Learning something new—especially a sport like surfing—can feel intimidating. Maybe you’ve never tried anything like this before, you’re managing an old injury, or you feel like you’re not as in shape as you used to be. But none of this should hold you back—the rewards of learning to surf are truly life-changing!

Surf & Yoga Retreat for Women Over 50
April 21 – 27, 2025

We created this retreat because many women asked us, “Do you have a surf and yoga retreat just for women 50 and over?” They wanted a vacation where they could step into something new—like surfing or yoga—without feeling out of place. They craved the camaraderie and connection that comes from being surrounded by women who share similar life experiences.

This surf retreat is all about creating that space—a supportive, empowering, and fun environment where you can laugh, learn, and grow with peers who understand and inspire you.

Experts agree that learning a new sport is empowering and boosts mental clarity, physical health, and overall well-being. Surfing isn’t just about catching waves; it’s about reconnecting with your adventurous spirit, challenging yourself, and discovering something new inside you.

As we shared in our blogs “Yes, You Can Learn to Surf at 50!” and “Learning to Surf at 60 ~ Young at Heart“, it’s never too late to catch your first wave. For the last 21 years, we’ve taught hundreds of women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond how to surf, and we’d love to teach you, too!

Here’s what makes this surf and yoga retreat so special—and why it might just be the adventure you’ve been waiting for:

Why Join Our Women 50+ Retreat?
