“Club Shakas Retreat was exactly what I needed to raise my confidence and get out on the board more often. Loved the safe and supportive space to give it a go!!”

“Great surf retreat with a wonderful group of women.”

“A fun weekend with some amazing likeminded ladies, a great opportunity to get out on a board with no judgment. The early morning surf with the sunrise was perfect. I would definitely recommend to anyone that needs a weekend away and wants to give surfing a go! 🏄‍♀️🌊❤️”

“I had an amazing time at the Club Shakas Retreat! From the moment I arrived, the energy was so warm and welcoming. Liv, our host, was absolutely amazing—bubbly, down-to-earth, and made sure everyone felt right at home. The surf instructor Berlin was not only super knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about helping us improve and feel confident in the water. One of the best parts of the retreat was connecting with like-minded women; the sense of community and support was so uplifting.”

“It was an amazing retreat- it was so special to get to meet and connect with other amazing women from around Australia, and to have the opportunity to learn to surf in such a supportive and comfortable environment. I loved every minute of the retreat from the surf lessons, to the meals together and all the activities in between. It was such a lovely weekend and I would highly recommend!”
