Latitude Zero Resort | Telo Islands, Indonesia

April 19 - April 26 2026

Join Kassia Meador and Laure Mayer for a luxury 7-day women’s surf retreat at Latitude Zero, a private tropical island resort located almost directly on the equator in the pristine Telo Islands of Western Indonesia. Surrounded by white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, this remote paradise offers access to nearly 50 world-class surf breaks within an hour by speedboat, delivering consistent, high-quality waves for a range of conditions and abilities. As the only resort with daily access to the entire Telo Island chain via a fleet of international-standard speedboats, Latitude Zero Resort provides an unmatched blend of surf variety, comfort, and connection — the perfect setting for meaningful surf progression, rest, and sisterhood in one of the most beautiful corners of the planet.

This retreat is created for intermediate + lady sliders who love longboarding and are ready to deepen their connection to waves and the language of the ocean. Longboards are our primary focus, with funboards and mid-lengths also welcome. You don’t need to be “perfect” — just comfortable handling yourself in the lineup, able to see and successfully catch your own waves, ride down the line, and kick out. If you can turtle roll and enjoy surfing reef breaks, you’ll feel right at home here. Our intention is to support your progression in a nurturing, inspiring setting — helping you build confidence in nose riding, refine your turns, and find more flow and ease between maneuvers. All of this unfolds during an unforgettable girls’ surf adventure, sharing waves, laughter, and growth in pristine, uncrowded conditions.
