IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
This is for you if..
You're into surfing, can jump onto 'island time' and enjoy a few pool-side drinks, good food and cultural touch points. You're after more than a holiday. You want to move your body, clear your head and be around women who just get it. You don't mind an early morning if the payoff is a fun wave and a really good coffee. You're a beginner or intermediate surfer — The south coast of Sri Lanka has some fun, mellow reef breaks. Oh and for MUM's - this is YOUR week to switch off.
Probably not for you if...
You're an experienced surfer chasing big waves (book the charter boat in the Ments love!) - you only prefer the 'western' way of life or a strict schedule or diet. This retreat asks you to show up, get wet and give things a go, but also listen and go with your own rythym.
And if you identify as a male, also not for you #sorrynotsorry
