Is This For You?
This course is ideal if you’re:
-
Beginning to paddle out back, or wanting to get more confident doing it
-
Catching green waves but not consistently
-
Ready to progress form the white water
-
Feeling stuck in your surfing - ready to level up (e.g. more advanced techniques and manouvers)
-
Wanting to improve your positioning, timing and decision-making in the lineup
-
Wanting to work through fear, hesitation or mental blocks holding you back
On Day 1, we’ll likely begin in white water or mellow conditions to assess fundamentals – paddling technique, positioning, pop-up and awareness.
Then, as the week progresses, we’ll be working our way through the 10 steps that will help you to feel more comfortable getting out back, catch way more waves, and riding them with skill & confidence!
All-inclusive surf camp, breathwork, yoga, surf
Emotions, Fear & Mindset in the Surf
Surfing out back isn’t just a physical upgrade — it’s a mindset shift. Doubt, fear, comparison, freeze response — these all show up. We name them, meet them with compassion, and work with techniques to move through emotional blocks as they arise.
Expect a blend of:
-
Surf theory & ocean awareness
-
Breathwork tips for in and out of the water
-
Surfskate drills for movement awareness
-
Video feedback for clarity & confidence
-
Reducing fear, pressure and panic
-
In-water coaching to rewire your approach in real time
... and of course - Ali's 10 keys to unlock your surfing- a framework Ali has developed in all his years of coaching around the world

Still a Bit New to It All?
If you're not fully out back yet, that’s ok – this course bridges the gap. You’ll be grouped with others at a similar level, and supported to progress at your own pace. Some of our most powerful transformations happen with surfers in this exact space – not quite beginner, not yet advanced, but ready to break through.

Retreat Reviews
‘What a wonderful week of so much laughter and connection.
Ali is the perfect host, opens space for people to feel safe and open up, but also to be silly and have a lighthearted time.
This retreat was relaxing, fun, eye opening and not like other retreats I’ve experienced. Amazing for anyone who is new to retreats and may be nervous to join one, this is the one for you!’
