A perfect environment to improve your surfing

Our retreats combine professional coaching, practice on a world-class mechanical wave and a safe, supported, women-centered environment where guests can make meaningful connections with like-minded women and truly elevate their surfing.

Pavones is home to the second longest left-hand wave on the planet.

We can provide coaching for longboarding, shortboarding, stand-up paddle boarding and waveski surfing. No matter what craft you ride, we can help you take it to the next level.

Bring your board

We encourage you to bring your own board, as what board you are riding can greatly influence your progress.

Ideally, we want you to feel comfortable in the line-up but also to take your progress home with you! Using your own board also means we can help identify if you’re on the right board for your level.

Although, if you are unable to bring your own board we can supply you with a suitable options (we have many!).

This retreat is designed for women ready to charge, explore, and connect—in and out of the water. Are you ready to ride the wave of a lifetime and improve your surfing?
