. It's one of the reasons retreats are such an incredible way to progress.
And then, of course, there are the waves.
Playful beach breaks, different waves for different conditions and different stages of your surfing.
​
We'll work with what the ocean gives us each day, choosing the conditions that best support our group and what we're working on.
​
Whether you're building confidence catching green waves, learning to feel more comfortable out the back or refining your technique, the Algarve gives us an incredible playground to learn, experiment and progress.
Why Portugal?
​It's been a dream of mine to run a retreat in Europe, the part of the world I grew up in. And Portugal has
always been at the top of my list!
​
Now it's finally happening!
​
The Algarve will be our home for the week. Think beautiful, raw coastline, dramatic cliffs, white-sand beaches, crystal-clear water and little towns full of history and charm.
Soulful Surf Method
The Soulful Surf Method is the coaching approach that guides every part of this retreat.
​
I created it to make your learning experience as personal as possible.
​
My role isn't to squeeze you into a system.
It's to understand you first.
Then, coach you in a way that helps you progress.
That's how meaningful, lasting progression happens.
​
Everything we do throughout the retreat is guided by these five principles:
Feel Seen
Every woman arrives with a different story, different strengths, different fears and different goals. I take the time to understand where you are now, where you'd love to be, and what will help you get there - so your coaching is completely tailored to you.
Know What Matters
Instead of overwhelming you with everything at once, we'll focus on the next step that's going to make the biggest difference to your surfing.
Turn Every Session Into Learning
The best surfers aren't the ones who never make mistakes. They're the ones who know how to learn from every surf. Through video analysis, reflection and personalised feedback, you'll leave every session knowing exactly what to celebrate and what to work on next.
Stay With Yourself
Surfing isn't just about technique. It's about learning to work with fear, frustration and self-doubt, so you can stay present, trust your decisions and enjoy the process.
Keep Progressing Long After the Retreat
My goal isn't just to help you surf better during our week together.
It's to give you the clarity, confidence and tools to keep progressing long after you've gone home.
A Week to Immerse Yourself in Surfing
New waves, new coastline, new experiences and a whole week to explore what's possible in your surfing.
​
A week to learn, experiment, celebrate your wins and enjoy every moment of being in the ocean.
​
We'll surf once a day, choosing the best conditions for our group, with personalised coaching to help you get the most out of every session.
​
And in the afternoons, we'll have time to dive a little deeper. Video analysis, surf-specific workshops, conversations about what's happening in the water and what you can focus on next.
Because sometimes the biggest breakthroughs happen when you step out of the water and finally understand what's been holding you back.
​
​And of course, there'll be time to rest, explore the beautiful Portuguese coastline, enjoy good food and share plenty of laughs with women who love surfing just as much as you do.
The Women You'll Share It With
There's something pretty special about bringing together a small group of women from different parts of the world, who all share one thing in common.
​
A love for surfing.
​
Women who understand the excitement of catching that one wave. Who celebrate your wins, encourage you through the challenging moments and are just as happy to spend an entire dinner talking about surfing.
​
It's one of my favourite parts of hosting retreats.
​
Watching a group of women arrive as strangers and leave with new friendships, shared memories and plans to surf together again.
​
And I'll be right there with you throughout the week, coaching, supporting, cheering you on and making sure you get the most out of every session.
